Owlboy Returns, This Time With Game Footage
Hey, it's Owlboy! We met him in September. If you don't remember, he looked great. In this, our first look at gameplay footage for the indie platformer, he still looks great.
Meet Owlboy. He Looks Great.

Owl Boy is a 2D platforming adventure for the Xbox 360 and Windows PCs. Go with Otus on a free flying quest into the clouds and discover the secrets of the floating islands while preserving the Owls' integrity...
Pretty much sums it…
