What type of game is it?

Adventure Platformer

What’s the 30 second elevator pitch?

You know how Dynamite Headdy, Decap Attack & Psycho Fox were all super cool games because you could throw something illogical as a weapon while most platformers were still making you shoot or jump-on enemies? How about a game where your child is your weapon, and you ‘Dad’ must save the world using said weapon?

What do we like most about it?

I’m just going to drop a quote here.

“Once your Child gains enough experience it can be thrown through the windows of a Gym, school or other educational establishment to learn new abilities. Of course these abilities vary based on the class of child you’ve chosen. Each class introduces a new attack mechanic; the scholar can learn elemental abilities and use a variety of special attacks while the Jock’s physical form makes it very powerful in close quarters combat. As the child is nurtured, it will undergo physical changes to fully express its personality that is hidden deep within.”

Anything else worth shouting about?

Nothing really, the whole game is a fantastically novel idea from mechanics through to art & sound. Did I mention that should a dad fall their son will grow up to become the next dad? Because, that’s pretty cool too.

When’s it due?

The game is set to release for PC in the… future? I couldn’t find a release date for the game.
