LOCUST USA (reboot)
A downloadable game for Windows
Horror-Mystery-Exploration-Brick-Breaking with BOSS FIGHTS and 80s REFERENCES - fight a malevolent supercomputer, scour a dead guy's house for clues, collect keycards, banish a basement demon!
--
I wanted to try making this again, only this time with better code, bigger targets to hit so it wasn't as frustrating, no intrusive Random Event mechanics, and multi-room mysteries built in a nicer, easy-to-maintain way. Huge shoutout to Pascal Belisle for the massively inspirational work on The Trial of Kharzoid!
Options & Tutorial/Guide can be accessed immediately on running the game!

Music from DOS-88, hopefully this usage is tasteful!

Hey, is there a "S" ending on distortions for saving both sacrifices ?
I managed to do it, no S ending '^^
Your game(s) got reviewed on the Arcane Cache, an underground blog for underground games!
The production value of this games is incredibly high. The sprites are charming. the sfx is satisfying, and at the best moments you turn up the volume to get out more of the music when entering a boss fight. ... According to the linked profiles the developer is employed as a lighter within the game industry, and I believe their experience in professional productions is apparent in the games - but on the other hand it is clear that these productions are labors of love. I strongly recommend to check them out.

Well done!

wondering how i might fix?
Oops, my fault. I can upload a fixed version when I get the time :)
Apologies for the delay, new version "fix2" should solve your problem :)
Great retro-style! Good job doing the pixel art.
I get this when attempting to go beyond the options menu:

Uploaded a version with a fix for that, thanks for the heads up :)
You're welcome and thanks for the fix! It works now.
New video has been made
Дуже класео.
Made another video
so I get the impression that everyone hates the RUST DEVIL stage so far... :P
Mostly the wrecking ball and we had to play it a couple times from dying soooooooo not our favorite part so far.
As of v0.5, locks/unlocks for stages are 100% ignored, so Stage Select can go to any stage. Should make things less frustrating ;
Looking forward to trying out the new stage and seeing how the game has been updated
