I found a bug: I am unable to play Teak’s Tall Tale on the Linux version because Teak keeps veering to the right without input.
Firstly, I liked what little writing there was. The main character has both the desire to be with his friends but also a lingering resentment and disappointment as to how the world is changing and him with it, and it’s clear with his dialogue that these two things are at present in conflict with one another. I definitely want to see where this story is going.
But, the gameplay is extremely bland. The first stage has zero complexity besides run, jump, and shoot and the boss is way too easy and simple. I would overhaul the entire stage to reward exploration more and make use of the bubble gun upgrade for platforming .
Still, the writing got me hooked enough to deem this demo worthy. I can connect you with resources to help game development if you would like.
Huh?? That's a bizarre bug. Teak uses the same code as Garret, so there shouldn't be a difference. I'll definitely look into it!
I was a little nervous cutting the demo off at the end of the first level, since it's just meant to introduce new players to the basic mechanics. Garret learns new abilities through the rest of the game, so the later levels have more to them.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, though!
Oh, right, what Linux distro are you running? I'm in Mint.
