Freddy The Frenchman.

Controls:

Z - Attack 1

X - Attack 2

Arrow Keys - Move

The Goal: Make it through each level, attacking people you see with a baguette, and throwing bread rolls at them.

Frogs and Snails replenish health in different amounts, they are in chests which you can open by walking (or sliding, considering the lack of animation) into. You'll take damage if the random people get too close.

Made in Monogame, Paint.net for art. sfxr + lmms for sound effects and music. Ogmo for making levels.

Wish I had had more time to work on it, but oh well.

Wasn't a massive fan of the theme, but a baguette is an unconventional weapon, right?

Ben: 'Bap-slapping Frenchman is a very funny idea. Great game to cheer you up if you're crying in the dark at night by yourself'

Akin: Innovative, fun, funny, humour, great game 8/10.

Callum: Fucking sick

The game is very simple, and that's a virtue in this case. It's all very pixel-artsy and chiptune-y, both very well implemented. A good entry, I like it.

Great game, the sound stopped in the desert area.

The enemies are neither smart nor varied, which makes the game neither challenging nor particularly interesting. Music, graphics and mechanics fit well together. Slapping people with food items is always great. Well done.

Controls are a bit strange, but definitely the best game I played so far. Nice music and graphics!

nice little game. Never used baguette as a weapon, I can tell you that. :B

I'm interested in the Monogame games and yours is not bad! Good work, but a little bit too short.

Nice blips and blops, and the pixel hero actually looks french. Best baguette game in the compo :)

Very fun. The random teleporting was a bit disorienting though.

Cute game! Lots of level content! :O To give one small critism, the vertical resolution was so low that if I sometimes walked straight into enemies before even noticing them xD But maybe im just have slow reaction speed.

Charming graphics and mood - a pity the music doesn't keep looping.

As for the controls, it might make them feel a bit smoother, if Freddy would move in the direction of the last direction key used. Currently, some movement keys "block" others, which can make the controls feel a bit unresponsive.

please consider us qwertz users in the future though as zx is a little awkward for us

What's wrong with french people, je vous en prie!
A classic shooter, you gain so much HP that there's a point when you don't care if enemies touches you.
You can easily be lost in that maze, there's lots of rooms and stages.
Definitely a good entry.
