Stanley - The Search for Dr. Livingston

Screenshots1 / 2

A side-scrolling platformer scene shows a character in blue clothing standing on a wooden platform against a bright blue background. A gray industrial structure with metal grating and stairs dominates the upper portion. Another character figure appears on the elevated platform, and wooden crates and a rope are visible near the structure's base. A gold heart icon floats in the upper left corner. The scene sits above a lower level with brown wooden pillars supporting the main platform, creating a multi-tiered level layout rendered in 8-bit sprite graphics.
