After nearly 7 years of development, Animal Well is finally almost ready to be released out into the world. I have made this trailer to commemorate the occasion. I hope you like it. I don't really know what else to say.

I finally got a chance to play some Animal Well, and it is delightful! I know I am very late to the party, but I just wanted to mention how much it recaptured the feeling I used to get playing a great 1980s home computer game. Probably because games in general were a novel experience back then, some of them managed to achieve this feeling where it seemed like something new was happening on every screen - something that was unique, not just an instance of something you've already seen, but with different stats, etc. I'm sure few people will remember these games, but for platformers I'm thinking of things like Miner 2049er and Jumpman, etc. You were always excited to get to a new screen, and figure out what the new elements were and how to interact with them. Animal Well totally nailed that, and then some. Based on things I've heard about the game, I'm guessing the next 6 achievements are going to be a lot harder to come by then the first 14 :)
