Game Description

An Untitled Story is the long-awaited platform game by Game Maker developer YMM. It’s almost impossible not to compare this game to Knytt and Seiklus, since it shares a lot of visual, thematic, and gameplay ideas with those classic games.

Briefly put, this is one of my favorite games of all time. Indie or commercial, it doesn’t matter. Very few other games have encapsulated the childlike joy of exploration so perfectly, and no others that I know of have been so HUGE about it. This is an enormous game. Unlockables and collectibles are everywhere. The levels are fantastic, whimsical and varied. The graphics, as you can see, are very stylish and fun… I guess some people dislike them, but I find them charming. Which is really the word to describe this game as a whole – charming.

The gameplay has some of the hardcore platforming element that makes YMM’s Jumper games (the first two anyway) unappealing for me, but it’s a smaller dose and it’s combined with a lot of other, gentler things. I like the subtlety and the simplicity of the storyline very greatly… I only wish for a somewhat more fulfilling ending sequence. Even though it is MIDI, I also like the music quite a lot, with the exception of a couple tracks – but there are so many in the game that overall it’s quite a good percentage.

I also really enjoy the hotseat multiplayer in spite of its sometimes screwy controls (both players are on the keyboard) – though that’s just icing on the cake.

All this to say, download it. I can’t imagine that you will be sorry.
