Titlescreen1.png- ##### Hi, it's our 11th ludum Dare entry, and this time with game -

- - - "SUPER COP HERO" - - -

- A scroller shoot'm'up about the cop whose work is to clean the city of all crime. We hope you enjoy it!

Regarding current theme "The more you have, the worse it is" - our idea was that a crowd of fans prevent Super Cop doing his job.

Fans slow your movement, block your rolls, girls flash you while do selfie.

They block your bullets, but do not block the bullets of enemies.

You can also say that there is a lot of civilian casualties and damage to public property, so Super Cop is not that good, but you just haven't seen the other cops of this city...

Controls:


- wasd\arrows - walk

- left mouse button - shoot

- space\right mouse button - roll

- R\middle mouse button - reload

- F2\TAB - restart

- F4 - fullscreen

Duddddeeeeeee... this game is nice.
Really liked the art and the gameplay.
Just think that would be nice to be able to hold two shoots or something like it... hahahahahahaha

This is awesome! Also, really really difficult, haha! I like the take on the theme with the fan-crowd, but currently it seems like the least of your issues since you die from one hit!
The graphics and music is great, really sets the mood! Great job!
juliensnz5 Dec 2017, 12:24
Awesome graphics with a nice ambiance. I really love it! Could be nice to have more than one life though

Awesome game! The only think is the game is very hardcore as you have only 1 life!

Super fun game, nice graphic, art etc. It was quite difficult to reload during a fight but that kinda made it more tense

It's amazingly fun to play but very difficult. At first I thought you had to kill the children looking peeps (oops).

Amazing art, really good game (hard but that's ok).
dom5 Dec 2017, 18:18
This is a really well put together game. The art is beautiful and the game has a perfect balance of challenge vs. satisfaction. I love the fact that you die in a single shot, it makes the gameplay so much clearer.
Kegnarok5 Dec 2017, 18:22
Love this game! The art is beautiful! It is however quite hard xD And is there any kind of penalty for killing fans?

Also, very fun to play, a bit hard for me (past 5-6 cops).

RAD! and difficult xD ★★★★★
ElFapo5 Dec 2017, 18:32
Brilliant pixel art and music. All the assets blend really well together with the theme. But: I found it extremely hard to dodge the projectiles. If the background would scroll at about 1/3 of the screen, I think it would improve it by a great amount. Overall, very well done!
Cruise Elroy
Cruise Elroy5 Dec 2017, 18:35
Man, what a great game this was! The only main issues I have with the game would be that it feels like there are too many buttons -- I feel as though it would have been better if your gun reloaded automatically instead of having to have an entire button dedicated to it. The button to reset the game after you die (F2) could have also probably been mapped to the mouse button, but that's just a nitpick. The difficulty was something that took a bit to get used to, but once I did I have lots of fun. Fantastic job.
Handle5 Dec 2017, 18:35
It's so hard! Amazing entry though. Fantastic art and programming. I wish I could take two or three hits...
Toccs5 Dec 2017, 18:40
Such a hard game but love it nice work, no idea how you did such amazing art work though.
Arya5 Dec 2017, 18:42
Awesome game! Great art and sound, perfect controls, just really difficult

Super hard! I loved it though. I played it many, many, times even though it is annoying to push 'F2' on a MacBook...

niborious5 Dec 2017, 18:55
Holy crap 5 Stars!
This game was absolutely amazing. I love everything especially the graphics and the game feel. It was pretty difficult with a trackpad, and I'm sure you already know that F2 to restart is a weird choice, especially on mac.

I really liked the graphics and the music. Simple concept, but well implemented. I enjoyed it, thanks for the game!

HPMNK5 Dec 2017, 18:59
Great game idea ! Really hard because ennemy bullets are a bit too fast; but love the idea of having regular passengers disturbing you during your run. It can be an idea for a great game, if you decide to punish more the player for innocent kills. Theme is well respected and graphics are awesome ! Well done guys

Wow! I played your Please, Don't Touch Anything! It was good and I am a really big fan of Blinch's soundtrack for PDTA.

This game is awesome. IIRC you have 4 people in your team, and this is a huge work for 72-hour jam. Seriously, soundtrack, art, sounds.

Да, ребят, удачи вам.

Awesome art. Enemy projectile speed is CRAZY, I don't know if it's intended like that or if I happen to encounter some kind of bug but it makes the game almost unplayable :(

Like your every game, but this not the best. I don't feel myself a cool cop. I feel myself like small rabbit hiding in the corner of street to hide. Anyway good job!
GoZz
GoZz5 Dec 2017, 20:12
Awesome game guys ! I really love the graphics and the sound is amazing too.

A hard as it needs to be to be really interesting.

I don't know if you noticed but you can still fire when reloading that makes the reload a little obsolete as you just have to shoot one bullet start reloading while shooting the rest of your bullets.

falak5 Dec 2017, 20:15
WAY TO HARD! But the game is perfect! Really the graphics the music the gameplay the fun and theme also :) The main character is like from Broforce XD And that's easteregg *cough* IDDQD *cough* The best entry i've seen so far. Good Luck

The art is fantastic, the animation is flawless. I felt the mechanic or recharging a little hard and the enemies aim is perfect, but it's enjoyable anyways.
URNext76345 Dec 2017, 22:13
It's really good! I just wish it wasn't so easy to die.
Sylver_Kovy5 Dec 2017, 22:31
The game is fun, also really difficult

However we died to fast .

The tiny sprite animations are unusually fluid and characterful. Great work.
The F2 screen is also very amusing. I saw it frequently.

Your game is very juicy ! I love it all. The fan who's follow you is hilarious. I don't have many things to says more. May be than I found the game a little bit difficult.

Good Job !

Good aesthetic choices, the game is very beautiful. As others have commented, I also find the game a bit difficult. Congratulations.

Boas escolhas estéticas, o jogo está muito bonito. Como outros comentaram, também achei o jogo um pouco difícil. Parabéns. :flag_br:

Reloading was awkward. Maybe this game wants to be played with a controller?

Love the twist and theme integration, very clever! Art was also super!
StrangerYann
StrangerYann6 Dec 2017, 14:03
This is rather good, professional-looking, awesome polish.

There is a little problem with the full scree button on the HTML5 version, here's what it looks like on my PC:

Now most of all, there is 1 little problem you forgot about:
French people ---> Azerty keyboards.

You didn't add the arrow keys in the controls, and even if you did, arrow keys + "R" key for reload would be a problem (the keys are too far appart and they can only be reached with 1 hand because the game uses the mouse).
It's extremely important to take that into consideration in a game that's quite punishing: one hit = instant kill.
If I have to dodge the enemy bullets but that I have to chose btween not being able to use the "up" key OR having to twist my hand to do so, well... it'll lead me to play just 2 minutes instead of 20 so its a shame.

You should fix this!
French people are worth it!
They are cool!
Heck, I should know!

Good game tho, take care :)

Amazing game, I love it, cute pixelart, and great gameplay. The only downside is that you can't play in full screen, but other than that it's awesome.
saintheiser6 Dec 2017, 16:37
Wery well played.... BUT TOOOOOOOOO HARD!
What the collision mask you use? Half of screen?

Anyway good using of theme. Like to kill these annoying journalists!
Xahell6 Dec 2017, 18:24
Fun concept, it really cool!
Joror
Joror6 Dec 2017, 19:38
Lol, dem kids... awesome style & humor

But seriously, give us at least 3 lives/armor or something :P
Sun-Wukong6 Dec 2017, 20:31
Incredible as always. Fun, beautiful and very hard. Didn't expect less from you guys though.

It plays like puzzle though - you have to learn enemy patterns and move one enemy at a time to win this little masterpiece.
Eretzoum6 Dec 2017, 20:41
Great art! But why so hard? It's almost unplayable(for me). Other than that, it has the potential to be a great game. Maybe a healthbar for taking extra hits or extra lives? I liked the crowd getting in the way. Maybe getting punished for shooting them would be a nice addition.

Best LD40 game I've played so far. You know how it is: even the best games, you're kinda done playing after 5 minutes or so. Not this one! I could play this all night. Probably will.

JeffChen7 Dec 2017, 03:10
This game is amazing!And too hard to me!What the fk are these people?I killed so many of them,they just kept following me?!Yeah,crazy fans!
I like the pixel art,and the game is very interesting!
Alex Lutay
Alex Lutay7 Dec 2017, 04:56
Graphics are great as always. Really love your pixels. Music is also pleasing.
I think the most challenging way to play this game is a pacifist mode. You just roll forward, fans can't catch on you. Enemies simply don't run after you.
One of the coolest game so far.
arly7 Dec 2017, 06:20
Great art and concept, funny and well executed. I do think the game itself is difficult to actually play, so I think some gameplay tweaks could really help!

Great looking pixel art and well implemented ludum theme. A bit hard but I had fun.

hbocao7 Dec 2017, 14:53
Awesome graphics, guys! This is a really beautiful game. Good job on the songs, too. The controls are very smooth ans easy to get into. My main issue is the one hit kill, which I find too harsh. I could not enjoy the game the way I thought I would be. Solid entry!
rohezal
rohezal7 Dec 2017, 19:07
This is game is super hard but fun. Move around fast enough, because the first hit will kill you.
Bonelazy7 Dec 2017, 20:35
Extremely hard! I wanted to play the game but the difficulty turned me off. Game balance is an important aspect of game design and one hit kill with a game this fast is a bad decision. Good job on every other aspect of the game that I got to see though :)
Vija02
Vija027 Dec 2017, 22:38
Gameplay wise, pretty decent. The crowd was very annoying though. I know it's part of the game but it feels more annoying than challenging. I like how you die with 1 bullet. At first i didn't know i can roll. So the game was fun.
Too bad the crowd just broke the experience for me. Could've been better making it on other aspect imo. Really like the other gameplay though.
weeping-rupee
weeping-rupee8 Dec 2017, 01:12
New favorite.

Pros:

- TOP NOTCH sprite work
- Fun and addictive as hell
- Funny (When the baddies blow themselves up its really great... also I spent the first 30 seconds killing civilians and being like ' what is this game?... Also I was unsure whether I should shoot the cameraman so I shot him every time. It felt bad but also good. ')
- Inventive use of theme

Cons:
- Its tough. This isnt inherently bad but I think maybe the ratio or FOV could be changed a bit-- My instinct when playing a skill based action game like this is to barrel through but the optimal strategy for me was to memorize where the baddies were coming from and reload between dudes. That way I could just DUMP bullets. I think it might work better if I could see them coring from further away and then memorization wouldnt be as key.

All in all this is magnificent. Great work.

Suuuuper tight! We had a very roughly similar idea about too many people appreciating you, although very different approach ha ha. And ours ended up as a side scrolling shooter too, (although we only decided to do that on the last day). Anyway, amaaaazing art, style and gameplay as usual. love it!!
Badly Drawn Rod8 Dec 2017, 14:31
Fantastic sprites and explosions! It Looks great, but I keep getting slaughtered very quickly because there isn't enough look ahead and my memory isn't all that great.
tobia888 Dec 2017, 15:33
Nice game, best 2d graphic and music in the games i played so far! But it's tough, i cant even pass through the game, so i dont even know does the fans dead cause any of penalty? Even though i'm a super cop but i've to play as carefully as i can, i'm not sure the mood is compatible with the mechanics, anyway, well done!

Always a fan of your guys' games. They always have a unique idea and feel to them. In general there aren't too many games that utilize a "groupie" mechanic so this was cool.

Superb art, nice music, the gameplay is efficient and the following crowd is a very nice idea.
It's also nice to have an "easier mode".
Well done guys!

All-round pretty good. Only problem is that I think the sound effects lacked some serious punch.
jaimuepe9 Dec 2017, 20:54
Damn, this game is hard. But it's definitely one of the best games i've seen in this ludumdare. Art is great, music / sound effects are great, and your take on the theme is pretty original. Good job!
randomhuman
randomhuman9 Dec 2017, 21:16
Really great! I love the concept and the art, probably one of the best takes on the theme I have seen so far. Quite punishing on hard though, easy-peasy is definitely the play mode for me!
unfinished
unfinished9 Dec 2017, 21:21
best game so far. though on mac os i could not choose easy mode in the web gl version. when i hover over the checkbox i get my default cursor. maybe this is also the way of telling me, that easy mode is for pussies :P

Game was awesome, I ended up shooting those damn camera fans cause it was easier. Didn't get very far though. Good job :D
Sibi
Sibi9 Dec 2017, 21:33
Awesome game! Graphics and sound are outstanding!

This game is really hard or I am just getting too old :D
Had to turn it to easy mode (thanks for the option btw). Took me some time to figure out that rolling makes you invulnerable and that spam shooting is actually viable.
The take on the theme is interesting but does not seem to be a major game mechanic but more a nice gimmick.

That said, this is one of my favorites this jam so far :)
MewSoul

Really great entry, super well polished. The one hit death is a bit harsh imo, but I guess that's part of the game :D Congrats for this game! :)

Art is great and it is enjoyable, but it is really tough even on easy.

This is an insanely polished game, very impressed by the visuals and audio! I found it quite tough but felt engaged to keep retrying anyway.
Oivin F
Oivin F13 Dec 2017, 19:49
Wow this game was good.
Agree that some enemies might appear too quickly to reasonably react to, but with the included easy mode, I cleared it first try no problem.

I love the Gears of War style timed reload minigame, but I'd put it perhaps over the crosshairs instead because that's where I'd have my eyes most of the time in order to see incoming bullets I need to dodge.

Also, I don't feel any incentive really to save the civilians, they annoy me more than anything by getting in the way... In a way it almost felt good to see them being mowed down, and I'm not completely sure that's a good thing.

I'm 99% sure this is my favorite entry this LD. Amazing job!

toboggan14 Dec 2017, 01:20
Fantastic music! The art is exceptional too. I appreciate the brutal one-hit-kill difficulty and even though I fumbled a lot with the controls, it felt like it was my fault when I died. Anyway, astonishingly polished, really great work.

Browser version framerate crawled a bit for me here and there, but not surprising with so many entities on screen.

svntax14 Dec 2017, 09:04
Really great game! The game feels really well polished with the art, music, and feel of the movement working together nicely.

Super fun game! Quite hard to play, it's pretty unusual to die so easily at the start of a game, but it's very enjoyable! The graphics and music are spot-on, the gameplay is fun as well, good job!
Satyre
Satyre15 Dec 2017, 22:42
Stunning game art! Gameplay is nice and hard while progressing. The mexican is overpowered. Barrelroll and shooting is way to hard to dodge xD Great game!
Hisfantor16 Dec 2017, 18:11
love the art style! solid 5/5 for that. I'ts a challenging game from the start on and really fun to play
megabrutal18 Dec 2017, 02:22
So hard, I die too easily! :D
Hooraygil18 Dec 2017, 04:22
Wow! What a punishing game. I played it for about 30 mins now and was not able to finish it, but it's just so addictive!
I first played the web version and downloaded the original ludum dare version afterwards, mostly because I couldn't believe how you were able to put out such a polished game in such a short time (and for ratings of course)! ;P
I found the dodge mechanic to be more punishing than helpful most of the time because it restricts you in one direction. When I killed that machine gun guy the first time I though "nice that one dropped a weapon" and was kind of dissapointed :P but other than that a really nice game, will definitely come back to finish it!

I also had some hard times playing it on windows because of the forced windowed mode, but I see you got that allready fixed! thanks for the great game!

Super fun and polished game. Loved it. Specially like how challenging it was. On my first few tries I only managed to survive a couple of seconds.

There's just three small issues I noticed. There's no feedback for the roll cooldown, the quick reload feels a bit unresponsive and I think the "game over" screen should contain your highscore.

But that's pretty much all, fun and polished. Super solid entry.
Gamxeelex18 Mar 2018, 15:24
super fun with amazing graphics and really cool extras! A game really worth playing
