Owyn's Adventure is an indie puzzle platformer video game that I initially made as an entry to the Unofficial Gameboy Jam 2017.
After the two weeks of the Jam I felt that I was onto a good thing and would carry on "for a couple of weeks" to do some more level design. Two weeks turned into just over a year and Owyn's Adventure is the result.
I created all assets in the game aside from the music.

The player takes on the role of Owyn (named after my son), a boy who has been asked by his mother to find his grandfather and let him know that his dinner is ready. This seemingly straightforward task becomes an adventure as Owyn has to negotiate his way through five magical landscapes to his grandfather's secret laboratory, battling some fairly unlikely adversaries as he goes.
Owyn's Adventure is a cross between Super Mario Land and Zelda Links Awakening, with a nod to the four shades and the resolution of the original Game Boy.
It is available in 10 languages and was released on Itch.io on December 14th 2018 and Steam on April 4th 2019.
