Error opening archive.On linux

OSX crash

I fixed the linux issue. I exported the wrong thing. I don't know about the OSX one, though. Did it open? Or just crash outright?

Would love to play this, but the windows Bitly link gave me a bitly virus warning error...?

skipi 2016-04-19 04:30

@Brice, it's likely because I linked to a direct executable. I'll try putting it in a zip file and see if that helps any.

Windows download did not work for me.

Pretty good Hotline Miami clone, made me realize that some Hitman style personality-stealing mechanics could actually be a lot of fun in this style of game...

Great work!

First game I rate is about an alien wishing to impersonate Donald Trump. The day is off to a good start :D

Great little game, I think you really nailed the Hotline Miami aesthetic in terms of music selection and mechanics. The art was definitely quite appealing, though I felt the minimalist aesthetic of the architecture clashed a bit with the more detailed character sprites. The premise itself though was pretty amusing and it was definitely a good 10 minute bite of gameplay.

This is so funny and the innovation of the shape shifting is a well implemented addition.

Very entertaining entry, excellent choice of music. I'm definitely getting that Hotline Miami feel. Nicely done!

Hey hey! I found someone else using godot!

Absolutely loved the game! I never found trump but I had a blast murdering everyone in sight. Gave me a Hotline Miami + GTA vibe that I loved.

My only complaint was the faulty hit detection. Had to click multiple times to punch anyone right in front of me. Transforming is also tricky.

Overall this was really fun, and I think it has great potential for a larger game.

I was wondering if there would be Godot entries. I didn't get any music, but it was easy to pick up and play. Nice work!

skipi 2016-04-19 21:53

I absolutely loved using Godot. It was a pleasure to develop in and I learned a lot with this entry. ^_^

Good music, funny story, gameplay needs a bit of work. No Trump hair.

Very innovative game, was impressed by the detail put into the enemy AI.

There's a lot of problems here. Enemy hitboxes seem to be rather inconsistent: Sometimes I have to mash click on an enemy corpse to become them (awesome mechanic by the way), sometimes I have to punch an enemy in the face three or four times because the first times don't register. Hotline Miami is very generous with enemy hitboxes in this way. Also I can't help but think things would be nicer if the camera automatically followed the cursor. The lack of sound effects is kind of weird (enemies can hear gunshots but I can't?). In general I think this game suffers from death by a thousand papercuts: There's a lot of little things wrong with it which add up to make my experience generally unenjoyable.

skipi 2016-04-20 21:07

@yokcos700, sprites were increased in size last minute and I wasn't able to update the hitboxes. You can also hold shift to move the camera around with the cursor.

Played it quite a bit, but didn't get to complete it. great game, had a lot of fun with it. have never played Hotline Miami, which I assume was the inspiration for this so maybe I should give that a shot as well. Great game overall.

Please add an HTML5 version! This looks great.

Haha awesome entry! You nailed it, if I had to give some criticism it would be that the punching felt a bit awkward and transforming didn't always work. The gunplay was excellent though!

Fun little Game :)
