Simple beginners guide going to go over controls, game mechanics, and what you need to do for each achievement!
Introduction
Surprised to see that there weren’t any guides for Sheepy yet! This game is short, it only really takes up to an hour to play. No experience or skills needed to perfect the game. This is just going to go over controls, game mechanics, and what you need to do for each achievement.
On a side note for you achievement enthusiasts, Sheepy will not show up under your perfected games. This is because its profile features are limited. You can usually view this for games on their store page.
Controls
Controls are a little different from your traditional 2D platformer.
- Walk – Arrow keys
- Sprint – X
- Jump – C
- Double Jump – C again
- Shoot – V
- Pause – Esc
Unfortunately can only play Sheepy in full-screen; here are some keys whenever you need to navigate away from the game.
Exit full-screen – Windows key or Ctrl+Esc
The game does have controller support. I’m not sure about steam dec support.
Game Mechanics
Hearts – You only get three hearts, there is no way to replenish them. You can view your health on the top left corner of the screen
Rainbow counter – You can view how many rainbows you’ve collected at the top right corner of the screen
Slimes – Slimes are the only hostile mob in the game, every hit they land takes one of your hearts. It takes a few lollipop shots to kill them. They can’t climb or follow you
Animals – The game also has sheep dogs and other sheep, you can stand and jump on them
Avoid water – Falling in the water will reset the level, it will kill you
Wall grabbing – You can grab onto walls by jumping onto them. You will slowly slide down the walls when you’re on them
Jump resets – You can reset your jumps by grabbing onto any surface, this includes the walls. This helps to get out of any holes/caves
No checkpoints – Dying has you restart to the beginning. The game won’t also save where you left off
