Being classically trained I was and am a huge fan of the NES game Kid Icarus! I was pleasantly not surprised to learn that the Director of Owlboy, Simon Stafsnes Andersen, was inspired to make Owlboy 2-D when he heard rumors of an upcoming Kid Icarus series; After giving how a 3-D flying game might actually play like some thought, he decided it would still work much better as a 2-D. He reversed the mechanics on the Super Mario Bros. 3 Tanooki Suit, found an amazing to team to work with in 2007 and a decade later Owlboy was born!
