Tutorial
``` You jump into the tragic role of former super hero who, due to an incident in the past, has fallen from grace. He became a slave to the bottle, in order to forget what happened in the past. But the memories keep flashing through his mind. That one tragic moment where he and Grasshopper... No!
He grabs his bottle to take a deep gulp when he realized, he's out of booze.
Interesting idea. Wasn't able to beat the final boss (?), but I suck at these sorts of games, so...meh, probably just me being a noob.
Wasn't really sure what the jump button was there for, and I'm not certain how this pertains to the theme (literally running out of superhero power, maybe?), but...other than that, nothing really to nitpick over.
Awesome graphics. Gameplay was good, nothing special but enough for me to beat the game even though it took me three tries. Juggling enemies was the best part for me and worked great, nice synergy there between the punch and throw mechanics. What was the second bar under the health bar for?
Hey guys thanks for playing! Sorry it is a little hard to beat the final boss, but what can you do. For clarification: The second bar is your power - it fills up when you consume alcohol and the more you have the stronger your punches, but you lose alcohol per punch. And yes, the theme is that you are running out of super hero power (and need to refill it with sweet, sweet alcohol), but fitting narrative into a short game is hard. :D
Great graphics, good sound and music. I found it extremely boring though. This is basic even by the standards of an early 90s beat-em-up (a genre that has aged really poorly). There isn't even a jump kick! The only strategy seems to be corralling everybody into one place so you can punch them all at once. I also wish it was larger on screen. I'm sorry to be harsh, but I don't think that beat-em-ups are going to have the same renaissance that fighting games started a few years ago.
Thanks for your honesty! :D Yeah, unfortunately we didn't get to the really cool parts about actually adding some super powers for our hero. No grabbing of street signs or suplexing cars, or any other kinds of super moves.
As for the ending, it was extremely rushed too, so we're glad we actually got the boss fight in at all. No-one was planning a renaissance of fighting games. This is not Steam Greenlight. This is just a gamejam, and we did what we thought would be cool to do.
Wow I love the animation and the sound design! You really made it feel like there was weight behind those punches! Very few people can do that, you should be proud ;)
Really liked the graphics, the sound and music. The animation and the pixel art are amazing for such a short period of time. It's cool to see beat'em ups, one doesn't get those to often nowadays haha Cool to play a mature but satiric world like they use to make in the 90s. The combat sistem is too simplistic (but its understandable for a jam), I would love to see a bit more depth in there!
Thanks for all the great feedback guys! Makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. We've had a lot of reports of Chrome really not working. Firefox has had better results at least. Apologies about all that - we used a really old version of game maker that gave us a lot of trouble. :C
The art is so detailed! Overall had a good feel to it and was fun juggling the enemies in the air. Didn't expect the boss fights either haha. Good job on the jam!
awesome pixel art! Love the characters the animations and the style of the whole city, very cool! The punches also felt very powerful and good. I made it to the green fairy but the game become a bit boring after a while. Maybe it would be better if new differents enemies were coming earlier so you haven't to fight a lot of the same dudes for a long time.
Love the art. Animations for the character were smooth. I think the snores from the other guys are a little to loud. Also I run into a black screen during the game play in the HTML 5 version, but maybe was my browser. Other than that great game.
Wow very impressive art, with a lot of detail. Loved the gameplay a lot, very nice work there. The officers was a bit confusing at first, it took some time before the fired their gun. It wasn't until the homeless guys came back they started to do something and then it got really hard all of a sudden
