I just added a new update for Sheepo! The main aims for the update were accessibility and performance. A big thanks to halfcoordinated for helping me out a bunch with figuring out some accessibility options for Sheepo! Here's a list of changes: 1. There is a significant performance boost. Sheepo is not particularly "heavy", but I did hear some comments on performance in certain areas. The new update uses a more efficient compiler, and every room runs about 30-40% faster. If you have a faster computer, you probably won't notice any difference, but if the game ran slow for you in certain areas, hopefully this will fix that issue! 2. You can change the music/sound effects volumes at more precise amounts now, rather than just on/off. 3. There is an added "Photosensitive Mode" that removes any flashes and intense lights. 4. You can remove text effects on dialogue 5. You can display your health as a number instead of a color, since it was brought to my attention that the colors may not have enough contrast for people with colorblindness 6. Two of the hardest bosses become slightly easier if you die against them enough times. This change only occurs on easy or normal mode, and it affects the "Grapple Gang" boss, and the "Slime Queen" boss. 7. You can turn on "Auto Flying", where you can fly with the longbird by holding down the jump button rather than tapping repeatedly. 8. And a bunch of tiny bugs have been fixed, and some small tweaks have been made based on other requests. I will probably take a bit of time before releasing another update (unless anything new/major pops up), but in the meantime, please let me know if you have any requests or suggestions. Thanks so much! -Kyle

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.
- Tight platforming with variety. Play as both Sheepo, and the variety of creatures you come in contact with. Gameplay remains fresh as you consistently learn the moves of each creature
- Traverse a sprawling landscape with tons of hidden rooms and characters. Explore old mines, an abandoned mall, lush forests, the dingy sewer system, and much more.
- 75+ hidden feathers to collect (the planets currency), which can be spent at the last remaining shop in DeadMall.
- Non-linear gameplay. Sheepo begins somewhat linearly, but the map quickly opens up to allow you to make your own route.
- OS: glibc 2.17+. 32/64-bit
- Processor: Intel Core i3 M380Memory: 2 GB RAM
- Memory: 2 GB RAM
