In my opinion you’d be better off reading the book, or at least seeing the movie. Otherwise there are no technical issues.Īs an adaptation I don’t feel it is worthwhile. Some of the quotes are hard to read as they’ll appear over some scrub. It takes only twenty minutes to play through making it just a bit shorter than the actual story. The game-play consists only of walking across and pointless mini-games. While descriptive lines weren’t needed when making it a video game, the appearance and design doesn’t convey the area nearly as well as the book does. It is simplistic and takes place entirely within a couple spots. Graphically it’s not bad but I’m not very impressed. Only one appears in the story and there is an option to skip it. These are non-essential and have no real end. Such as collecting cockles, swimming or playing fetch with Mr Percival. Walking past certain points an icon will appear allowing you to play a mini-game.

You can only move along left to right which causes more lines to appear. The game follows the story with lines from the book being displayed as you walk across the coast. The book has a point wherein some people mention Storm Boy needing to go to school and it isn’t brought up at all in the game. The game follows the rest of the events of the book, only showing certain lines. You control our titular 'Storm Boy' as we make him run right and right and right and then youll run into a very basic mini-game (Most are optional as well) and then right and right and right again.

When it’s time to bring them back to the sanctuary Mr Percival flies back and stays by his friend’s side from then on. The weakest of which is named Mr Percival. One day Storm Boy finds three orphaned baby pelicans and takes them home. There is a sanctuary a short ways from where they live although many people hunt and trample there. Storm Boy lives with his father Hide-Away in a humpy around the Coorong, they have a neighbour called Finger-bone Bill. The game releases on the e-shop on the 20th of November. The game is release to coincide with New Holland Publishers’ 55th Anniversary edition of the book to go with the upcoming Storm Boy film. Storm Boy: The Game is a video game adaptation of Colin Thiele’s book Storm Boy and takes place on the beaches of South Australia near the mouth of the Murray River.
