SHEEPO

Played it because I loved Crypt Custodian and it didn't dissapoint. The overall feeling of the game and comedic writting is very similar. Despite being a platformer, that part isn't actually that bad. Quite easy actually. I didn't mind, but if you seek something a little more challenging, it's not the right choice. Imo bosses were way harder. I think one of them took me about 15-20 deaths. Altough I also picked Hard difficulty so that might have been a reason why.

I want to be able to recommend this because I love the dev's later games and humor, but Sheepo is a 2D platformer with [i]extremely[/i] loose movement (and the only things you can do are move, jump, and selectively interact) and a very large, very sparse world. It has a metroidvania-style map, but is a huge pain to get around because the loose controls make precision impossible and you often have to wall-jump back and forth over and over and over and over just to get around a (usually empty) room. There's a lot that could be great, here--it's silly and funny, the sparse world fits the narrative, the way the character can get upgrades to temporarily transform into other creatures is neat--but the loose movement kills it for me, especially because I do not like (and am not good at) platforming. I may keep playing to see if it becomes fun for me, but can't currently recommend this to anyone who doesn't love 2D platformers.

A bit quirky, fun, and lovely looking game. Weird creatures and the fictional dystopian environment are quite reminiscent of Rain World, as well as Badlands, sharing some gameplay mechanics as well. And although the gameplay isn't anything spectacular, it's undoubtedly very well executed, making it not only very fun to play but also to fully complete it as well. It's not frustratingly difficult. It's solidly made, with some nice touches, like most areas being accessible from both ends and having progression shortcuts. The soothing soundtrack not only fits the atmosphere very well, but I also found it very nice to listen to. And while it's quite an ordinary platformer, it still works well with its elements, reveals, exploration, and the light narrative.

Very fun and short metroidvania like game. you dont really fight anyone, not even the bosses. beat it under 3 hours in total. its more like a puzzle metroidvania game than anything out there. get it on sale though. for how short it is, 10 bucks is a bit too much.

Short, cute, and to the point. Everything is great except that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ worm boss.

The first of Kyle Thompson's metroidvanias, Sheepo is a gentle puzzle-platformer that shows signs of promise but I wish it had a little more substance personally. We are Sheepo, the titular sheep-ish alien. They arrive on a planet tasked with recovering the 6 eggs of the various species of life local to it. The denizens of the world don't seem terribly disposed to just give them up though, and so Sheepo tends to run afoul of some monstrous bosses who guard them. The name of the game is platforming and exploration. Sheepo has a neat transformation power that at first lets them use glowing white points to launch themselves over distances, but as you find eggs you gain the ability to temporarily turn into the species you find. The abilities that grants you are contextual; birds let you fly and boney worms let you burrow through the ground, for example, and naturally mastering all of Sheepo's forms is vital for total coverage of the planet. The one thing Sheepo can't do is fight, which means the requisite boss fights represent the primary challenge points in the game; a number of them tend to feature a repetitive sequence of dodging until you can trick a homing attack to hit the boss' face, which is a bit pedestrian. It's a short, sweet metroidvania though, and a nice low stakes entry point into the genre.
