A rogue-like made in 72h by 7 people using CraftStudio - http://craftstud.io/

"I went on a mission, deep in the city's underground.
There, the worst criminals had had it too easy for too many years.
They were untouchable and I had finally gotten tired of playing good cop.
I went beneath the surface with nothing but my coat, my fists
and an unquenchable thirst for some sweet, brutal justice."

Inspector Badass has always been looking out for the little guy.
But now it's time to take care of what the system couldn't.
Go beneath the surface and clear the city underground from all the scum!

On Windows: Better performances than the Web version! Recommended for slow PCs.
You'll need the XNA framework redistributable to play.
You probably already have it but just in case, the link is above!

On the Web: Chrome and Firefox work fine. IE11 seems to work but might be slow.

Fantastic game! It was really fun to beat dudes up. Great presentation! The only thing is that I never really understood what to do after I got 100%.

Thanks! When you get to 100% evidence, you get the warrant and that unlocks the boss door... Beat it and you'll get to the next zone with a different boss!

Very nice. Good use of theme in story and atmosphere. I am very bad at this game, but I want to keep playing anyway. That's good stuff right there.

Love the look and presentation!

"Press X to 'Investigate'" <- that killed me

Really cool game. Loved the graphics. I didn't get too far though; got stuck in a corner behind a box =/

Great entry :D, good graphics and music.
It's outstanding that the game was done in 72h.

Rad art, great humor, fun, and very refreshing. There are only a few negatives: 1) theme connection is a bit weak and 2) the jumping kick is far faster and more effective than the punch combo, making the punch almost useless. I very much enjoyed my tame with the game! I was scared when the last guys came out with guns but I wrecked 'em.

I had a lot of fun with this one. Nice look and feel. Great humor! Well executed. Great work!

Great game nicely put together. My only issues are that the animations make it unclear whether I can attack up or downwards so I end up default to attacking sideways, which can feel a bit odd. Also the transition between levels is really sudden.

Really fun to play, and quite hard to finish !
The graphics, the humor and the music make a fantastic atmosphere !

The best Beat'em all made with Craftsudio :p

Loads of fun and will become something much better in time. Add Combos and multiplayer and you might have a modern Streets of Rage.

Fantastic entry. Just amazing. A bit hard, but the graphics are amazing. Wish the levels were a bit shorter, and had more variety, but woah, fantastic.
Helopol29 Apr 2014, 15:28
Loved the graphics and the humour... But it's hard !
Seriously tho, these hard pixels are sexy as hell.
BuKaneerz29 Apr 2014, 16:47
Really great work !
Awesome graphics and humour !
pereubu29 Apr 2014, 18:03
Holy fuck this games looks sooooo gooood.
This is awesome. Even if the game is a bit too hard and the design needs some polish, I want to stuff like that more often.
Keep it up :D
Hob62329 Apr 2014, 19:33
Really polished game here. (Dat voice acting.) I really liked the art, which is why I came here since I'm following one of you guys on Tumblr. Also, is that a TARDIS? Nice. Didn't get to play past the first level since flash crashed JUST as a finished it, but I'm totally trying again if I have time later.

It's the best game ever. What else can I say ?
The game has sound effects, music and good voice over, gorgeous graphics, randomly generated levels, punks from the 80's, multiple levels... Very polished and complete game, I'm giving 5 stars in a lot of categories. Just a fantastic game, good work team!

Nice graphics, I liked the jump attack, very cool.
Audio and the general atmosphere of your game is awesome.
I wish to see some blood when I get damaged, it doesn't seem there is any feedback at all on this.
Elisée
Eliséeauthor30 Apr 2014, 22:33
gre: totally agree, we had some blood particle effects planned but ran out of time!

Thanks from the whole team to everyone who played, rated & left comments so far, much appreciated! :)

Awesome game as always guys. Pixel's sketches are super cool. Makes me want to go back to creating games with Craftstudio!

Haha, Press X to investigate was great. This is really awesome! Love the art. Very hard though, but then... roguelike... part of the point I guess. Well done!
iSamurai1 May 2014, 14:45
Awesome game! The art & sound is very impressive. The gameplay is also very solid. Great job!

"Investigate" haha xD
Very cool entry :)

So, "justice" is about beating up all the black guys and stealing their money so you can afford drugs?
Jared Sartin1 May 2014, 17:42
NICE WORK! HELP ME FIND MY CAPSLOCK BUTTON. I HATE YELLING.

The style of this is great, and it has a damn funny premise.

It feels a little off that the characters don't turn away from the screen when moving upward, the punching felt a little clunky (If you were able to cancel the end of the animation into moving/jumping it would feel so much tighter), and that all the thugs were black felt kinda... unpleasant.

Glorious art, though gameplay could use some polish. Still lots of fun!

this was a fun game - adding to my favorites - nice job

GrooveMan: Thanks for the feedback! Someone on Reddit reported the same concern as you regarding the thugs. I explained what happened over there: http://www.reddit.com/r/devblogs/comments/24iss7/inspector_badass_making_a_roguelike_in_72h_with_a/ch844zi

Basically: Our bad! It's a side effect of rushing to submit in time. There are only a few different bad guys, not all of them are black, but the most common one is & that gives the wrong impression. Completely unintentional, if we realized it as the game came together, we would have fixed it! Hopefully that doesn't prevent you and other people from enjoying the game.

Very well done! Happy to see another XNA entry, but it seems like shooting yourself in the foot to deal with XNA 3D instead of just going with Unity at that point. Regardless, great game and great job!

It's been a while since I played game made with a CraftStudio - nice job. Like music a lot.
Elisée

Noah: Thanks! XNA is just the foundation of the tool we use (which I built), CraftStudio. It's a lot like Unity but it is very easy to use even for beginners, features real-time cooperation as well as tools to build models, maps, etc.

Really amazing sound and the style is awesome. I managed to make it to level 2 but gave up after I realized your health didn't refill and you started over at level 1 after dying. Still, this was a lot of fun to play and I would love to see a post-competition version of this.
