About This Game

A Relaxing Story-Rich 2D Platformer based on T.C. Aeelah’s heartwarming book.

So it’s Simple! is a gentle 2D platformer inspired by T.C. Aeelah’s beloved children’s book, created especially for young players aged 6 to 10 — particularly for those taking their first steps into gaming. Designed with care, this game contains no violence, no combat, and no survival mechanics. It offers a safe, calming world where imagination, kindness, and curiosity lead the way.

🌊 About the Game

Step into a whimsical and magical world with Ivo, a quiet, curious boy. Alongside a playful fairy — who also happens to be a butterfly’s best friend — Ivo embarks on a journey of exploration, discovery, and helping others.

Ivo isn’t a typical hero. He doesn’t enjoy chewing food, and sometimes even small tasks feel big. But through simple moments — like collecting fruit, listening to waves, or following the breeze — he begins to discover his place in the world.
