Sheepo is a metroidvania platformer designed for Xbox Series X|S, where players control a shape-shifting character on a quest to gather samples of alien species. This full-version game emphasizes exploration and platforming rather than traditional combat mechanics. Players must locate unhatched eggs guarded by species queens, leading to encounters with challenging bosses. Successfully capturing an egg allows Sheepo to transform into the creature, unlocking new abilities to navigate the expansive environments.

The game features a rich interconnected world filled with diverse landscapes, hidden shrines, and intriguing characters. As players progress, they can dig, fly, and teleport, enhancing their exploration experience. Sheepo's unique approach to gameplay, focusing on collecting and transforming rather than fighting, offers a refreshing take on the genre, encouraging players to immerse themselves in its whimsical universe.
