The game crashed a few times right after I got the first two hipsters and stepped out the door.

I don't much enjoy the dialogue, but the graphics are very nice!

mystify 2013-04-30 01:33

the dialogue skipped forward too quickly. Nice unique take on the theme

reverso13 2013-04-30 01:39

I have uploaded a zip with the game. It works better if you download it :)

ddionisio 2013-04-30 01:41

Hm, I didn't know there's such a term as "minimalist hipster" #TIL #LD48 #YOLO

I agree that the dialog runs too fast. I love how the screen shakes as the axe hits the ground, really gives that heavy impact feel.

haslettj 2013-04-30 01:41

Interesting take on the theme.

The dialog was a bit vulgar for the competition. I could see some folks being offended.

smilingcat 2013-04-30 02:03

This was a lot of fun, one of the most fun I've played so far. It had some good laughs.

As for the complaints about the dialog, maybe replacing the offending words with viking words that start with the same letter?

kingtharg 2013-04-30 02:05

Entertaining subversion of the theme, I like it. Gameplay itself felt satisfying, if not a little floaty. I felt like an angry viking would feel a bit more heavy.
All in all great fun though.

reverso13 2013-04-30 02:08

Thanks for the comments.
There was no intention to offend anybody with the dialogs, I'm sorry if that happened. As english is not my main language I didnt realize how bad it sounds. I will try to delete the last part somehow ;)

jwolf 2013-04-30 02:15

Hmm...I can see where some of the other commenters are coming from, but the game promised vikings, blood, and skulls, and it did deliver...overall, it was pretty fun and a well put-together entry!

reverso13 2013-04-30 02:17

Ok I uploaded a new version "clean version". I hope you enjoy it :)

pinothefrog 2013-04-30 02:17

Nice graphics, love the rotating door.

dalbinblue 2013-04-30 02:55

That was needlessly violent, and funny. Attacking didn't seem to work half the time when I jumped which was a little frustrating. Happened most often right at the apex of a jump (when trying to attack the door). As the ground raised up it got a lot easier.

gertjohnny 2013-04-30 06:05

I must be cursed by the random number generator. Twice in a row I got a level with an impossible first jump.

aquilicoco 2013-04-30 09:39

It's nice. I like the graphics too.

keyboardthrashingfactory 2013-04-30 11:14

Loved the humor, I thought for a second we were going to play the hipsters but to my delight we get to kill them!

dsoft20 2013-04-30 11:21

Nice game

cinnamonmelonpig 2013-04-30 12:04

Tried two times but it crashed both times after stepping out of the first door. I really like the art and music regardless

mrvanderpants 2013-04-30 12:11

I really enjoyd hitting those hipsters, this game is quite addictive.

reverso13 2013-04-30 12:22

@cinnamonmelonpig
If it fails try to download it from the link. That version works ;)
It has something to do with the website is hosted in I guess..

GreyShock 2013-04-30 14:46

Ahi, reventando la puerta de Doraemon :D Esta gracioso el concepto y el rollete de usar las colinas para pegarle al portal!

Lo que mas me ha gustado es la musica :)

juaxix 2013-04-30 16:03

Está muy chulo, es como mezclar el Lost Vikings con Day of the tentacle y alex kidd en uno jaja, espero que lo amplíes y le metas más cosas! :)

minionstudios 2013-04-30 16:30

Odin is a minimalist hipster! Odin is pissed off!

Loved it! Great work, love the music & the style. Axing hippies ftw.

badger 2013-04-30 16:34

fun game

geoege 2013-04-30 16:36

Ah ! Nice game.
The gameplay is a bit simple but it works pretty well.
The dialog goes to fast for reading them, sad :(.

mrshoestore 2013-04-30 22:37

Here I was thinking our game would be the only one with a hipster in it :) I dig it!

vandriver 2013-05-01 00:53

the game was a bit glitchy, but i adored the graphics and good god, the music is so very good. that is some chunky retro badassery. mr. garcia is a talented motherfucker

namuol 2013-05-01 13:42

GREAT MUSIC!

Obviously, this is a crowd-pleaser, but I felt that the RAGE could have felt more RAGEy -- I need air-dash and power-slams!

Still, hard not to like.

bytegrove 2013-05-01 13:49

Hahaha, awesome! The movement felt a little weird though imo, maybe try turning up the acceleration, air resistance and friction? Otherwise a fun and cheeky game, nice use of the theme!

dohan 2013-05-01 14:19

Being a viking and killing minimalist hipsters with an axe... It's impossible to dislike it!

greenpixeldev 2013-05-01 14:32

NIce job! Very satisfying to take an axe to a bunch of hipsters ;D Great art style and it made me chuckle!

lotusgame 2013-05-01 15:30

I adore the narratives and enjoyed the game, well executed. Very funny :)

chowdy 2013-05-01 21:07

Great humor and graphics. I had a lot of fun choppin' hipsters. Great job!!

cwilloughby 2013-05-02 04:57

Haha, super cool. Liked the theme and totally wasn't expecting the gameplay. Great work!

donan 2013-05-02 10:47

Hahahahaha. Awesome game. Nice graphics, good humor and really fun to play :)

adipson 2013-05-02 15:50

Very fun...There's something in the sound from Golden Axe game now ? (kick and the cry) lol

reverso13 2013-05-02 19:38

Thanks everyone for the ratings :)
@Adipson nop the sounds are from movies not from games :P

rafaelsales 2013-05-02 20:44

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA... I understand you dude. I know a lot of Minimalist Hipsters. Congratz!

meta87 2013-05-03 00:48

One of the funniest games I've played :D The controls are good too, love the hipster dude

neonlare 2013-05-03 11:44

Was a bit of fun for a while, felt like it needed more tie to the theme and the dialogue was a bit too fast and jarring for my tastes, but it's something that's more personal methinks. Do love the animation style, it certainly has a cartoony, not serious vibe to it! I dig it :).

dmitrix 2013-05-05 00:16

lol, hipsters. XD It's a little gory though...

johnnysix 2013-05-05 01:35

Bonus points for humour - the 8-bit style sounds were nice. I thought the hipsters would fight back - maybe if you work on it post-jam - hipsters could hurl projectile coffee or moustaches.

0beah 2013-05-05 02:37

Quite funny. A bit too much on the dialogue. The loss screen gave me a chuckle "Oden became a hipster".

daniel2357 2013-05-05 16:07

Nice game . in my opinion it needs more gameplay- or i did'nt the part where it changes .

stevejohnson 2013-05-05 22:32

Die, minimalist scum! Love the scream sounds.

gatechgrad 2013-05-05 23:55

Nice artwork and music. Took a minute to figure out that I was supposed to be attacking the door. Great sense of humor on this one, and the first cross between hipsters and vikings that I've seen.

phocker 2013-05-06 04:07

well that was different -- intersting take on the theme -- good effort.

wisegamer 2013-05-06 15:53

Very funny game. Y U NO LOVE MINIMALISM ART?! Just kidding. Nice game!

reverso13 2013-05-06 16:46

thanks for the comments guys :D

caukamp 2013-05-06 20:54

Great

brookman 2013-05-07 12:22

Very funny theme you got for your game... After destroying the door some times it gets pretty dull, but the art style and humour makes mi smirk ;) the background music is very cool

tiago-ling 2013-05-07 12:45

Craziest game idea so far! Cool and fun game, except a little short.

Very nice pixel art, congratulations!

robotality 2013-05-08 06:08

Music and sfx are awesome and the game looks like alot of fun. At one point after the house level in the begining flash crashed because of the game.

matthias_zarzecki 2013-05-08 19:09

Ha, this has the best name yet. The intro is also great, I luaghed when they hung up the painting :D

lightnarcissus 2013-05-11 16:42

I love all the hipster-bashing games people are making this LD. Each one of them is more hilarious than the other. :D

davidpeter 2013-05-19 17:58

It froze for a couple seconds during the same time the other commenters were complaining about. Not sure what that's about. Overall, entertaining game!

hgouveia 2013-05-20 13:34

Nice nice!, love the art!, i was able to "kill" the portal around 500m !

turbodindon 2013-05-20 18:34

Mwahahah, very fun.
I destroyed the hipsters door!!
