About Sven Bomwollen

In Sven Bømwøllen, the player controls Sven, a black sheep, with a task to mate with all the white sheep around. Sven is directed by a keyboard, with a special key that initiates the sexual intercourse. The female white sheep are entirely passive most of the time and await Sven's attention. Their current happiness status is shown by a weather symbol above their head. The more female sheep wait around for their needs to be satisfied, the more their symbols shift towards a lightning. At that point, they start to get angry and become red with horns, which makes them run around the field. They may electrocute Sven, which, in itself, merely causes a loss of points, but will also paralyze him for a short time. Before they turn red, Sven can whistle to them to cheer them up. After reaching a state of maximum happiness (symbolized by a heart), they will disappear, resulting in points being awarded to the player. To clear a level, Sven must make all the white sheep disappear.

There are two enemies whom Sven has to avoid: a shepherd Lars Einnicken and his dog Wøtan. The players can always avoid the two by jumping into a pond or puddle, which will not cost a life, but results in Sven reappearing elsewhere on the screen. Sven can pick up extras in the form of flowers and mushrooms to gain special powers. At the beginning, he has three lives in total, which can be increased by collecting power-ups. A fish sheep may jump out of the water; if Sven makes her happy, the player receives extra points. Occasionally, an alien UFO will appear and try to capture sheep with a beam. The game is set in a Scandinavian-inspired environment.
