Gameplay
• Illustration — A screenshot of Babe and Friends depicting the top-down puzzle gameplay. Babe and Friends is a puzzle game played in top-down perspective. The player guides Babe through 40 stages across five levels and leads a herd of sheep around obstacles, which must be positioned or manipulated in order to create a clear path. The game begins on a farm, but levels change the environment, each with their own distinctive obstacles, such as airports featuring carts and escalators. The game is also backwards compatible with previous Game Boy units, including the Pocket Game Boy and Super Game Boy.

Kyle Knight of Allgame praised the "well-designed puzzles" and "graduated difficulty curve" of the game as "amongst the best in the business", with "each puzzle...more challenging and more intriguing than the last". Critics noted the limited playtime and variety featured in the game. Hyper noted "the keen puzzle fan will finish this one off in a flash".
