A very fun experience. Having grown up with the original iOS release of HSH2, this is a nice replacement given it's long since been delisted due to incompatibility issues with newer devices. The Flash version was always an option, though it is only available in pieces and is missing certain content.
I do feel as though multiplayer may not have been the best addition, as it is a puzzle game designed around switching characters, which can cause certain issues when that limitation is removed. However, if you wish to experience the game with friends or family, then you are free to do so.
If you simply wish to play Home Sheep Home 2 singleplayer, I would recommend running the old-school Flash version through Ruffle or the Flashpoint Archive. It's available in 3 parts, each containing one of the game's 3 episodes.
If, however, you wish to experience the game in multiplayer, or if you would like the bonus levels and collectables only present in the now-defunct iOS release, then this version is for you. The price is high for what it is, but it seems to go on sale often for as low as $1.49.
The updated Farmageddon release also features the new 'Lost on The Farm' chapter, which is a full remake of the first Home Sheep Home game remade in the sequel's engine, which is a welcome addition.
The only aspects from the iOS version that have been removed are the cheats, as many of them were designed around a mobile interface, and the later-added promotional level for Aardman's other property 'The Pirates!', which has been converted into a multiplayer-only minigame exclusive to the game's party mode. Some other features, such as using the mouse or number keys to switch sheep, have also been removed to accommodate multiplayer, and would be nice to have available when playing alone.
The game's menus and sounds have been changed in ways I don't personally enjoy, as they seem much more generic and lack the original's charm, though it is simply a personal preference. The level selection screen is now much more linear, although having level preview images is nice as opposed to a grid of numbers. Having collectables make a generic coin sound effect on level completion, however, is an odd change which I do not understand, especially as they still make their unique sound effects when collected within the levels themselves.
In simpler terms, if you enjoyed the original, you will enjoy this version. It has about 95% of the features from the iOS release, alongside a small yet likely fun party mode made in the game's engine.
