Top Platform Action Adventure Game - When I Was Young
Guide a Benjamin Button-like platform hero through an obstacle and baddie-filled environment, increasing your jumping skills and movement as your character grows younger and younger! When I Was Young is a fun and challenging, jumping-based, platform adventure game where you must increase your acrobatic prowess by reducing the age of your protagonist as you progress. Beginning the game as a respectable elderly gentleman, you must leap on the ledges and explore through the walls of a grassy, multi-scene environment, avoiding danger and picking up special artifacts that magically transform your hero into a younger man as you progress.
Skills required: This light-hearted action / arcade game requires fast reactions, sharp observation skills, smart anticipation skills, and a sense of curiosity (You must guide your character through an unusual, free-roam maze environment where he can advance through all four walls of each scene). As your hero increases his jumping skillset with each age decrease, you must show that you are able to adapt to your character's new-found abilities.
How to Play: A Flash-based, jumping / platform adventure game for notebook, laptop and desktop PC / Mac (with certain browsers). Your ultimate goal is to find the ‘Grandfather Clock’ artifact which is situated at the end of the multi-scene maze. You begin the game as an old man with a walking stick, and must find special items as you progress which reduce your character’s age, and increase his jumping abilities.
Control your hero's movement with the Arrow Keys or the WASD Keys on your computer keyboard (Press Spacebar, W, or Up Arrow to jump). Your hero can advance through the ‘walls’ of each scene – this means you can move through the left or right walls, jump down through the bottom of the play area, or reach new ‘scenes’ by moving through the top of the game screen. Each time you come into contact with a bad guy clock or spiked obstacles, you re-spawn at the last Checkpoint (Blue Flag) you passed through.
