Freedom Fall casts you in the role of a roguish hero who bears a striking resemblance to JRPG fan-favorite Crono. Your adventure begins at the tippity top of a tower. A message scrawled on the wall behind you provides instructions on basic movement. A few screens down and you discover that these sloppily-written missives serve a greater purpose than a game tutorial. They were written by your captor, a princess whose father built the prison you now call home.
Australian developer Stirfire Studios is best known for its vertical platformer Freedom Fall, and the studio isn't done with the world yet.
Grab It has the details on a new indie download pack that gives plenty of value.
Some of these bundle prices are stupidly good. Seriously, $3 - why are we paying $100 for six hours of Gears of War
"Peruse the App Store and you’ll no doubt find a wealth of sidescrolling platformers to scratch any itch you might be feeling. What you won’t find as easily down-scrolling platformers. Australian developer Stirfire Studios dabbles in this little-used subgenre with Freedom Fall, and the end result is an engaging and charming experiment well worth your time."
The writing on the walls is a pretty fun idea. Escaping the princess... Nintendo should try this.
