Howard's Loss is a small platforming adventure in which the protagonist, Howard, finds himself in an eerie nighttime neighborhood after losing his key - and more importantly, activating the street lamp so he can see it in the dark.
The environment is full of unexpected twists: switches that reverse gravity, teleporters that change your location in the level, and spikes that try to thwart your every move.
Right from the start, the game invites you to use the arrow keys or the WASD keys to move, jump and solve the challenges of each level. The goal seems simple - activate the bluff and then find the key - but each stage introduces new mechanics that require you to think before you act. Constant alterations to the environment (such as gravity changes) lend a creative flair to the exploration and challenge.
Although essentially a short and simple game, Howard's Loss offers an experience that mixes the light tension of platforming with the satisfaction of solving small space puzzles. If you like quick challenges that combine movement, timing and observation of the environment, this game can be an entertaining choice.
