TrailerScreenshotsAbout SockmanHis real name is Domin Dominguez, 64 years old plumber by profession. In the absence of one day to retire, Domin comes home from work with one idea in mind to relax in his place. But instead of fluffy and worked hollow his couch, Domin meets face to face with his destiny: a sock.
Sockman only jumps and moves left and right. Occasionally he talks, but usually never be. He can also dance and die a thousand different ways and heartbreaking. The truth is that no one has seen him dance, but say they probably will not do as well as die 200 times per minute, and with little practice.
Sockman not use weapons or mushrooms, or ocarinas, or bagpipes, or milk. Moreover, he does not like the nickname Sockman . Much less wear undies other people crammed into his head.
About meSockman has been in development for more than 4 years. For me it's like a hobby, something I've been doing in my spare time. I'm not a programmer or an artist, but I like to learn. There have been months where I have not been able to work in Sockman. But now I am determined to finish it. In fact, the only remaining section is music and minor details.
I've uploaded Sockman to Steam Greenlight. I would appreciate your vote and any criticism or suggestion. Thank you!
