Angry Viking vs Minimalist Hipsters by reverso13

The game crashed a few times right after I got the first two hipsters and stepped out the door.

I don't much enjoy the dialogue, but the graphics are very nice!

the dialogue skipped forward too quickly. Nice unique take on the theme

I have uploaded a zip with the game. It works better if you download it :)

Hm, I didn't know there's such a term as "minimalist hipster" #TIL #LD48 #YOLO

I agree that the dialog runs too fast. I love how the screen shakes as the axe hits the ground, really gives that heavy impact feel.

Interesting take on the theme.

The dialog was a bit vulgar for the competition. I could see some folks being offended.

This was a lot of fun, one of the most fun I've played so far. It had some good laughs.

As for the complaints about the dialog, maybe replacing the offending words with viking words that start with the same letter?

Entertaining subversion of the theme, I like it. Gameplay itself felt satisfying, if not a little floaty. I felt like an angry viking would feel a bit more heavy.
All in all great fun though.

Thanks for the comments.
There was no intention to offend anybody with the dialogs, I'm sorry if that happened. As english is not my main language I didnt realize how bad it sounds. I will try to delete the last part somehow ;)

Hmm...I can see where some of the other commenters are coming from, but the game promised vikings, blood, and skulls, and it did deliver...overall, it was pretty fun and a well put-together entry!

That was needlessly violent, and funny. Attacking didn't seem to work half the time when I jumped which was a little frustrating. Happened most often right at the apex of a jump (when trying to attack the door). As the ground raised up it got a lot easier.

I must be cursed by the random number generator. Twice in a row I got a level with an impossible first jump.

Loved the humor, I thought for a second we were going to play the hipsters but to my delight we get to kill them!

If it fails try to download it from the link. That version works ;)
It has something to do with the website is hosted in I guess..

Ahi, reventando la puerta de Doraemon :D Esta gracioso el concepto y el rollete de usar las colinas para pegarle al portal!

Lo que mas me ha gustado es la musica :)

Odin is a minimalist hipster! Odin is pissed off!

Loved it! Great work, love the music & the style. Axing hippies ftw.

Ah ! Nice game.
The gameplay is a bit simple but it works pretty well.
The dialog goes to fast for reading them, sad :(.

Here I was thinking our game would be the only one with a hipster in it :) I dig it!

GREAT MUSIC!

Obviously, this is a crowd-pleaser, but I felt that the RAGE could have felt more RAGEy -- I need air-dash and power-slams!

Still, hard not to like.

Hahaha, awesome! The movement felt a little weird though imo, maybe try turning up the acceleration, air resistance and friction? Otherwise a fun and cheeky game, nice use of the theme!

Being a viking and killing minimalist hipsters with an axe... It's impossible to dislike it!

Was a bit of fun for a while, felt like it needed more tie to the theme and the dialogue was a bit too fast and jarring for my tastes, but it's something that's more personal methinks. Do love the animation style, it certainly has a cartoony, not serious vibe to it! I dig it :).

Bonus points for humour - the 8-bit style sounds were nice. I thought the hipsters would fight back - maybe if you work on it post-jam - hipsters could hurl projectile coffee or moustaches.

Quite funny. A bit too much on the dialogue. The loss screen gave me a chuckle "Oden became a hipster".

Nice artwork and music. Took a minute to figure out that I was supposed to be attacking the door. Great sense of humor on this one, and the first cross between hipsters and vikings that I've seen.

Very funny theme you got for your game... After destroying the door some times it gets pretty dull, but the art style and humour makes mi smirk ;) the background music is very cool

Craziest game idea so far! Cool and fun game, except a little short.

Very nice pixel art, congratulations!

It froze for a couple seconds during the same time the other commenters were complaining about. Not sure what that's about. Overall, entertaining game!
