A city known for it's advancement in technology is suddenly taken over by a robot menace. The threat has proven to be more than enough for the government so in a last ditch effort they send in a police force known as Cyber Sheep. Everyone within  Cyber Sheep is an android built for taking on rogue machines around town. However, this time they are set up against an unknown mechanical threat.

About the game

Cyber Sheep is a game about three characters traveling in and out of a transforming labyrinth to figure out who or what this threat is. It is an action/platform similar to Megaman Zero and the ZX series. With different modules that upgrade the character in different, and sometimes unique ways, explore different areas.

Currently, the game is in an early state. All three characters are playable, but the first area has no end and is set on a loop. The shops, controls, and adventure itself all work, however. I am mostly uploading this for feedback and bugs that may happen.

Current Features

  • Fast pace, action heavy gameplay similar to Megaman Zero.
  • Three playable characters; Ophelia, Cythia and Shadow.
  • Weapon fusion system where certain weapons can be combined.
  • A roguelite with heavy emphasis on story. (Currently no abrupt level ending with no boss)

Controls

  • A - Jump/Confirm
  • S - Attack/Cancel
  • D - Item
  • E/R - Change menus/Selected weapon
  • Q - Dash/Special
  • M - map
  • Controls can be changed in the pause menu.(As I know my controls aren't optimized for all)

I want to continue updating the game as well as a couple others I work on to not get burned out on one thing. So if you'd like, follow me at @TheYawningFox to hear about my progress!

All kinds of feedback and reports are appreciated.

Hi, I booted up your game and am stuck at the character select screen. I highlighted all the portraits and the day/evening/night icons, pressed space/enter, nothing. also the evening icon is stuck in the "on" position and i have no idea what that means.

Ah, I should make Enter/Space select, but the select button is jump I believe. (Or A as default). Regardless, I'll look into it and see what's going on! First time I've heard of this occurring.

add controller support and remapping while youre at it - better to put in the accessibility features now rather than later

And mac/Linux support

Without a doubt an excellent metroidvania. Even more in the Cyberpunk subgenre, which I really like. It has enormous potential for a sensational indie game. With improvements and a lot of effort, this game will be wonderful. Congratulations for your work.

Thank you! I still have a very long way to go, especially fixing up more things and giving the other character's the rest of their moves (At least for the demo).

So cool! Everything is amazing, from the art, to the gameplay.

The game is very pleasant when you get used to the controls (and yes, I don't like your controls, I personally prefers space: jump, D: attack, S: dash, A:Item, Q/E Change weapon)

Also, how do you quit the game? (I don't find any quit button... edit: ok found it)

Looking forward to the updates! +1 follow

Thank you so much! And yeah, a lot of my testers told me my standard controls are rough, so once I get a general set of controls that work I will properly change it to those! I also need to make the exit a little more noticeable.  Regardless, thank you so much for the feedback!
