Great! I finish it, Cool game!

xgeovanni 2013-12-16 13:07

A bit short, but a nice game.

kyatric 2013-12-18 00:43

Pretty cool beat them up game.
The action is a bit "messy" though. I found myself mashing up the action buttons, without being sure if I was hitting the opponents or not.

Nevertheless cool graphics, nice cinematic/plot, well included in the game.
It was fun going through the compo and jam version.

Congratulations on making such a finished/polished game in 48/72h.

I like the graphics!! Feel the 1990's games :D

thewhitellama 2013-12-18 01:29

really nice game! Well done :)

pavelzuk 2013-12-18 04:38

Haha loved it!

i played all the way through. the combat wasn't very interesting but the overall production made up for it. really sweet for a 48 hour game. more people should check this out!

Top marks right here. I absolutely love River City Ransom so to see an homage to such a great game is overwhelmingly pleasant. Would love to see more of this.

Hehe, "Single Dragon". Funny game, though it's kinda hard to hit the enemies, as Kyatric said.

jezzamon 2013-12-18 04:44

Oops, I died.

This was awesome though. I loved the twist, made me laugh a lot. The music was cool too.

On your comment "flash is doomed", I think that right now flash is still the best platform for web games. HTML5 still has a lot of issues. Still your game worked well on my computer (using Chrome)

dcandle 2013-12-18 04:45

Good job!

I wasn't worried at all by the shortness of the game (it's a jam after all).

But i found it was lacking feedback on the hits during fight. So it was just like pressing button with no interest in it. Sounds and screen shakes would be cool (at least sounds...)

brighterorange 2013-12-18 04:47

I agree that it's still the best platform (at least for the desktop) but it's clear the support for it is waning, so I don't wanna get stuck. Outside IE, I actually feel pretty bullish about canvas and audiocontext recently. :)

Thanks for playing and for the comments everybody! I know the fighting is imperfect; that was one of the TODOs I didn't get around to. Ah, if only it were a 49 hour contest...

pkenney 2013-12-18 04:51

Wow, so much about this was just totally awesome... what polish! I played it through twice.

I did find punching guys in the face a little thin, though. Most fights ended up with me standing overlapping them, both of us whaling away not connecting. If I backed up to make my fist hit their face, though, I'd end up with my back to them very often and get hit.

The second time I beat the boss I got him stuck in the corner and he fell right into a kick lockdown.

An impressive game, though. You put a little more into the actual combat and you've got a fun micro-romp through nostalgia town.

well fleshed out. Fun story and environments. Controls feel a too loose for my tastes. I want to turn around immediately and also have whatever I press next override any button im currently holding down so i can switch left or right without moving my finger off the other direction. Hit boxes seemed to not work when I was inside of people had to constantly move out of their box to hit them. Great river city ransom graphics.

Love puns, loved this.

ghostinthesoft 2013-12-19 07:08

Great job, great graphic style, it's a pretty cool game.

drnick 2013-12-20 07:09

Very nice

shigor 2013-12-22 09:22

It reminds me good old 8bit renegade, complete with a bit clunky controls

2hitadam 2013-12-23 10:22

Pretty decent to see a beat-em-up with a full (if a little short) story and everything made in 48 hrs! Impressive, well done :D

diptoman 2013-12-24 06:49

Haha, short, but awesome! I loved the RiverCityRansom references xD
The cinematic was really cool.

gatechgrad 2013-12-24 08:22

Really cute game. The graphics and sound definitely reminded me old 8-bit beat'em-ups

somepx 2013-12-24 09:06

Very retro, a well made entry - really polished! Congrats

glovecat 2013-12-24 14:41

Great! I win! Short game but it's fun :)

vikingpotato 2013-12-24 16:24

I had great fun with this game.. would like to play a full game with this story :)

tijmentio 2013-12-24 16:41

Haha, that was really funny. And I liked that you spend more time on the audio!

wisegamer 2013-12-24 16:59

The audio of this game is awesome! I liked the boss fight the most :P

calciumtrice 2013-12-24 18:29

This was really great! Funny, played pretty well, looked and sounded perfect.

Excellent job.

shard123 2013-12-24 18:45

Great audio graphics and story, awesome work!

purefloat 2013-12-24 19:29

Great music, great art, and funny. Very good game, imo.

radmars 2013-12-26 05:16

Nice work on the music! (if you switch tabs it turns into a dirge!) Pretty fun but the controls are a bit clunky, seems impossible to do any 2 different things in quick succession. Love the reference to Escape Cod too!

mystakin 2013-12-28 03:04

A cool homage to River City Ransom! I enjoyed the light storyline elements most, but wish there was a stronger connection to the theme. The art's pretty cool too, especially in the ending scenes.

lotusgame 2014-01-01 11:49

Very cute retro game ! I love the story and the progression to the plot ! Huge work for a 48h entry ! It was a nice surprise :)

bernhard 2014-01-02 05:14

Was very entertaining and funny. And the amount of art and music created was quite astounding!

stmatn 2014-01-02 17:00

Awesome game! :D
I really like the old sckool flair of it.
The story is nice, but the game could have been a bit longer, since it was quite fun to play, but hey, for a jam-game the length is ok.
Great work! :)

ossah 2014-01-02 19:11

Loved the old school style. Took my back to my younger days.
Short but fun.

eskivor 2014-01-05 00:45

I thought at first view your enemies were your friends who follow you ^^

brighterorange 2014-01-05 02:10

Ha ha. Who says they're not?
