I built a physics-based sheep battle royale to unwind–and it kind of exploded

Last month, I needed a break—from work, from deadlines, from reality. So I started tinkering with a silly idea: what if battle royale, but with exploding sheep?

That late-night thought spiraled into Crazy Cattle 3D, an indie game where 100 woolly rams slam, slide, and detonate across three absurd terrains—from Irish hills to Icelandic icefields to volcanic New Zealand chaos.

The twist? It’s all physics-based. Every movement, collision, and launch is calculated, making gameplay more about momentum and timing than reflexes. Most players get knocked out in the first 30 seconds. And 90% hit "play again" instantly.

It’s weird, chaotic fun, but also taught me a lot—about game loops, 3D collision, and how something stupidly simple (like sheep rolling downhill) can turn into an addictive gameplay mechanic.

If you need a laugh—or want to see how far one person can stretch the concept of "battle royale"—give it a spin. No installs. Just chaos: https://3d-crazy-cattle.org
