The game is a good entry. Its greatest failing is the numerous bugs that plague it.

I love the levels! The background art is full of personality and in-jokes. It is also easily the most detailed background art I've seen in any of the entries. (Including my own, I really should have worked harder on that) It reminds me of some of the side-scrolling beat-em-ups from the 90s, little visual gags strewn about here and there.

The music is a bit on the loud side, but totally awesome! Cheesy butt-rock, and such a good match for the gameplay.

The gameplay is simple, and I've never liked mouse controls for shooting. But the varied and entertaining weapon selection helps to liven it up nicely. Handing the character a flamethrower and a chainsaw later in the level is fantastic. The jumping is probably one of the weaker aspects. It doesn't feel like there is any real weight to the character, and jumping in general doesn't benefit you any.

The animation isn't stellar, but it is definitely above average. It looks like it was done with code. Given the dynamic nature of the main character, and his response to the aiming, this would make sense. The fact that additional characters can be unlocked is a rather impressive feature. It doesn't make as much sense for a brief flash game, but my hat is off to you anyway.

I you want a quick fix for the whole mouse scrolling stuff, just use the direct link to the flash and adjust the window. Direct link is this. --> http://tinyurl.com/yduqv Overall, an enjoyable game, but it certainly had its fair share of bugs.

Well, it is totally, completely awesome. It should have been in the first place if not for the bugs and stupid weapon switch mechanic. I hope it gets progressively better.

EDIT: and it also has a rather nasty bug on a train - after boxcar with ammo on top, there is a next one - and Yahtzee inexplicably dies there sometimes.

Second edit: gun that shoots shurikens and lightning could use... you know... actual lightning.

Third edit: please make animation of the deltaplane flying away when Yahtzee lands, rather than just flashing and disappearing.

The gun with the flaming tits that shot shurikens and lightning made this.

Actually, though, it's the only entry that I replayed after I died... I thought it was pretty damn compelling, and the weapon selection is sweet.


The stake shooting gun has some bugs... sometimes two stakes will appear, no stakes will appear, etc.

Overall though, this was my favorite.

The game is clearly influenced (heavily) by Madness Interactive. But other than that, a very fun and well made game. Difficulty wasn't too bad, don't know why people found it too hard? But the lack of sound effects was a bit annoying at times. Overall, I think it was easily the Winner!

@swaki > you are supposed to shoot him with the shuriken weapon and then with the mini gun or the tree launcher... His blast drains half of your life and if you touch him you die :p

I loved it. I played it over and over again. Good enough combat, nice fun, and I have only one complaint. When I was at the part with the hang-glider, I walked to the end of the box. After, I got stuck and had to restart. But, whatever, it was good enough to overlook that.

And I really don't see how that tower defense one beat it...

Edit: Also, scroll to switch? Bad idea.

This game is awesome. 1st prize in my eyes. Just played through it again as Gordon Freeman. Plus it had a series of QTEs that I actually liked =)

Oh, what fun. My mouse refuses to change weapons, so I generally end up hopping around and dying as soon as the stake gun runs out of rounds, and when I finally managed to stave off the hordes, get more ammo, and move on...I randomly die. No explanation given. I'm just dead.

The final gun was awesome. Tits, Fire, Shurikans and lightning? How could it be better?

Oh right, it could juggle imps that it killed. Not bad overall.

Real great game, would have taken first easy with some polish, speaking of which, I found a bug with the stake gun that caused imps to kill themselves on touching a stake that was already embedded in the terrain.
