Willy and Mathilda's Houseboat Adventure: The Game
About
Follow Willy and Mathilda on their neo-retro houseboat adventure! Through a series of mini-games interwoven with the original book narrated by its author, discover the imaginative world of the two traveling neighbours and the friends they meet along the way.
Features include:
- 10 minigames covering 6 genres (educational, side-scroller, anti-beat-em-up, trampoline simulator, puzzle, and hidden object)
- Beautiful and unique cut-out animation and artwork derived from the book by Michael Torreiter, displayed in HD (1080p) glory
- A gorgeous soundtrack of original compositions by Jennifer Field, Ashton Mills, and Dustin van Wyk
- The charming original story narrated (with subtitles) by Michael Torreiter
- Authentic voices from Willy and Mathilda themselves throughout the game
- Replayability through each minigame having pre-set difficulty levels and/or Play What You Can mode, where you play as long as you feel like for points
- Even more replayability from a meta-game of strategic character stat improvements
- A celebratory stickerbook / painting activity, unlocked when you finish the game
- A delightfully quirky announcer who optionally reads all on-screen instructions and buttons for you
