Your 8 bit character has rebelled to the system.
He has trapped your thumb and the only way to free it is to destroy all enemies with only your index finger.
You only get one FINGER to beat your opponent!

-- Instructions ----------------------
- You have only 3 lives.
- Click to kill enemies.
- R to restart.
- Click on bomb and then click again on the A/B buttons in order to hit your character on top!
--------------------------------------
PLAY THE GAME: http://www.havana24.net/prototipi/8bitRebellion.html

I've used Stencyl, Paint Shop Pro, Audacity to make this game.

Hope that you like it, this is my first entry on LD! :)

Mixing game screen and some photographic objects is a great idea. It creates a unique mood.
Also, nasty blue goombas !

Ha, this was funny game. Great idea. Perhaps the finger press could have been bit more precise, but otherwise it played just fine.

For my taste it's too repetitive and there is no emergent gameplay. Cute idea though and well executed for what it is.

Great game with really good music. And I like the break of the fourth wall. Wah! Boos and Goombas coming out of my gameboy ;)

Great idea! It was fun squashing those enemies. I wish the finger wouldn't hide most of the enemies under it. But otherwise a solid little game. :)

I had a big smile on my face as the creeps came out of the game-*coughs*-NERDboy :D

I got a bug when the shadow moved, but the finger didn't, excepting when I click.

Good to see another italian developer on here! Nice game!

Great game! No one can beat 8 bit!

Great game! I like the way your brain worked

One of the most humorous games I've played so far! Excellent idea, I love it. The game is easy to play but not that easy to win (damn ghosts!)

One minor complaint: when the game is over, you should open a popup with your website that way - I was so "in the game" that I continued clicking after loosing the game, and that open a popup without me understanding what was happening. Maybe you should put the link & logo besides the games instead, it'll get the same ad effect without disturbing players ;).

Very unique setting. Love the usage of real finger photo in this :D
It's a bit hard to control using trackpad though :)
drnick20 Dec 2013, 00:05
Very good! Brings me memories of my Game Boy Color! Very good idea you had to use those graphics!

It's innovative as hell. It felt amazing playing it!

Nice surrealist take on a classic game!

Heh. Quick, clean, and fun. Very nice!

Absolutely loved the game, and I doubly-absolutely loved the music, almost to the point of losing because I wanted my finger mashing to match the music. Amazing work, and even more so seeing as it was your first LD.

Pretty clever setup and design! Sadly I could hardly follow anything happening in the upper half of the screen since it the gameplay gets very intense right from the beginning.
Calciumtrice26 Dec 2013, 14:16
Extremely cool. The mix of photos for the 'real' objects and sprites for the game enemies is done really nicely. Gameplay is solid and a really clever idea implemented very well overall.

That's just so freaking awesome. I love it.

Very cool concept. I had a hard time with lining up the finger with the goombas, but got the hang of it eventually.

Now that's an original idea! The graphics are great. The music annoyed me a bit, but that's pretty appropriate for a lot of game music of the era.

On the downside, the gameplay gets a bit repetitive (even though you introduce quite a bit of variety), and it's not always easy to know where you're putting your finger down. Still, a solid game, and very impressive for your first LD.
eskivor26 Dec 2013, 23:44
Hah ha, the game is funny, you have to aim with the shadow of the finger ^^
But, I'm not sure to understand what does the green line mean ? If it's a chain, it's not obvious enough, beacause it looks like a life bar.

The feeling of pressing finger is pretty fun!

Mario as enemy - yeah! I like how he looks like a commander sending the troops..

Nice little game, but sometimes the hand glitched and stopped following the mouse (only moving after a click)...
jerombd28 Dec 2013, 02:13
The controls are a bit awkward, but it's a very original game!
thebrainfuse28 Dec 2013, 18:54
IMO the delay in moving your thumb after hitting something makes the controls appear sluggish... great concept and execution!

Genius work and very well made!

Nice work, keep it on!

This is great! I love how you took old games and made them into new games! Nice!

Bravo Alessandro! :D

A very uncommon and original way of input. I really enjoyed the music, too. Sometimes it's hard to tell where the finger hits the surface.
Denis Chakarov5 Jan 2014, 08:15
Hahaha, funny idea! I got the bug with the shadow as others complained. Where you're moving only the shadow, and the hand is updated only when you click.

A bit too repetitive, but it's pretty original and the graphics are amazing.

Cool concept, game is quite hard, but controls are some uncomfortable ;) Anyway, very good!

Very clever! Funny and original, good use of the theme!

great concept, i love the idea of the game taking over and leaking out into the real world!
