Yes. It runs in the browser on itch.io with no account, no ads and no purchases. Downloads for Windows and Linux are free too. If you want to say thanks there is a tip link, and that is all.

No account, no password, no email. The first time you submit a score you claim a username and are shown a recovery code once. Your device remembers you; the code lets you use the same name somewhere else.

No, and that is deliberate: nothing about you is stored that could be used to reset it. Claim a new name. Your old scores stay attributed to the old name.

Scores are submitted with their seed and drop log, and the server refuses anything physically impossible - a tower taller than the sheep in it could ever stack. If a real run was refused, something is wrong on our side; say so.

The height in metres of the highest settled sheep. A sheep still moving or falling does not count. The board shows your best of the day.

Because a tower that dumps eleven sheep deserves to say so. The run ends at three; the counting does not.

Sleeping sheep deep in the pile freeze solid. It stops the whole tower jittering apart under its own weight, and it means a collapse takes the top off rather than everything. It is also why the browser build runs smoothly.

No. Every gust is announced by dandelion seeds streaming across the screen for a second and a half before any force lands, and the same seed always produces the same weather.

Five. The menu tells you how many you have found and nothing else.

Someday, maybe. The browser version is the game; the day boards here are the leaderboard.

For the board: the username you chose, a hashed device token, your scores and when they were posted. IP addresses are hashed and used only for rate limiting. No emails, no passwords, no ads, no third-party trackers.
