Each level would've linked to a season and the completion of each level would've help the man sort his memories of his family and deal with his loss. The title \"The Man who Never Came Back\" alludes to the mans journey, and his change of life perspective. That is, how he changed when his family died.\r\n\r\nAll in all, I look forward to future Ludum Dares and that I will have more time for content generation and that I will complete an entire game!\r\n\r\n\r\nControls:\r\nMovement - arrow keys\r\nJump - Space or uparrow","title":"The Man who Never Came Back"}
