Description

When I was much younger, my family adopted two cats that had been together their entire lives, Cool-B and Floyd. Sadly, Floyd got very sick. We took Floyd as Cool-B watched and took him to the vet for the last time. When Floyd passed away, Cool-B of course dramatically changed. He would always be searching for Floyd, crying, calling for him every night. I would often cry with him, missing Floyd.

This game is a speed-based platformer about Cool-B's journey to find Floyd. Levels are randomly generated as you play, and you're presented with many different kinds of challenges that are different each time. Created entirely by one person, all aspects of the game are very personal and are meant to be looked at in a personal way. Everything from the speed-based tight-control gameplay and Scottish fiddle and chiptune music to the childish visual style is purposefully put together to embody Cool-B's heart as he searches for his brother in this game about never giving up.
