John Redneck, mass serial killer, decides to break out of prison. He decides he wants to get out in style so he wants to kill a 100 guards and collect their caps as proof (so he can boast to his serial killer bros). Anyway, with infinite ammo he sets out through the holding cells, cafeteria and finally the courtyard to escape.
Controls: Arrow Keys - Move Down Arrow - Stand back Z - Jump X - Shoot
I really liked the "stand-back" feature. The levels and the fact that the guards don't shoot means that you can just find a spot and hold space until your quota is sitting on the ground.
The graphics are lovely, nicely minimilast. The gameplay is pretty basic though, and I wished my gun had been a bit more reliably in terms of when it would shoot!
I like the graphics, but they could have used some animation. The stand-back mechanic is a neat idea, but I feel it needs some limitations (not sure what, though).
As others have said, the stand-back mechanic is really nifty. But since it was too easy to stand in one place and mow the guards down, I didn't really get to use it.
I think some improved guard AI could go a long way toward forcing me to use it -- but of course there ought to be some cost to it, as well.
Also, this must be a pretty nasty prison if every room has a bottomless pit! I kid, I kid. ;)
Surprisingly interesting. Generally you can find a place where you just hold 'shoot' and are invulnerable, but the catch is that you then have to go over and collect the hats while avoiding incoming guards.
I think there's way more room to explore in terms of the level design.
Too easy to just stand in one place and slaughter everyone, do the cops even shoot? They didn't seem to be in my play. Am added difficulty that I was almost expecting to happen, is if the cops could have picked up the hats they ran over on their way through the level, would have added some incentive to run around the level and not just spam one hiding spot perhaps.
Yay, prison break. I got one of those in the workings as well (branched from a cross country running game).
You're loosing on the mood, with no "we want out" shouts as background music. And I think much too often in a prison break story, movie etc. the prisoner is the good guy, no?
Nice idea. I especially like the stand back mechanic. I didn't need to use it though: There is no need to move through a level, and I can easily just stand at a safe spot, shoot everybody, and once I've shot enough, instantly collect all the caps I need to win the level.
The graphics are simple, but I quite like them. Regarding the audio: Good thing you've included at least the shooting sound effect! (I'm always amazed when somebody makes a shooter and doesn't include it.)

Neat little game, add in some smooth animations ala Superbrothers Sword+Sworc. and you'd have a really beautiful looking game on your hands.

Good job all in all for 48 hours.
