Game screen.

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.
• The enemy planes are various enemy ball bombers.
• The bosses are the PT Imps and Ukiwa-san Drone featuresd on the Supply Depot Princess Vacation Mode's CG.

Gameplay

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 attack always follows the same diagonal trajectory, killing all enemies in this radius, but none outside.
• The number of stars displayed is the number of times it can be activated,
• One additional Shuusui attack is given per wave, and unused ones are carried over the new wave.

Sequences

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

• A certain amount of points 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.
• Do note that the game is very laggy, resulting in the timer taking more or less time to complete.

• During the 1st, 2nd, and 4th sequences, only 1 large enemy will appear at 50 % of the time gauge.
  • Its trajectory is a simple circle which goes beyond the play area's boundary.
  • This enemy may or may not deflect the sheep on contact.

• During the Extra I sequence:
• Enemies from the first 4 sequences come back, each rewarding the same amount of points as in their respective waves.
  • Enemies appear in batches, the type depending on the time gauge.
• "Large versions" of the regular enemies appear in greater amounts, each with a greater chance to deflect the sheep and with back-and-forth movements for the 4th type.

Extra I Enemy Spawn	Time gauge
	100~80 %	80~60 %	60~30 %	30~0 %
Small
Large	x4~5 at 90 %	x3~5 at 70 %	x3~5 at 50 %	x4~5 at 20 % x7~10 at 15 %

• During the Extra II sequence:
• Enemies from the 1st, 2nd, and 4th sequences come back, each rewarding the same amount of points as in their respective waves.
  • Enemies appear in batches, the type depending on the boss stage.
  • No "large version" appears, being replaced by 4 mini-boss phases, consisting of a PT Imp pair, surrounded by 8 Ukiwa-san Drones circling around them.
    • The PT are invincible and act as a semi-solid wall until all Ukiwas are down,
    • Once the Ukiwas down, the PT can be killed, and will respawn, for a total of 4 boss phases,
    • For the 3rd and last boss phase, the PT & Ukiwa will be in their damaged form, and the PT will require 3 hits to be killed.

• For the 5 main sequences, each sequence's score is displayed under the sequence's enemy icon, being greyed if the sequence was not reached.
• For the Extra sequences, the score is displayed under an additional boss node icon for the Extra I, and a Ukiwa-san Drone one for Extra II, each only appearing is said sequence was reached.
• A purple boss node icon was used to reprensent the Extra II, but it was later replaced by the Ukiwa.

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 to 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.

For the Extra I, it is important to kill all enemy planes, as higher versions will not spawn in a spot where a lower one is already flying.

• Freeing up airspace will allow enemies rewarding more points to spawn in greater numbers.

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

It is technically possible to "pause" the game, but freezing the kancolle window. In this case, the games just stops, and starts back as soon as the window gets active again.

• It is notably possible to do this when switching app on Android while playing via Gotobrowser.
