Crower VS The Time
One of my last experimental game projects that actually turned into a game. This game stars an limbless Dumb-Crow named Crower, who, according to the game storyline, has in an weird fate fallen asleep while playing some videogames that he gotten at some flea market, but strangely can’t wake up on his own, so his inner ego is now called to help wake himself up.
The game was first known as Dumb-Crow VS The Time, and were later changed to Crower VS The Time. Development of this game started at the end of August 2006, and lasted towards February 2008(about 3 years less than Kazooa in The Treasure Land). I even made an version with the game text translated into english that only took me a couple hours on a single night to accomplish.
Looking back on this game, it sure has its flaws. But it was kinda rushed to completion, so some things were cut from the game, like the option to play some minigames after having completed the game(its sister difficulty levels included), an level select screen(which would have been accessed via an cheat code), and a few more stuffs. Even an rotating tip-box object was planned(for providing hints about certain stuff), but alas was left out, as I never saw any use for it anywhere in the game. An ending for the game’s Super-Hard mode were to be included in the game, but had to be dropped for reasons beyond my own recalling.
About the part where Crower gets his games at a flea market, the game info window instead implies Crower got those games at some lottery. Retrospectively, Crower winning his games in a sort of lottery probably no longer made any sense to me, and for versions 1.7 and beyond it is now a flea market instead(Crower AND Crowiolina are even shown heading for the flea market in the new story cutscenes).
Several other games sprung up from this game as well during it’s development, such as a spinoff and a sequel, but neither saw completion... apart from one game, Kazooa in The Treasure Land, which was pretty much built from this game(with heeeavy modifications, of course). But it has nothing in relation to this game in any way, even if some things look similar between them.
In 2018 I decided to make an update to this old game of mine which fixes a number of issues and problems I found with the original.
