Wow. Can't but love a fat Squary Bass;

kraln 2014-12-08 03:35

I don't quite get it, but I don't have to -- it's fun!

legacycrono 2014-12-08 03:54

This is a fun idea, I like it! Too bad it's so short :P

drtizzle 2014-12-08 04:31

I don't know why i'm dying, but it looks and sounds great!

salmonmoose 2014-12-08 04:37

I'm not sure what's happening, or how I really contribute to the outcome?

sharp911 2014-12-08 04:40

Dont quite get it. But looks cool. However, using your mouse for everything except for choosing your char is a little confusing.

theunderminor 2014-12-08 04:44

The humor is just my type, kind of reminds me of an old game concept i made. It's not only well made with consistent quality, you could actually call this completed. Of course there is always things you can improve on or add etc. but it looks way past the minimum viable product. So kudos to you!

newt_ 2014-12-08 04:45

Not sure what just happened, but I liked it!

madmaw 2014-12-08 04:46

Love the background music, very .... punchy. Very difficult to say, win in a deterministic way, but maybe that's the point. Is this game a metaphor for something or did I not work out the controls?

nuclearnapalm 2014-12-08 05:02

Point & click 4P brawler??? I'm in!!!
Great idea, great implementation! Congratz!

thommy 2014-12-08 05:12

So much juice!

groydis 2014-12-08 05:15

I got punched by a bunch of youths once. I'd go in to more detail but it's kind of sad.

This game has it all, old people, young people, banging beats. Well Done!

mactinite 2014-12-08 06:00

Gotta love that those thug tunes!

ratking 2014-12-08 08:56

"Sos, bekannter und beliebter polnischer Spieleautor, hat auch in diesem Spiel wieder eigene traumatische Erfahrungen verarbeitet. Ein treibender Bass und niedliche Kulleraugenoptik sind effektvoll in Kontrast gesetzt und geben dem ganzen eine feinsinnige ironische Note."

Uhm, what I really wanted to say: awesome as ever! :-P

namide 2014-12-08 11:24

Cool game with fun animations

rzuf 2014-12-08 11:36

ahAHAhahAh love it! Random fun!

franklins-ghost 2014-12-08 11:54

That title is great, really lets you know what type of game you're getting into. Fun to see the mayhem but sadly I kept losing my money. Can't believe you made it all in 10hrs, quite a feat.

gamepopper 2014-12-08 12:26

Hilarious! Lot of areas for strategy and a wonderfully grim sense of humour.

regisrquoi 2014-12-08 12:51

Fun! It's really good, considering the fact that you did it in 10 hours! :)
Would have love to see it with a bit more content^^
music is nice also.
Maybe the final round gives too much money, successing the game seems a bit random because of this, but winning is not realy the point of the game I guess, so that's fine.

acerunox 2014-12-08 13:34

Wow! Great game, it's really funny and that bass!

gokuhd 2014-12-08 14:13

This is a crazy awesome game! hahahahaha great animations, btw

cutandreil 2014-12-08 15:32

Nice graphics.
But I'm not sure how I make my thug win...

odra 2014-12-08 15:35

The AI you developed is much better at kicking grannies than me.

Awesome game!

mrspeaker 2014-12-08 15:42

Arrrrghh... I don't gettit'! Can I get a clarification of what's goin' on?! I'm coming back to play/rate this again - because the gfx and that tune is flippin' radical.

sos 2014-12-08 17:24

It is not significant to comprehend what is transpiring. It is important that you have fun!

ghostinthesoft 2014-12-08 17:57

Don't really get it but the music is great !

themaster99 2014-12-08 20:39

I don't know if it is meant to be, but the music is painfully loud on my computer, to the point that I had to take my headset off. Neat game, though!

zompi 2014-12-08 20:45

Well, this is madness! <punch punch> Graphic is nice, good old <punch> pixel style. Music is punching (hurting) my years. I can't see any good tactic <punch punch> here, completely random. But it's fun to click <punch> some grannies... and I see you were waiting for "slaughter" theme too ;)

po8rewq 2014-12-08 21:00

Really fun to play ! I like it !

gandalf1209 2014-12-08 21:20

This made me chortle.

hazard 2014-12-08 21:30

I don't really know what's going on, but it's fun to try. :) It'd already be pretty good if it were a 48 hour project, but with just 10 hours of work that's quite impressive.

lukz 2014-12-09 01:10

It's so impressive that you made it in only 10h!

rabbit 2014-12-09 01:26

Jesus Christ that song is intense. Fun game dude. I like that the players always look at where the mouse is.

cmdr 2014-12-09 02:57

this was fun! I'm not exactly sure what just happened but /i like it :)

raptor85 2014-12-09 03:08

as usual with sos's games, i have no idea what just happened but loved every minute of it.

error031 2014-12-09 03:09

Graphics are great, and gameplay very interesting.

pjchardt 2014-12-09 04:27

Great graphics and sound! I felt like I did not have much control over what happened, but had fun doing it :)

hogtrick 2014-12-09 14:40

Awesome idea. Loved the game. Everything in the game is nice to see.

kacperski1 2014-12-09 15:38

The game could be so cool if it was made in a longer time. But it's still great, and that music kicks ass :D

Anyway, I'm the guy who told you in reddit PM that he wants to become a pro game dev sometime. Czesc ^^

lukepilgrim 2014-12-09 16:06

great idea and feeling! the mood fits perfectly to the game idea

rnlf 2014-12-09 20:51

The music is really beefy!

I thought it was a bit irritating that the whole game is played with the keyboard but I had to click with the mouse to start it. I first thought it was broken...

aske 2014-12-09 21:23

10 hours is pretty friggin' good going ! Well done! Good job! :)

virtuallycompetent 2014-12-10 02:04

Great art and music! I couldn't quite understand what was going on with the gameplay at first, but I won so I must have figured it out. :P

mechamew 2014-12-10 06:45

Awesome! Felt like a part of Escape from New York with grannies! Humour, graphics, audio - all great!

kill0u 2014-12-10 12:36

I'm not sure I understand what's happening.. :D

deepnight 2014-12-10 12:48

A very cool entry :) My only grief is about the way the thugs move toward the target point. Right now, you probably have something like "if( x < targetY ) x+=speed". The problem is that this won't make your thug follow a straight line between start point and target.

I would switch that to a x+=Math.cos(ang)*speed (where ang is the angle from start to target).

Anyway, good job here, especially for a 10h entry!

sos 2014-12-10 12:58

I know, I know! But it's meant to be this way! The thugs seem more intelligent than walking a straight line. Also, since the level is wider than taller it makes them nearly always walk diagonally then horizontally and makes all the action more visible this way!

tl;dr I did this on purpose!

xaychru04 2014-12-10 18:12

Really cool and funny, if a bit short, but I enjoyed it and it felt polished for a game made in 10h!

deepnight 2014-12-10 23:10

I see :) That's fine then!
Anyway, I liked the fact that my first reaction was "how can this gameplay be interesting". Then I kept playing it for 20 minutes straight :)

matpg 2014-12-11 00:03

Great fun!
And well done animations

adventureislands 2014-12-11 00:37

Hmm why you need arrow keys and space to pick characters and then you play with mouse? makes no sense.

Anyway this is pretty interesting concept. controlling 4 thungs the same time can get pretty challenging especially when you need to favor one, but it's kind of fun.

maurogik 2014-12-11 07:51

Not sure I understood how it worked but hey, it fun ! Very ice art and music too.

metalchouchen 2014-12-11 18:52

Violence :)

sh1rogane 2014-12-11 22:52

This is really good for something made in 10 hours.

erik 2014-12-12 06:27

The super indirect controls make it really hard to accomplish anything. But it's lots of fun anyway.

jlauener 2014-12-13 13:49

slow motion!

pigeonsfromouterspace 2014-12-13 17:47

Great music (percussion sounds like from trackers for amiga old dos pc :D) and I like "crude" pixel art graphics (reminds me of playing shareware games when I was younger :)).
Can't get my head around controlling characters but it is still fun. My only complaint is that everybody should have awesome mustache like Jake.

warboys 2014-12-15 01:50

I came last. Sadness.

Not quite sure how to really influence the outcome, but it looks, sounds and feels beautiful. And who doesn't want to kick grannies?!

zatyka 2014-12-15 04:40

I've never seen a game like it before, which is one reason why I really like Ludum Dare. I felt sort of lost while playing, and replayed it a few times. I must admit that I enjoyed just watching the game more than trying to beat/win anything.

I had to mute it after a minute or so... the bass was a bit too much for me. I love the graphics, great use of color.

renaldo 2014-12-15 21:06

Made me feel guilty for the fun I had. The game is beautiful and I liked the music too, but controlling my character appears to be somewhat random. Maybe some old ladies' screams would had made the sound perfect.
A very fine work!

schnerble 2014-12-16 06:08

Very silly, and quite fun : ) I don't think I'm very good at it, though. Many points for originality!

asobitech 2014-12-16 19:14

so much blood.
hahahahaha.
Fun game.

deathbysnail 2014-12-19 18:55

Kick the grannies! So lifelike!

lekochen 2014-12-20 02:23

Lol didn't quite understand the strategy but that was fun.

paffe 2014-12-21 12:26

Simple & good fun. If only it was a bit longer.

dunin 2014-12-22 09:46

fun and original.
(but use the mouse to choice the thug is weird and annoying...)

superdisk 2014-12-27 22:59

"This was made by a disturbed kid"

commanderstitch 2014-12-29 23:23

this was hard to "win?" but haha nice
