Damn, i'm kinda blown away by this game. Released as a free game on Steam this february, I randomly heard about it on a podcast recently.
Amazing atmosphere, tight controls and beautiful pixel art.
If you enjoy Inside, Limbo, Ori etc.. well, do yourself a favor and play this gem of a game.

the usual metroidvania style indie game, with a depressed atmosphere? No thank you

 

[touchfuzzy]

For free, why not? Sounds like a decent way to spend a couple hours.

Well, it's not really a metroidvania. More like Inside / Limbo, with the tight controls like Ori. Not at all depressing. Just beautiful. I tend to struggle to enjoy those "usual indie metroidvanias" you describe, but this hit straight home for me.

Best game of 2024

This is made by folks from the MrSuicideSheep music channel. Thanks for the heads up, will check it out!

​

So far. For me, yeah I actually think so. Does that make me a badass? Cool!

 

[Hrk69]

Nah. Best game of the year so far is obviously Suicide Squad

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

"Best Game"

"Best Game"

Yeah, I guess I should have written "best game in 2024 so far for ME", to avoid the usual responses like this.

Anyone got the controllers to work with the Rog Ally ?

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

thanks

Numbers don't lie! The overwhelmingly positive user reviews on Steam makes Sheepy the #77 best rated game among the 73k games on Steam. Also best rated game of 2024.

OP:

Anyway, will give it a go tomorrow. nn y'all.

Sadly it seems to struggle on handhelds. Its not compatible with steam deck at least. Too bad, as it would be perfect for the handhelds.

Nice to see devs promoting their games on here. Hope it does well for you OP!

I wish! I'm not even able to make a basic rpg in the "rpg maker" games.

What’s the catch?

 

[Holammer]

Played it to completion and yes, it deserves the praise. Pixel art and music are top notch, the platforming super tight.
In fact, the pixel artists are really splurging and showing off in places. It's a short & sweet treat.

What’s the catch?

There's no catch, but Sheepy does sell the OST and you can donate money via KO-FI. Developers occasionally release games for free. It can be student games or game jams and usually they put em on itch.io, but sometimes they pony up the 100$ publishing fee and put it on Steam, for our convenience.

Like Bloody Hell, a clever metroidvania. It was made by Dutch students and released for free. Like Sheepy, it's also very well received.

Works if you force Proton 9 (Beta) or Proton Experimental. You also need to change the control scheme (Gamepad Template works fine).

Finished it tonight. It's much more of a bite sized Ori than it is a Limbo/Inside as it has more mechanical tricks up its' sleeve. It certainly doesn't wear out it's welcome and I'm a little surprised they didn't flesh it out a bit more and monetize it.

I'll try it if it's on console
