Sheepo is a delightful metroidvania platformer that invites players into the whimsical journey of a shape-shifting sheep-thing exploring an uncharted planet. As Sheepo, your mission is to collect samples of every living species to contribute to an intergalactic species database. The key to capturing these creatures lies in locating their unhatched eggs, which are fiercely protected by the species' queen—your boss encounters!

Upon obtaining an egg, you gain the unique ability to transform into that creature, allowing Sheepo to dig, fly, and teleport through a vast interconnected landscape filled with hidden areas. The gameplay is centered around platforming and exploration rather than traditional combat, offering a refreshing twist to the genre. Players can expect tight controls and a wealth of exploration opportunities as they traverse diverse environments, including lush forests, abandoned malls, and mysterious ruins.

With over 75 hidden feathers to discover, which serve as the planet's currency, players can purchase items at the last remaining shop in DeadMall. The game encourages non-linear gameplay, allowing players to forge their unique paths through the sprawling map. Embrace adventure and uncover the secrets of the planet in Sheepo!
