How to play

  • Swipe across a rope to snip it (or tap it). The bundle falls or swings on the ropes that are left.
  • Drag from a peg to the bundle to tie a new rope: a new swing. The rope is exactly as long as the gap.
  • Drag from a peg to another peg for a springy rope: the bundle slides down a slope and bounces off a flat one.
  • Get the bundle into the sleepy sloth's arms. Pick up dream sheep on the way, and keep spare wool for bonus points.
  • Wool is limited, so plan each rope. On early levels, hold still on a rope to see where the bundle would go.
  • Kids Mode (tap the turtle): slower, time stops while you tie, and a balloon brings the bundle back.

Controls

  • Phone or tablet: Swipe across a rope to snip it. Drag from a peg to the bundle or to another peg to tie a rope.
  • Keyboard: Tab lights the next rope, Space snips it, R tries again. Esc pauses.
  • Mouse: Drag across a rope to snip it (hover to preview). Drag from a peg to the bundle or a peg to tie.
  • Gamepad: menus only (play with touch or the mouse).

Tips

  • A rope to the bundle makes a new swing; a rope between two pegs makes a slide or a trampoline.
  • Tie your new rope first, then snip the old one: the bundle swings on whatever is left.
  • A sheep is worth 300 points and a spare spool of wool 250, so pick up sheep before you save wool.
  • Not sure what to do? Wait a few seconds without touching and a hand shows you a good move.

About this game

It is bedtime in the toy bedroom. A blue bedtime bundle hangs on a rope high on the wall, and a sleepy sloth in a striped nightcap waits below with open arms. Swipe across a rope to snip it and the bundle drops, or swings on the ropes that are left. Snip at the right moment and it flies.

Here is the twist: you can also tie new ropes. Drag from a wooden peg to the bundle and a striped wool rope ties on, as long as the gap, with a bow at each end: a brand new swing. Drag from one peg to another and you make a springy rope. The bundle slides down a sloped one and bounces off a flat one like a trampoline. Most levels can only be solved by building, not just snipping, and you only have a few spools of wool, so every rope is a plan.

While you drag, the game shows what will happen: a dotted arc for a new swing, arrows for a slide, a little picture when a rope will not fit. On the first ten levels, hold still on a rope to see where the bundle would go.

Pick up the fluffy dream sheep on the way for stars, and keep spare wool for bonus points. Every catch ends with a hug, a yawn and a present: the bundle unwraps a bedtime thing for the Sleepy Tree House, and every ten levels a new sleepy friend moves in. There are 50 levels in five cozy rooms, each checked to be fair and winnable.

Younger players can turn on Kids Mode (tap the turtle): the world moves slower, time stops while you tie, and a balloon floats the bundle back if it falls. There is never a fail screen.
