tooth fairy's clues within the game
A cute hand-drawn retro platformer for big kids about a lonely tooth who has to save the tooth fairy from the evil King Caries and find out a horrible truth!
This game is that dream of solo developers, to make, release a game on their own onto Steam and believe they can succeed(they usually don't).
A fantastic ride, but, also a tough hard learning of the truth of being a yet another platformer creator. However, I am proud of having tried my very best at it, so go buy and play the game, if you dare!
The soundtrack is, as one youtuber put it:
"what an amazing soundtrack for a crappy game"
Are you willing to find out just how crappy it is?
A retro platformer inspired by platformers of old!
