Very fun, beautifully presented.
I have a few critiques:
I would also change the "Guns Akimbo" keys because I keep turning around a locking myself into place.
EDIT: That Engrish really got me.
EDIT (SPOILERS!):
Is there a way to play though the main game all the way through without selecting "New Game" or does that not wipe your progress?
dude since playing seige of osaka, and going through the rest, you've quickly become my favourite indie developer. you rock. i'll be sure to throw some cash your way soon, please keep them coming, your output is incredible
this was sick as fuck
Have had so much fun playing this! Haven't beaten it yet but I'm getting there. Any chance you'll port it over to Android? Seems like it'd be a great place/way to play it! Thanks again!
This was a fun little game I enjoyed it :)
This game is fantastic.
Congratulations and thank you so much for making it.
I see there's a Vita version - I'll see what it takes to play it.
Thanks for enjoying it :)
Amazing game, a must play for all the beat em up fans. Also a very unique game in the genre, with a lot of hidden moves and mechanics.
Loved every minute of it
I loved this game so much I am porting this game to the Playstation Vita, I really hope you don't mind.
So you did the port?
Man, thank you so much.
Yup, thanks!
Drill is love. Drill is life
I love this game wish I can enjoy it more :D
That aside the graphics and animations are so well done. really enjoyed the drill and grab attacks, feel so satisfying, and the music just keeps your blood pumping, great job!
Looks fun, gonna try it out on stream. Is there's a fullscreen option? Alt+Enter doesn't work.
Thanks :)
Just maximize the window, might be your best option. I find gamemaker's fullscreen a bit unreliable so I mostly avoid it tbh
Hiii, I've made a video about the game and wanted to share some feedback, hopefully it's useful to you :D
-The main concept is very good :D-Visually the game looks awesome and I can see it perfectly in a arcade machine.
-The gameplay mechanics are very well done and feel pretty solid. Also it is quite awesome how well they work as even a new player in a minute or two can easily get into them and make very awesome things :D
Hopefully this is useful to you :D, also if you could subscribe that would help me a lot :)
Regards
Great game! Last boss really challenging, but that's where the fun begin!
Impressive game. Really 16-bit era vibe. Congrats!!
Thanks for taking the time to play :) I found it really interesting that your play style is different to mine (I often cheese the jump-based combos and ignore my gun) and it's great that I accidentally managed to allow player expression!
Always a fan of your work man :). This is loads of fun
Thanks, glad to hear it :)
