Owyn's Adventure is a charming, nostalgic reminder of the classic era of platform games. It's so nicely put together with all the small details and a heartwarming story showing how much effort went into making the game. Love it, give it a try!
I still can't find the last train piece, but I know it's out there .. *launches game again*

A short but sweet platformer with very light puzzle elements, [i]Owyn's Adventure[/i] took me half an hour to finish (although it would've been less than that if I'd been more careful). It's not particularly complex nor challenging, but the charming Game Boy aesthetic and upbeat chiptune make it enjoyable throughout.

A really fun but awfully short puzzle platformer. The difficulty level was just right for me as I'm not a fan of difficult games. I definitely recommend getting this game. It has all the elements of an old school platformer. All that green is a little off putting though. The colors are just boring. Looking forward to a sequel with more colors, more baddies, more bosses, more weapons, more secrets, more puzzles and far more levels.

Fun little time killer really nicely delivered in green and black a la gameboy style. It will only take you 30 minutes to play through if you're not an achievement hunter but it will leave you wanting more in this style. Thoroughly enjoyable little game!

A mini-adventure, but worth the $2. Not perfect, but an enjoyable little retro platformer. Great soudtrack.
Some minor complaints:
- default keys are not great, and no way to rebind
- character can get floaty when running fast on slopes, and you can't jump if you aren't on the ground, which can cause some frustration at places

Fun little platformer that harkens back to the GameBoy both in style and soundtrack. A nice and simple, albeit short, experience that I'd recommend to anyone hoping for a quick blast to the past.

Firstly I will say that I have played this game before on a different PC, using a different Steam account so ignore the fact that I have 0.1 hours on record. This game is superb! Gaz put a ton of effort and love into this game and it shows. The game harkens back to the Game Boy classics of yore like Super Mario Land 2 and Wario Land. You will certainly get a big nostalgia hit when playing this game. The gameplay, level design, music and graphics are all top notch. The game is quite short but that just makes you want to play the sequel, Betty Boost: Owyn's Adventure Too even more. 9 out of 10.

What a fun little jaunt! If you are moderately patient, and have some experience with platformers, it shouldn't take more than an hour to beat this game and collect all of the achievements. I could have played another 5 levels of that! Worth the price, and worth supporting a good dev. Please make more of this!

Super-short and pleasant platformer. While it was fun enough for my pre-work Morning Tea Series -- its simplicity, in fact, was perfect for it -- [i]Owyn's[/i] roughness discourages me from going back for all achievements. This is something I usually do with nano-length games.
I have a few criticisms, but only to help the developer of this very new game; I'm sure these are things that can be easily fixed. The way the screen creeps to re-center Owyn after he stops moving is a little disconcerting. Doors should not be one-way only. Jumping is unresponsive on slopes.
But . . . two bucks? Nice for the price. No regrets here.

Owyn's Adventure has a charming Gameboy-esque aesthetic, and some clever puzzles that develop from simple block placement to a more thoughtful consideration of interactions as the game progresses. If you like fun platformers that won't suck hours of your time, give it a try.
