  • story

    17 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “A fun game and interesting story where two shadows of wickedness seek for redemption.”
    • “Kind of a bare bones no real challenge or plot platformer that gives you like 90,000 achievements for no reason.”
    • “It ends very abruptly, with no satisfying end to what little story was presented.”
    • “Though the game has a great feature of gameplay, timing and vivacity are needed to keep these two best friends running from the deadly wave of darkness; I know it sounds sad, but the art presents how desperate they are, which makes a sweet story.”

    • “The gameplay - the 2D platformer and runner combination has been done before, but it is used to great effect in Crowman & Wolfboy.”

    • “The music could use some variety, but the sounds for Crowman and Wolfboy are great, with growls, grunts, chirps, pants, squawks, and screeches.”
    • “However, there are some features missing, like I mentioned before; also, there is no feature to turn off the music/sound (if there is any, then I must be having difficulty finding it).”
