Game story:

In on the Farm, the player was a sheep. On the Farm 2 was the dog's turn. 
Now it's even crazier and mad. Potty Pigeon meets the South coast of England. 
It's the turn of the Seagull and it's silly bombing mission.

After eating too many ice creams on the Coast of Cornwall, the Seagull decides 
to hover around the cliffs and spotted some tasty crops as they smelt very nice. 
However the patch of crops were being invaded be sheep. 
The seagull was very jealous of the hungry sheep, only one thing for it  BOMBS AWAY  Plop!

The Game:

You are the greedy Seagull, who wants to get at the crops, in which was meant for the hungry sheep. 
Your task is to defend those crops from the sheep invaders. You can try to stop the sheep invasion simply by using 
the dirtiest trick in the book. That's right, poop on them to make them run away. 
You will have a certain number of sheep to bomb at before you will move on to the next level. 

While you are bombing the sheep, you will encounter some other crazy characters. They are as follows:

Shep the Border Collie:

The farmer loves his pet dog. Shep worked really hard to round the sheep up into their pen in OTF 2. 
Shep loves the sheep as well, he's made friends with many. 
In OTF3 Shep will occasionally appear run across the screen. Pooping on Shep will reward you a power up to gain either
speed or poop power  as if you had one two many :) The power ups will be short lived. 

Madoone the Mole:

Madoone may occasinally appear from the screen, then disappear. 
But he's been a very busy little character. As Farmer Rich is unaware of this. 
Madoone had sneaked into his barn and took away some firecrackers and physically hidden them on the ground.
If your Seagull plops on Madoone, it will automatically trigger a smart bomb effect on the field, making loads of sheep 
disappear.

Edgar the Eagle:

This character is one of Farmer Rich's well bred pets. Edgar hates seagulls and his mission is to try and stop any 
Seagull in sight. The only way you can avoid the Eagle is to dodge it, but will your reactions be fast enough?

Farmer Rich:

While farming, he's cool under pressure. Did well in a popular award winning TV game show, The Cuboid. 
However he's not cool all the time. After all he hates seagulls nabbing the crops that belongs to his sheep.
Armed with a pellet gun, he tends to strike a bullseye with Clay pigeon shooting. 
But he tends to be trigger happy with pesky seagulls like you. Avoid shooting him, and don't even try to bomb him either. 
It will make matters worse.

There may be additional characters as you progress through the game.
 But here's how the scoring works:

Crops left over = 100 points. The bonus will be counted by x100 for any of
the crops that are left uneaten by the sheep.

White sheep: 50 points

Black sheep: 100 points 

Bonus life: every 20,000 points. You'll need to work hard for that one :)

Shep the sheepdog: One of 3 power ups:
1) Speed up
2) Firepower up
3) Mystery
Power drains after a certain time.

Madoone the mole: Smart bomb

Can you complete all of the levels, stopping the sheep invasion? 
Good luck Seagull!
