Cute platformer. Lots of back and forth though.

It's not a debut for Jeff Murray/Psychic Parrot. PuttyCAD was new to the DB though.

Do you know if this is AGD or MPAGD?

I absolutely love this game, the artwork is beautiful & it plays really well.

I think the back & forth works better on this than most, maybe because there's no annoying logic puzzles involved (none of this give the oil can to the prince of Moldova because then the cake will appear on screen seven, which is of course used to power the speedboat type of thing.)

I'm pretty sure it was made with MPAGD.

Tested. Not easy at all, not because of the enemies/obstacles, but for the clock :)

Yeah the time limit is pretty strict! I guess it forces you to find the quickest way through & take more risks.
