Quirky metroidvania platformer Sheepo from indie developer Kyle Thompson (@KyleThompsonDev) is now available to pre-order on the Microsoft Store for $10.99 ahead of its official release on Xbox One & Xbox Series X/S.

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

The game is available to pre-purchase and pre-download on the Microsoft Store for $10.99. You can pre-download Sheep today, but it will not be playable until the official release date/time (check the Xbox Store for release date/time in your region).
