Learn Runner by gustavo.christino
"Tobias, quit this dictionary! When you talk to someone in real life you do not have time to look at the dictionary! You have to run with the words!!"
Tobias is a young Geography graduate, who has to travel the world to enhance his exploration experience.
Because he had no idiomatic knowledge, he would face many problems...
So he hires the best teacher in town to overcome this challenge.
After the first lesson (which ends with the sentences quoted above), with his head full of information, still in the library, he decides to sleep.
He naps in the library, near the bookshelf...
Then the dictionary falls on his head...
And in his delirium...

It's a bit difficult to tell wich item is which at first. I liked the voices included.
Player movement could need some polish. Sideways movement felt random. The genres mix was well implemented.
Good work!
Come and try mine!
