In Brief:
Flying Umbrella is a 2d pixel art platforming game that features a girl holding an umbrella that moves with the wind. Learn to control her body using the WASD keys (these also affect the wind direction) and get to the bus before it leaves. However, before you can go to the bus you must collect all of the berries she dropped before you can catch the bus.

Catch it in time and you'll proceed to the next of thirty levels Though I couldn't see a countdown timer for the bus leaving, and every time i played the bus never left, so not sure if it does. Avoid the various traps and animals, but the only problem with the wooden crates are they get in the way as they fly around with the wind.

Once you've picked up all of the berries (indicated in the top left of the screen) , get to the bus as quickly as possible. Levels have different numbers of berries to pick up from four to six.

Each time you fail you start from the same level again; the only different being the indicator at the bottom right tells you how many times you've failed that level. It resets to 1 when you move on to the next level.

There are various weather effects such as rain and hurricanes that make it very difficult to succeed.
You can see a couple of videos of game play HERE and via the Steam page HERE.
Controls:

W & S or Up and Down arrow keys = Access the menus
Enter = Activate menu item
Esc = Return to main menu from Options
WASD = move the girl/ control the wind

While in options you can toggle full screen/windowed, language from English to Russian and toggle both the music and sound on and off. While in a level you can return to the main menu via a resume/restart screen by pressing Escape then selecting the correct item in the menu e.g. Options. Main Menu, Restart & Resume. Use the enter key to activate all menu items.

The game has a very limited partial controller support, i.e. you can use the D-Pad to move up and down in each menu and activate a menu item by using the A button, but you cannot return to the previous menu without using the keyboards Esc key. that's the extent of the controllers use with this game. Pity as I think it would have made the game slightly easier to play.
D Pad = Up and down
A = Enter menu item (however you cannot return to the main menu when in options; you have to press the keyboard Escape key)
Conclusion:
Flying Umbrella is actually quite challenging. With the gusts of wind and hurricane weather, it's almost impossible to avoid some of the flying debris. I love the art style and will be keeping this one. I failed miserably in the time I had to check this out, but enjoyed the challenge. One of the positives for this game is that is supports a controller and keyboard controls. There are two negatives to this game, the firs tone is the appalling music, but thankfully it can be toggled off. The second negative however is more serious. Whenever you leave the game it does not save your progress, instead you have to start from level one again. Whether anyone will be able to get to level 30, I don't know, but I failed miserably. It took me nine attempts just to get past level 2.

The game would be much improved if the developer included the ability to create profiles, making it more family and friends friendly as well as a save function so that you don't have to constantly go back to the beginning every time you play the game. Even though I enjoyed the game play, it's basically very simple with only a few key bindings to remember, I doubt I'll ever totally complete it, but you never know. :)

You can also buy this on Steam HERE. It's usually 90% off when on sale making it worth getting when the Christmas sale is on as it will only cost you £0.39 and will go part way towards supporting the developer. The Steam Christmas sale starts on the 22nd December and no doubt other big name distributors like Origin, GreenMan Gaming, Ubisoft, Gamers Gate and Good Old Games will be following suit, so get those wallets and purses open soon to pick up lots of bargains.
Notes on Security
I scanned a zipped copy of the installed game using Virus Total and it found zero hits from 62 antimalware engines. You can see the installed games scan HERE

Whiterabbit-uk,

Its been several months since I stopped posting links to various game deals and freebies. I happened to get an email from Indie Gala this morning so visited for the first time in a while and noted a few decent freebies I'd missed. You can find them HERE.

Delenn updated the two threads for Steam and Non Steam freebies over in the game discussion forums HERE (non Steam) and HERE (Steam).

I've not been very active over in the forums recently, but hope to continue posting details and links to decent games in the new section I created earlier this year called The free game Project, a continuation of a project I started back in 2008 called Good Games To Grab. You can find the new section HERE . I aim to add more decent free games, but it's time consuming, so far I've posted the following. Most are from Abandonware sites, so it's possible you may require the DOSBox emulator, but not all:

Ricochet Breakout franchise, In the name of Freedom, (3D Platformer), Breakquest (Breakout), Open TTD (Tycoon game), Slam Tilt (Pinball), Cabela's Big Game Hunder 2006 Trophy Season (First Person Shooter), Conflict Vietnam (Third Person Squad based Shooter), Castelvania The Lecarde Chronicles (fan made game), 3D Ultra Pinball: Creep Night (Pinball), Messy Paths (arcade), Battlegroup 44 (free standing Battlefield 2 mod), Hidden & Dangerous Deluxe (Squad Based shooter)

The latest Epic Game freebies include Saints Row IV Re-Elected a Grand Theft Auto esque game but more comedic and Wildcat Gun Machine, a bullet hell dungeon crawler where you take on hordes of disgusting flesh beasts with a wide variety of guns, giant mech robots, and cute kittens. Delenn will probably have linked to them over in the forums.

Today is a cute little arcade / physics type of game where the object in each level is to control a little girl with an umbrella. Game has a unique way with physics which interacts with the girl with the umbrella.

If you're not quick to complete the objective carefully without hitting a hazard the game is over with. You can actually consider the first level a safe / training level to help you get the hang of things. Because starting with the second things get harder. I'm still trying to pass level 2 myself and found myself losing control of the girl.

You're going to be pulling a lot of hair out figuring out what strategy works best to collect the berries and so forth.

I found it amusing in this game that the game actually tracks the number of keystrokes you've pressed while in a level when it's completed. Also you're unable to replay any of the levels you've cleared.

This game does have a unique factor to it though so I will give it credit for that. And it's challenging as well. It can use improved - simplified controls but that's what probably give it it's degree of difficulty.

A must checkout for today.
