The "Gotland Minigame", also known as the "Fly! Goto Sheep" minigame (飛べ！ゴトシープ), is an Easter Egg minigame, only accessible via the Inventory menu.

• By clicking on all 3 flowers next to the fairy on the left of the Inventory menu, the minigame is unlocked.
• This consists of an "Anti-Air Defense" game, where the Gotland's black ship is thrown to destroy abyssal planes.
• The game session can be aborted at any time by maintaining the "End Emergency" button on the bottom-left corner.

This mini-game is just here to "kill time", and so is not linked to the rest of the game, neither consuming nor rewarding anything.

• It is possible to play this game at any time, even during an ongoing maintenance (if the game is not refreshed).
• Game musics as well as several girls' voicelines are played during the sessions.
• The minigame was added on the 2020/04/23 update.
  • The 2020/06/19 update added the Extra I, made the Shuusui attack available from the 1st wave, made the sheep glow when taking dow enemies, and added the larger mobile enemies.
  • The 2020/08/27 update added the Extra II

Trivia

The game is a reference to Gotland, the black sheep being her insignia and ingame mascot, and Gotland being historically an "Antiaircraft Cruiser" during the later part of WW2.

Gameplay

Supply Depot Princess Vacation Mode's pets
PT Imps:	PT Imps Damaged:	Ukiwa-san Drone:	Ukiwa-san Drone Damaged:
Baits			Sheep
Lemon Basket:	Medium Bulge:	New Medium Bulge:

The sheep is thrown using the mouse cursor:

• It follows a somewhat ballistic trajectory and bounces over the edges and ground.
  • There is no upper sealing, and so it might go very far above the game screen, taking a while to fall back down.
• It can be picked up mid-air to give it more energy and adjust its trajectory.

Each enemy plane destroyed gives points and increases the combo.

• Each time the ship lands back on the ground, the combo is reseted.
  • Throwing the ship back before it touches the ground therefore maintains the combo.
• The amount of points given by enemy takedowns depends on the enemy.
  • Some enemy planes will appear in larger variants, moving across the screen and giving more points.
    • Starting from the 2nd wave, those may explose and deflect the sheep's trajectory.
  • Some special items can also be picked up to bring more points.
  • The combo does not affect the score.
  • Some "baits" also appear randomly on the screen, but cannot be interacted with and do not affect the gameplay.

The "Shuusui button" activates a bonus interception attack, launching the Shuusui and rapidly shooting down many enemies.

• The number of stars displayed is the number of times it can be activated,
• One additional Shuusui attack is given per wave.

Sequences

The game is divided in up to 5 "Sequences", and 2 "Extra Sequences", each limited in time.

• A certain amount of point has to be achieved to reach the next sequence.
• Once the timer has ended, the sheep stops taking down enemies and comes to a stop.

• During the 5 mains sequances, only 1 big enemy will appear at 50 % of the time gauge.
  • Its trajectory is a simple circle which goes beyound the play area's boudary.
  • This enemy may or may not deflect the sheep on contact.
• During the Extra I & II sequences, enemies from the 4 firsts sequences come back, each rewarding the same amount of point as in their respective waves.
• During the Extra I sequence:
  • Enemies appear in baches, the type of enemy deepnding on the time gauge:
    • 1st type until 75 %,
    • 2nd type betwen 75 and 50 %,
    • 3rd type betwen 50 and 25 %,
    • 4th type below 25 %.
  • "Big versions" of the regular enemies appear in greater amount, each with a greater chance to deflect the sheep and with possible trajectories such as back and forth movements.
    • For the last 10 % of time remaining, 1st type "big versions" types also reappear.
• During the Extra II sequence:
  • All enemy types will apear at the same time.
  • No "big versions" appears, being replaced by 4 mini-boss phases, consisting of a PT Imp pair, surounded by 8 Ukiwa-san Drones circling around them.
    • The PT are invinsible and act as a solid wall untill all Ukiwas are down,
    • Once the Ukiwas down, the PT can be killed, and will respawn, for a total of 4 boss waves,
    • Ukiwa-san Drones reward 80 points and PT Imps 8000 points,
    • Ukiwa-san Drones & PT Imps each have a normal and a damaged CG.

Tips

The ship ballistic is relatively hazardous, being very bouncy, able to go very fast and far, but also losing a lot of energy at each bounce.

• It is therefore preferable to always keep the sheep moving as fast as possible in order to kill as many planes as possible.
• It should be avoided to give it too vertical trajectories, as it will shoot up very far, taking a while to fall back, and killing no enemy while outside the game screen.
• If possible, the sheep should be always in the airs, and always relaunched mid-air, as it is the best way to keep it moving fast.
• As combo do not provide any point gain bonus, there is no point trying to keep it continuously.
  • As the best way to play is too keep the sheep in the air, the combo will naturally stay high.
  • If a favorable ground bounce is possible, then it can be done at no loss.

The "Shuusui attack" is a special asset to keep in dire situations.

• One is given each wave,
• Any unused Shuusui is kept to the new wave,
• The attack can be used at any time, possibly all in quick succession.

It is advisable to not use any Shuusui during the 5 main sequences, and to keep all of them for the Extra ones.

Additionally, "baits" are just "baits", useless and so must not be taken care of.
