the White Crow Parrot - GameJam version
A downloadable game for Windows
Presentation
This game is made for the $105 Graphic Adventure GameJam.
To reply the question: No all of this wasn't done in 2 weeks, I designed some assets as placeholder to help myself while I was developping the engine and his features.
Those place holder where limited to the basic main character move, and the forest background. All the rest was done during the jam.

I am feeling pretty dumb; I can't find hot-spot that gets the character moving.
I don't want to give away spoilers here. Nothing comes out of the wagon.
I want to play this so badly :-) I peeked at a video and it looks fabulous!
Oh, I will try the C and X and see if that helps.
Success!!!
find out the C button is the first trap of the game :)
:-)
Your character is so charismatic!
I seem to have a talent for dying...
Best of luck.
wow .-) - I really LOVE it - not only the game is fun (even if I died soooo many times) but your graphic is gorgeous and your animations are jaw-breaking
Congratulations :-D (and yes - as said Steven, the Dragons Lairs feeling is quite strong)
I played your game and made a video on YouTube! Easily one of my favorites of the Jam
I love the dumb death count :D
My gameplay (and the game itself a little) is like dumb ways to die: medieval edition hahaha
This game is so pretty, tad on the short side but that's the trade off really - my only criticism would be put the control scheme in the game (even just a list in the esc menu) took me so long to get out of the cart -_-
Thanks for playing !!
Indeed, the button map is one of those many things I had to sacrifice on the altar of "Lack of Time".
That the price to work with my own engine, each small thing like this is big time consuming for implementation :/
Such a great game, funny without words, and so stylish and fun. I loved it and would love a bigger game. Great animations.
Thanks man.
Regards to the pleasure I had to finish that jam. There's a lot of chance that game grow with years indeed :)
Gorgeous animations and backgrounds. I get quite a "Dragon's Lair" vibe from it. The only point of criticism I have is that it forces restarting from the beginning whenever I die. While it increases play time, it also makes experimentation later on in the game a bit more difficult. Fortunately, it's not too long, so it's a minor niggle, but if you end up expanding on it after the jam, perhaps a checkpoint or save system would be useful.
Lol I tried to implement a checkpoint at the middle the story. But it was too late, I didn't achieved it in time. But for sure after the jam, it's a point I have to solve.
Thanks for you playtime anyway !
The graphics look great. Unfortunately I experience a bug where I am not seeing my character in the first screen. So I cant do anything. :(
:) The only bug I see here is: Someone didn't read the instructions (command) and is stuck at first puzzle :D
Haha, sorry for that! :) Cool game! The animations are top notch. The walk cycle alone made me laugh. Great work!
I'm glad you like it.
:) Hope you were able to reach the end without too many frustrations (the game can mistreat players )t !
I have no idea how to open and play this Game.
Rinzai.
