52 Great Games Like Sheepo

Our experts have spent time searching for great games similar to Sheepo and have found the following:

Sheepo is a running and jumping game where you explore a vibrant world in a quest to collect an egg from every species in the universe to save them from extinction. You take on bosses like other platforming games, but here you use the surroundings rather than weapons to defeat them. As you defeat different species you can become that creature, allowing you to reach new areas and discover more of the many secrets in the game. With a clear emphasis on climate change and ecological decline, it's an unusual game with an impactful message.

Unfortunately, Sheepo is not available on Android, Mac or iOS. However, we recommend the following games that offer a similar experience or theme:
