Could use more freedom.

suese 2013-12-16 04:51

In communist Russia, there is no freedom!

suese 2013-12-16 04:52

The game actually has 100% freedom. You can walk where-ever you want!

blupsy 2013-12-16 05:57

That was pretty great. It just had a great feel to it and I certainly got a kick out of it.

flatgub 2013-12-16 06:01

Really fun, but i noticed on my second play through the music only played in the right channel, not the left, so that was a little annoying, but the gameplay was solid and the idea was great. Also that poor hammer girl =(

Graphics are a bit choppy, and it was a bit hard to understand. But I got there in the end :) Very nice!

laaph 2013-12-16 06:21

Faster ways to dismiss dialog would be appreciated. Awesome puzzle/shooter.

suese 2013-12-16 06:46

ENDESGA: Perhaps your computer is running slow. There are over 100 frames on animation. Reboot and try again and re-rate it please.

y2bd 2013-12-16 06:54

Really clever and original game! Although I do agree that that while very funny, the dialog needs to be skip-able (especially if you die).

tacospice 2013-12-16 06:59

Cool graphics. Nice humor. The music is odd in that it's panned hard right, at least on my computer. It'd be nice if the dialogue bubbles could be insta-skipped so replays are less tedious. Shooting those guys is difficult :(

gravityscore 2013-12-16 07:46

Pretty cool. A bit confusing in the beginning, didn't realise you click on the person behind the counter.

crossbread 2013-12-16 10:58

Good feel, decent graphics, dialog gave me a few chuckles. :-) My only issue was the speed of the hammer. It was easy to get knocked out of range while waiting for it to swing. The bullet loot pretty much made up for it though.

suese 2013-12-16 11:16

CrossBread: Very much thanks for taking the time. You deserve a gold star for sticking with games for longer than 2 minutes. Not many here do that. Kudos and thank you again.

rahazan 2013-12-16 11:54

I loved it! Managed to finish it too ;).

steveschnepp 2013-12-16 12:06

I'm usually very bad at puzzles, so a little more directions would be nice, specially when struggling for a long time :-)

samh 2013-12-16 12:12

My computer doesn’t have a mouse wheel. Is there a way to bind the item selection to something else in addition to the mouse wheel?

suese 2013-12-16 12:21

SamH: Darn, you know I thought about it and just didn't get the time. It's not really very good with anything other than a mouse mouse. A track-pad would be tough to play with.

suese 2013-12-16 12:22

SamH: Try AutoHotkey

ysengrimm 2013-12-16 23:16

First thing I did with the pistol, shoot the other guy in the face -> game over. So much fun. Great work.

eatthepath 2013-12-17 01:42

Best use of the theme I've run into so far! My only real complaint about the game is that dialogue bubbles can extend off the screen and it feels like I might be missing some things as a result.

heroesgravedev 2013-12-17 03:22

A little bit glitchy, but quite good overall.

dmitrix 2013-12-17 04:05

ugggh, the dialouge!!!! Pretty cool other than that though. :)(

javicepa 2013-12-17 11:50

About your comment in my game: there is a way to win. read the comments for more info, i think u'll like it :)
Your game rocks! I love how you matched the theme :)

maple 2013-12-17 12:16

At first I was getting nowhere but after a few tries I realised that there was far more to the game than at first would seem! After getting the machine gun and 2nd cigarette I tried to kill everyone to the right but had to leg it for a while. Ran to my death, like running along the beach at sunset. Beautiful. Also the girl could have been more attractive and less brutal. I'm glad they didn't hook up. Also, you can use your gun during the convo with her and she will still trade it for the hammer. Good job.

cornedor 2013-12-17 19:27

Looks nice, buts it's very slow to play.

tobiasnl 2013-12-17 20:12

Haha nice, love the style

_zulli 2013-12-17 21:52

Cool game! The graphic style is great! :)
Cool and different idea and fun to play! Great job!


If you have time, rate my game too! I would really appreciate it! :)

psychomonster 2013-12-17 22:07

Haha that is awesome... cool idea... nice story... well created smoking animation :) I'm non smoker sice 4 month ^^

ganbaregames 2013-12-18 03:39

Cool idea, a little confusing.

halfire120 2013-12-18 08:50

Pretty darn awesome,gave me a few chuckles in places, very well thought through :)

lotusgame 2013-12-18 11:51

Very funny and moody :) Congrats for this great game !

linuus 2013-12-18 11:54

It'd been nice to be able to skip text!

brotherst 2013-12-18 12:12

Haha geeez, so fighting's pretty much useless huh? any special reward if you do actually manage to kill them all? :P Great game! Really funny, nice graphics, fits with the theme perfectly, and the combat was pretty good fun too.

diptoman 2013-12-18 12:54

Haha, great game! "Such friendly girl" xD I laughed so much at that lol. But anyways, couldn't finish it even after a lot of retries, always ran out of bullets and the hammer was useless against the pistols' impact that moves you away from the enemies. The cigarette even restored health though xD

Really had fun playing this!

miltage 2013-12-18 13:17

Comrade have 'e' on end, comrade. Game good, need more vodka. I see if take smoke cigarette while walk, man begin slide. Is funny.

shigor 2013-12-18 13:38

In Soviet Russia, Cigarette's smoke you!

I was looking forward for trying this ever since I've seen your smoking animation. Apart from the dialogue boxes which can't be skipped and take too much time, not much else to say but : I HATE YOU! I wanted to quit today, but after few minutes of being comrade player I'll just have to hit "save" button and then I'll go to buy more cigarettes :) (not that nicotinne starved and crazed by your game to actually get a gun and hunt other smokers in the streets :D)

rnlf 2013-12-18 14:58

Kрасивая игра, товарищ!

One of the few games I really played for more than about 15 minutes. Really sweet artstyle and a crazy story. I ran out of bullets very soon and then ran all the way to the end, dodging bullets. Maybe a way to kill another enemy with the hammer would be nice (they are just too fast and turn around immediately, give the player half a second time to hit them or so, maybe adding a bonus achievement for killing EVERYONE with the hammer).

I enjoyed this game, one of my favorites!

rnlf 2013-12-18 15:02

Oh. Bad encoding. That's supposed to read as "Krasivaya igra, tovarish!" in cyrillic. Just ignore ;-)

muciojadpl 2013-12-18 15:48

Funny idea, and pleasing for eyes graphics ;) I like it! :D

drludos 2013-12-18 16:17

Nice Game! I like how you used the theme, I love the graphics, music, and your crazy humor! :)

Like many others, I'd like to be able to skip dialogs, especially the tutorial ones, because each time you die it's sooo long to be able to play again... But very good game overall!

shaunlebron 2013-12-18 18:13

Very funny idea and very fun game. Really enjoyed it.

xhunterko 2013-12-18 18:57

Very good use of the theme. (yes, you can manage to kill enemies with the hammer, you just have to be lucky or time it right)

ittlebit 2013-12-19 15:59

Thats was funny. I enjoyed playing it.

turna 2013-12-20 01:19

Love the art and story. Have problem with item scrolling on my trackpad :(

suese 2013-12-22 14:56

turnA: Yeah, it's probably not wise to judge games based on using a track-pad. Very few games are designed for the track-pad both LD and otherwise.

bradleysmith 2013-12-22 15:03

Really awesome. :)

steamgirl 2013-12-22 16:12

Very cool. The right kind of oppressive atmosphere, plenty of humour. I kept accidentally firing my one bullet... oops! Highly amusing. ^_^;

pavelzuk 2013-12-22 21:00

Haha this is hilarious! xD

tnerb 2013-12-22 22:34

Nice concept!

yosh 2013-12-22 23:41

Really a great game, but with two huge problems:
1) Mouse wheel to change items: I have a touchpad right now, it's super annoying and not precise.
2) Shooting bullets: There's a bug where the character seems to shot bullet at a random location, it's not convenient at all to kill all the bad guys :P

Apart from that, it was quite fun, well realized and it respects the theme!

I want to know how all of this ends!!

potomak 2013-12-23 00:26

Funny concept!

tchem 2013-12-23 02:34

Awesome!!!,, nice work.... fantastic theme and gameplay!!!

zerkruemler 2013-12-23 10:22

Nice idea, but strange controls. I didn't get too far. Sometimes I didn't really understood what the game wanted to tell me.

suese 2013-12-26 14:17

@Everyone using a touch-pad... Really? C'mon, you wouldn't say this about an First Person Shooter. Most modern PC games are NOT designed for a touch pad. So If you rate my game based on the fact that you don't have the hardware required then you are sin-incarnate. THANK YOU :)

somepx 2013-12-30 20:13

Really enjoyed this entry, a great job overall! :D

nelien 2013-12-31 00:03

I really enjoyed the game, particularly the mood. I did try it many times, but was not able to kill everyone, just kept missing with the hammer after running out of bullets. Really curious to see the ending, but retries are a bit painful due to inability to skip dialogue.

tanser 2014-01-01 20:34

Cool game, amazing! But my mouse wheel wasn't scrolled on the dialog so it was really hard for me to figure out what to do in the beginning. I think it was like that because when the game was loading i might have scrolled to see if there is more to the page. :) All in all i really like it! Well done. :)

serialvelocity 2014-01-01 20:41

Looks very well done, took me some time to figure out what I was doing but worked it out in the end. Great work :P

hardgrafter 2014-01-01 20:43

Loved it! Well done!

xanjos 2014-01-01 22:41

Hilariously fun game. Loved the fact that your character will literally do anything for more cigarettes (even murder his fellow comrade with a hammer).

stmatn 2014-01-02 15:23

Nice game!
I like the running animation:D
Now I need a cigarette :P
Great work!

xrm0 2014-01-03 12:32

I like the graphics

anvoz 2014-01-03 17:50

Nice graphics. I didn't really get what to do after I got a gun with one bullet. It would be better if the dialogue was skip-able.

bradleysmith 2014-01-04 19:51

Love the communist themes. Rated this very highly. :)

sean-noonan 2014-01-04 21:06

I didn't quite understand the goal, but I really liked the style :D
