The Boy and his Story (Prototype V0.2.6)

Something happened to you that you blame yourself for. But in the back of your MIND, you know it wasn't you. You want answers. You NEED answers.

What does this game feature? Check it!

• Fast-paced, action platforming inspired by many 2-D platformers (and some 3-D games)

• A big Story by me, Kappa Nerd, that is being made on-the-spot 80% of the time

• A big cast of colorful characters with their own unique traits while having been inspired by characters from other media

• My cats, Saiyan, Luna (soon), and Solar (soon)

• 2 engaging gameplay loops, 1 inspired by the Sonic Rush trilogy (and many others), 1 inspired by Dragon Ball FighterZ and Hisoutensoku (soon) (and many others)

• Terrible, pea-brain programming also by me, Kappa Nerd, that somehow created this game on a decade-old Windows 8.1 laptop

• Pixel art ‘n’ animation also also by me, Kappa Nerd, that’re smooth, expressive, ‘n’ crispy, inspired by other games like the Sonic Advance trilogy, UNDERTALE/DELTARUNE, the MOTHER (Earthbound) series, and Pizza Tower

• Crusty hand-drawn art also also also by me, Kappa Nerd, for certain scenarios and screens to give you clear visuals on how everything and everyone looks, inspired by MANY artists like Phantom Arcade, Akira Toriyama, Toyotaro, Yuji Uekawa, Temmie Chang, ‘n’ more

• Ever expanding soundtrack composed also also also also by me, Kappa Nerd, inspired by many artists like Kawai Sprite, Biddle3, Hideki Naganuma, Toby Fox, Heaven Pierce Her, Tomoya Ohtani, Tee Lopes, ‘n’ many more (Hopefully get guest composers later down the line)

• Extensive and ever growing accessibility options to help make the game playable for more audiences

• Challenging ranking system that rewards learning game mechanics

​

This game is currently a prototype and FREE. Assets'll likely get changed in some update and if you've bought it, you got finessed.

'Nother Note: Some sprite assets are ripped from Sonic Rush, Sonic Rush Adventure, and Sonic Colors DS as of right now. These will be replaced.

RETURNING PLAYERS PRE-V0.2.5 (Windows): You gotta delete all your files via localappdata or the game WILL crash. This is due to new systems in the game checking for something that's non-existent in your old files. You will not have to deal with this post-V0.2.5.

Xbox Controller Supported AND Recommended (I'm bein' serious)

(For Playstation and Switch controllers, you'll have to use external apps to get them to work. Really sorry for the inconvenience and I'll try to get those to work at some point.)

Controls will be explained in-game. (Are customizable.)

Wanna support the game? Share it around with your peers ‘n’ get ‘em to try it out. Or try makin’ somethin’ fan-made. I’d love to see that.
