David.

Indie· Action· 2D Platformer· Time Manipulation

Released Feb 2015

You play David, an awfully small abstracted chosen hero tossed into a blissfully simple world overrun by giant culminations of evil physics-beasts. As David, you are given a slingshot-esque gift that you will have to use to conquer your colossus foes. Be there AND be square.

Evaluation

David. launched on February 16, 2015 as a self-contained package with a fixed set of content: a 9-level campaign, 3 additional levels, a survival/arena/RPG mode, a secret minigame, hats, and a bundled 6-song EP soundtrack. The store description lists a complete, enumerated feature set with no mention of future updates or additional content. Of the 34 developer news posts scanned for this game, none contain bug fixes, feature patches, roadmaps, or any statement about future development. The one relevant post — from December 11, 2025 — is an announcement that the same solo developer (Andrew Armstrong of Fermenter Games) launched a separate, new game called *Baseless*. This confirms the developer is still active and creating, but is focused on a different title entirely, not on further development of David. The game shipped as a finished product in 2015, received no post-launch content cycle, and the developer has made no indication of any plans to expand or update it. David. is complete as originally released.

About this game

Summary

David is a game. A game about physics and enemies. A game about struggles and life. A game about David.

This game is designed to be difficult. I poured myself into developing this game for nights and nights and nights. It's almost tough to share. I hope it feels strangely personal.
