OwlBoy is a phenomenal game. When writing this review of the game, I discovered that the title started development way back in 2007, and it shows. D-Pad Studios have put in the work and it has paid off. This title is truly one of the best indie platformers I’ve ever played and it comes with my highest recommendation.
