That was hard as all hell, if I played it right.

I like the looks of your entry! I have a lot of trouble playing it though - I'm not used to WASD directional to the mouse pointer. I'd really prefer W always moving upwards on the screen...

quarry 2012-12-17 05:10

I know the control scheme might be hard to use for some people but the normal N/W/S/E for WASD didn't feel right for the game

I am not able to download the fire with the provided mediafire link. Windows informs me that the archive is corrupt.

mscottmcbee 2012-12-17 05:31

MediaFire won't let me download your game.

crowbeak 2012-12-17 05:31

I can't download the file. Mediafire gave me the following message:

"The file you attempted to download is an archive that is damaged or possibly encrypted. MediaFire does not support unlimited downloads of broken or encrypted archives and the limit for this file has been reached. This file may only be distributed from a premium account."

Use dropbox

Extremely sorry about the inconvenience! Updated the link

parapup 2012-12-17 14:18

:) Very Interesting game.

quarry 2012-12-17 14:19

Thanks!

edocentrique 2012-12-17 14:21

It's really hard !

quarry 2012-12-17 14:23

I hoped that the description clarified that lol, a quick tip would be to try to predict the moves of citizens and them from a distance. You can also grab hold of briefcases, run and get some gear to make killings easier

Liked the graphics, but the game was extremely hard (or I missed something completely).

The game crashed once on me after I died and tried to shut down the game.

Dump here if you want to check it: http://146.255.37.150/puffi/random/hs_err_pid2832.log couldn't reproduce the crash.

Took a while to get used to the control scheme and weapon being unequipped every time it was reloaded.

Nice work none the less!

quarry 2012-12-17 14:36

I'd related that to your JVM installation

hardscore 2012-12-17 14:37

Its hard to control the player.

quarry 2012-12-17 14:47

I thought that this scheme was the best for a game that requires you to quickly dodge bullets, the classic udlr wasn't good enough

schnerble 2012-12-17 14:48

The controls are a bit confusing, with W going towards the mouse - and the keys are tricky when using a mouse left-handed (as I do). Looks like some interesting ideas, though; the shops give it a bit of variety.

deathbysnail 2012-12-17 14:49

Pretty hard game. Liked the visuals, the accuracy penalty when moving was pretty nice too.

quarry 2012-12-17 14:50

@schnerble I never thought of lefties, very sorry :d

@DBS I think that when you run and shoot, that's the realistic way to go

lorancou 2012-12-17 15:03

Nice minimalistic game. Love the graphics. A bit too hard for me, couldn't kill anybody! Ah and no restart key? Or dis I miss it?

Also next time if you use French for your title, try to also support AZERTY keyboards. It's just a matter of mapping Z to W and Q to A ;)

quarry 2012-12-17 15:10

I'm not even French, the guy you are playing is French. Everything criminal sounds better in French

zzforrest 2012-12-17 15:39

It didn't want to run, I don't know why. Sorry, couldn't play this awesome looking game.

quarry 2012-12-17 15:44

What was the problem? Did you extract both the jar and the natives?

logun 2012-12-17 15:46

On my computer, the window opened and closed instantly when I double clicked on the .jar :/

jomomomo 2012-12-17 15:47

Control scheme was a little off but nice graphics!

lorancou 2012-12-17 16:04

@Quarry if you say so! "Bien joué". Also: Solaris? Whoaah, this is some nice exotic OS support :P

quarry 2012-12-17 16:07

Well LWJGL natively supports it so it just "automagically" supports solaris

tuxedofish 2012-12-17 16:32

I liked the Display size it was different from most other games which gave it an orignal look. The graphics were good although there was not much sound which could have improved it further. It was also really hard and it didnt look like there was much way to improve.

zenmumbler 2012-12-17 17:34

Memories of Mission: Impossible for the NES! The controls, like in the NES game are hard to get used to and it's very hard. This perspective + control system isn't used very often, kudos for trying.

starspell 2012-12-17 18:19

Unfortunately I the game won't run if I double click on it. I've tried to run it from command line and I get an error:

org.lwjgl.LWJGLException: Pixel format not accelerated

I'll try it again later on a different computer

quarry 2012-12-17 18:25

That error is caused by your PS version not being high enough, afaik

loren 2012-12-17 19:58

hard, but fun game :) Pretty unique!

jmoraguiard 2012-12-18 07:19

The control scheme is difficult to master, but after a lot of tries :P I managed to get a little bit used to it and started what I would call, a bullet dance :D. It was my game that got nuts or every time you finish a bullet clip you have to click again E? Given the pace of game and that one may be already pressing S+A and Shift, it was difficult to change clips. Despite of that, I liked the game, it is really difficult! :)

by the way, is there sound? On my laptopt (windows 7) did not play :(

quarry 2012-12-18 14:06

I had some issues with OpenAL, otherwise there was music AND sound...

Also you have to press E again, I made it so that you actually couldn't just spam click to win

ointment 2012-12-19 07:36

There seems to be a graphical bug that prevents me from playing properly: http://i.imgur.com/pyKCy.png

If you have a solution, let me know, I'll check back because it looks like worth playing.
