Story :
2045, the third world war finished a few months ago but some places are still battle zones. The global and massive use of biological weapons killed 90 percent of the humanity and definitly changed the face of nature and engendered mutations on many species.
You play as a samurai recently bit by a mutant fish who will have to defend his village from a raid of punks leaded by their huge mutated green boss.
Gameplay :
Heinkei no Densetsu is a run'n'gun (top view), inspirated by great classic games like Ikari Warriors or Ninja commando .
You will have to find your way to the boss, slashing as many punks as you can and free your people from the cages.
Each time you hit someone, your anger gauge rises. When the "anger gauge" is full, the bite of the mutant fish reveal it's power and turns you into an unbeatable big red monster. When the gauge come back back to zero you comes back to your mortal samurai form.
Ennemies :
Classic punk : They will shoot singles bullets in your direction.
Gatling punk : They will shoot high cadenced gatling bursts in your direction.
Kamikaze punk : They will run on you and blow themselves when they are next to you.
Turret punk : they will shoot spray of bullet in one direction.
Big green boss : it's up to you find your way to him and discover it .
Other things you can shoot at :
Civilians : These are your village people, don't shoot them or you will lose some precious points.
Crabes : You don't exactly know why but you hate them since you are a kid. Shoot them will provide some great points.
Cages : Shooting at it, you will increase you "anger gauge", destroying it you will free some of your people (and one of those sneaky crabes).
Controls :
8 directions
first button : shoot
second button : reboot level
Most of the controllers should work with the downloadable version.

It gets better as it gets greener.
The gameplay could be improved if you could attack in more directions, and the camera could move faster (or at least follow your character better).
Solid work!
restarts the game and I kept restarting by mistake, but I guess that's more my fault. Anyway, awesome graphics, great audio and a fitting mood. I would have to say I expected more from 30 years into the future, but I think this is a great entry nonetheless.
Good luck!
Great game.
Other than that game is awesome, story is in place. Nice!
Here's a screenshot of my 63500 score https://gyazo.com/d5b2f2c4dac428cbf7e98659575e2e4f
Polished, well-realised, engaging gameplay, cool art and sound effects.
Would love to see more of it :)
It is a bit hard to play sometimes. The get killed easy after you are "reborn"
Awesome work. Kudos.
This is fun entry!
I think faster tempo and camera following will be better.
Audio and graphics are awesome!
Nice work!
21700.
I must have killed as much villager as I freed, I kept killing those poor bastard while destroying cages :p
I kinda missed the directional attack, but is just a question of get used to it.
The graphics and audio are unquestionably awesome, and the mood also!
Fantastic work for such a small time!
real nice entry... the fun stuff is in it, and the art and audio is realy good! :)) good job
kinda lacks depth but u have a nice stuff to work on to xDD
Dut you can improve a bit gameplay with:
[*] procedural levels - to improve replayability and surprises!
[*] bonuses - extra life\ instant transform.. or you can add life after X score points, like a Sonic - it's really good idea
[*] em.. you can fix river coasts.. sometimes I stucked into it :(
Here's my best score 48300:

I kept accidentally hitting the restart button.
Nice game, had me hooked a while.
Unfortunately for me, the gameplay does not quite catch up. The screen scrolls too slowly compared to the player speed and the limited range takes a lot of otherwise fast paced fun out of the game. I feel that either shooting upwards full screen or hacking in four directions with limited range would have worked better. Rescuing villagers does not really seem to have that much of an impact.
Don't get me wrong, I totally love this game, but in cases like these where I see a lot of potential for making it even greater, I tend to nitpick a lot which may sound like I have a low opinion of your results. Quite the contrary!
Overall I think you can be proud of your achievement. I could totally see an extended version of this with more in-game story and more variety on Steam in the future.
Love the post-apoc theme! Will come back and find/kill the green boss later!
I think I got 24300 points on my best run!
