Protect the last few species in Sheepo

Sheepo Xbox

A sheep wouldn’t be your first choice when it came to choosing an animal to save the world, but that’s what has been chosen in Sheepo on Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch. And you can find out exactly how a sheep saves the world as Sheepo is released today.

This metroidvania platformer will take Sheepo to the planet Cebron to find six eggs. These will be used to help bring existing species to new planets when they are ready to be populated. However, the bag that Sheepo is putting these eggs in will also help them briefly become those animals, which can then be used to get around the world of Cebron.

This charming platformer also has another neat trick up its sleeve; there is absolutely no combat whatsoever. Sheepo will wander through this world with only environmental obstacles in their way. Their will be bosses to fight too, but how you defeat them will be left for you to figure out.

The world of Cebron has a few remaining inhabitants left who are there to enjoy their last few moments. You can help them out with their various problems or just have a laugh with them.

Game description

Sheepo is a quirky metroidvania platformer featuring a shape-shifting sheep-thing, who must traverse an uncharted planet in order to collect samples of each living species for an intergalactic species database. To capture a creature, Sheepo must find their unhatched egg, which happen to be highly guarded by that species “queen” (aka, a boss.) With each egg Sheepo collects, you then gain the ability to transform into that creature on contact, and explore the deeper reaches of the planets sprawling environment Sheepo is a metroidvania, but contains no standard combat. Instead, gameplay is based on platforming and exploration. With the collection of each creature, Sheepo is able to dig, fly, and teleport across an interconnected series of landscapes, uncovering hidden shrines, old ruins, and strange characters.
