Conclusion: Excellent job D-Pad studio, wish you all the best! Totally recommended for its experience! The most important thing for me as a Muslim: This game almost has no religious violations (Shirk, nudity, sexual themes, and all other dirty stuff), so I am not afraid to share this game with others with no fear of doing something Haram (I hope all games do that). Afterwards, the things I liked about this game was: 1. The art style and animation are excellent (Great job for what you have done). 2. Most main characters are noble, polite, and not arrogant (especially Otus). 3. Dialogue and story aren't too complicated and forked for a fantasy game. 4. The ending is so emotional for someone who played the whole game and reads the dialogue, and wished for little more time further. 5. On the other hand, things I didn't like that much about it: 1. The shop is relatively pointless, and isn't necessary to get all trinkets (items). 2. I wanted a simple map to let me know where I am (at least in big and enormous places). 3. Some texts doesn't pause and let me read it carefully (or give me a little more time to understand more what is happening and being said). And thank…1 found this helpful
If you want to explore indie games,....this is an experience you don't want to miss... It has a heartfelt story...loveable characters, awesome music, beautiful game design and interesting gameplay. I beat this game in 11 hours or so and I did not collect all the coins, but its an experience I can wholeheartedly recommend to anyone. It does have its gripes, some bosses are a bit confusing to learn and the lack of a map, makes backtracking atrocious, but despite all that...you need to pick this up.1 found this helpful
Sad to say I got this for free like 10 years ago and to think and I'm just now playing it. Not a long game can be beat within 8-10 hours but its a fun platformer/puzzle type game with an interesting story. Always rooting for an underdog! If you can get it for free like I did or extremely cheap then do it.
It's an alright game but there are several things that just make it mid, if you want to play don't be expecting much
a very beautiful game that only takes a couple hours to complete and a few more to 100%, absolutely worth playing, I loved everything about Owlboy, from the charming and lovable characters to the incredible pixel art and OST which just drew me in right from the get-go. I highly recommend giving it a go when you have the chance!! go and experience the great story and wonderful world of Owlboy, I hope you all love it as much as I did.
Solid platformer, would be better if you could remap controls.
