Yes, I see the similarities.

It's probably not surprising that the game doesn't start on Windows XP.
I might try it on Linux as well. (with Wine)

This is actually a HTML5 game, but according to a comment here, the author bundles it with a certain browser engine, because the scrolling is not smooth in all browsers.
Although it's possible to extract the game's files, all the JavaScript is compiled to bytecode, so I can't try it in a different browser. Go figure.

From the video I see the graphics is 3D, the gameplay is 2D, but there are a few places where you can turn 90°.
I think this is called 2.5D.

The jumping looks quite unnatural, and he just walks in the water as if it was air. :)
The author refers to this as "he still does not know how to jump and to swim".

It does start, but I couldn't get further than the loading screen.
At least it could reach 100% (after a few minutes of waiting).

50%:

UPDATE:
If I set "Lights" and "Graphics quality" to their minimums, then the loading finishes much faster.
But then the game crashes. Here is what it writes to the console:

UPDATE:
I tried to start the game a couple more times, but this time it didn't even crash!
It just got stuck on the loading screen at 100%.
Weird.


BTW, I found something interesting on the author's site.
Click "More games". Can you guess what's that in the bottom right corner with the dice and the cards? :)

Hi!
I am a developer of "Percy Lancaster 3D".
I have not yet tested my game for browsers in Linux, iOs, MacOs and Android. But I'm going do it later. And now I am focused on the Windows version.
The build is updated. I have worked on character's movement and game quests. Alsow the demo is abaliable in Steam. But I still have troubles with graphics and skeletal animation, because I'm a programmer and not a modeler...
I will be happy to answer questions and receive suggestions.

Once released, if it's not too expensive, I'll pick it up. :)

Thanks for your posts on this forum.

Thank you. I plan to set price $2 or $3.
But before I'm going to start crowdfunding for 2-3 months and then to find a modeler to rebuild levels and characters.
