  • story
    17 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “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 in "Crowman & Wolfboy" is a well-executed blend of level-based platforming and endless runner mechanics, featuring quick-paced action where players must collect light orbs to evade shadows.

    • “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).”
