Divide By Sheep
Mild overall intensityWhat's in it
Cartoon puzzle violence in which sheep and other critters are sliced apart by lasers or left to drown as part of solving the math puzzles; no blood or realistic gore.
A lighthearted-but-morbid premise in which the Grim Reaper has flooded the world and stranded animals face death; the mood is comedic rather than distressing.
Slicing and killing cartoon sheep and critters is the core puzzle mechanic, presented in a stylized, non-graphic way.

What it is
Divide By Sheep is a single-player math puzzle game where the Grim Reaper has flooded the world and you rescue critters stranded on islands. You solve arithmetic puzzles by grouping animals onto rafts and, when the numbers require it, slicing sheep in half with lasers. The violence is entirely cartoonish and bloodless — animals get comically cut apart or drown as part of the math — and the tone is a playful take on death. There is no chat, no online play, and no in-app purchases.
How it's framed
The game frames the death of its cute animal characters as lighthearted, tongue-in-cheek dark comedy in service of solving math problems; harming the sheep is a neutral puzzle tool, presented with humor rather than menace or realism.
