There are two enemies whom Sven has to avoid: a shepherd Lars Einnicken and his dog Wøtan. To clear a level, Sven must make all the white sheep disappear. After reaching a state of maximum happiness (symbolized by a heart), they will disappear, resulting in points being awarded to the player. Before they turn red, Sven can whistle to them to cheer them up. They may electrocute Sven, which, in itself, merely causes a loss of points, but will also paralyze him for a short time. At that point, they start to get angry and become red with horns, which makes them run around the field. The more female sheep wait around for their needs to be satisfied, the more their symbols shift towards a lightning. Their current happiness status is shown by a weather symbol above their head. The female white sheep are entirely passive most of the time and await Sven's attention. Sven is directed by a keyboard, with a special key that initiates the sexual intercourse. In Sven Bømwøllen, the player controls Sven, a black sheep, with a task to mate with all the white sheep around.
Released in 2002, it is the first instalment of a series of humorous German games, all concerning the sexual behaviour of the titular character, a black sheep named Sven Bømwøllen. Sven Bømwøllen is a video game developed by Phemomedia and published by ak tronic Software & Services GmbH for Microsoft Windows.
