Going for Nuts
A downloadable game for Windows
Do you like playing platform games and especially the old ones? A brand new and yet old game (in appearance) in 16-bit cartoon graphics. Experience a crazy adventure with an unusual hero. Suitable for everyone who wants to relax and have a good time. The individual levels are just the right length, and the difficulty is also set appropriately to make the game fun, but still not entirely easy. It all just depends on your skill. Beautiful pixel graphics like the good old games, but not insanely and deliberately difficult to play. Reminisce about the good old games with something new yet familiar.
Get closer and hear the story of an unusual hero's epic journey. (What? Yeah, I know. Your name is Frank. Can I continue?)
So listen, like a true hero without fear or shame, Frank immediately set out selflessly to save the world. (What? Well, it wasn't selflessly and not willingly. Look, do you want to tell the story yourself? No? So shut up and leave it to me.)
Well, it wasn't so selfless because he was promised a huge reward for it, so he decided to help out and went on a quest where he met some cute and friendly creatures. (Huh? They was cute, but definitely not friendly? Look, I can't scare everyone right now. I have to start easy. Otherwise I won't finish this story.)
Our hero Frank literally overcame giant mountains and icy plains, deep forests and dark undergrounds, he even visited a mysterious old castle, and all this just to face an enemy the world had never known before. (Hey, that's not nice of you. I can't say it was an orange scumbag. This doesn't fit in an epic story. Evil must always be big and seemingly invincible.)
So, at the end, an orange scumbag was waiting for him... eh, what am I saying?.. an enemy of unprecedented size and immeasurable power, with whom our hero named Frank had to cross forces. (What? You ran away from him like a hare? But you're not a hare. Ah, figuratively speaking. Oh, my God. You know what? Finish this story yourself. I'm done.)
If you want to know how this epic and goofy story ends, then accompany our little hero named Frank (Satisfied?) on his quest for glory and saving the world. (I know you only care about the promised nuts.)
This is really nuts.

(Demo version of the game) you can't see the nuts very well in the forest
beautiful graphics, over all feeling is amazing, just the right amount of effects and details (although, as an artist, I'm a bit uncomfortable with the illustrations)
show don't tell violation at the beginning - the story isn't really needed that much btw
the fact that I can't jump through the grass is annoying
some of the sounds are annoying (like the fairy or the pumpkin)
in the cave I can't see well where ever I can land after jumping
I like jumping on enemies a lot. Nice.
Well done!
Thank you very much for the review. 🙂 It was my first big game and I appreciate comments like this because I'm working on the next game and this way I'll know what to do differently or what not to do in the other game. 😉
"And it's over."
And it was fun!
The game looks, sounds and feels great.
Sometimes the actual platforms could probably be a bit more recognisable, more specially whether one is completely solid or may be crossed while jumping.
The level 17 was (consistenly) bugged for me, I could see the functional boxes (Camera Up, Camera Down, Goto next level ...) like I was in debug more or something.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for and I'm glad you enjoyed it. :-) I'll look at the errors in level 17 and fix them. I'm happy for every comment so I know what to do differently and better next time.
But it's wonderful !!! well done :)
Thank you. :)
Looks Great! Great Wok.
Thank you. :)
