Storm Boy, at barely 30 minutes of playtime, turned out to be the shortest game I've ever reviewed on here - which is why this review will be a little shorter than usual, too. It was a heartfelt story that definitely moved me. Throughout Storm Boy's journey there's a lot of fun adventures, but also sadness and loss. You can just have a good time aiming and throwing right into their mouths. For example, there's one where you're throwing fish into the 3 pelicans' mouths to feed them, but you don't need to feed all of them equally or any amount of times.
Most of these mini games are just entertaining, but don't ask you to do anything specific. His adventures with the pelicans and on the beach are told through optional mini-games you can do along the way. He nurses them back to health and they become Storm Boy's friends. One day, he stumbles upon a ruined nest with 3 baby pelicans. Storm Boy spends a lot of time outside, interacting with animals. Storm Boy tells the story of the titular young boy, who lives by the beach with his dad Hide-Away Tom. Although you control the character through this game in a sort of 2.5D environment, the story is narrated much like a book would be, rather than using the typical dialogue format a game would use. The idea of a book adapted into a game seemed like such an interesting idea to me right away, which is part of what drew me to the game.
The complete title for this game is Colin Thiele's Storm Boy - The Game, as Storm Boy is originally a children's book by Australian author Colin Thiele.
