Game Play

Mock Screenshots

Strategies and Motivati0ns Maintain enough health and ammunition (feathers) to defeat the boss

at the end. A German bunker housing Adolf Hitler.

Motivation This game is 100% goofy and is meant for every aspect to be funny. The idea

is that the player will want to keep playing just to see what happens next.

Level Summary / Story Progression Story progression

The introduction plays across several screens where Feathers relives his past as he travels through his life’s story. When the introduction ends Feathers is placed behind the German front-lines.

Level Summary There are many different objects in the game Feathers can interact with. If

you want to win the game you must follow the rules. Houses hold pillows that hold feathers for Feathers to collect. Nazis will be running across the levels and you will be forced to deal with them. In the final level you must use a cannon to take out Hitler’s bunker.
