Using her cybernetic enhancements, Jane tries her hand at vigilante justice to help wipe out crime on Crime Dragon Planet! But those cybernetic arms of hers are STRONG, so she better watch how hard she hits or she might get into trouble with the fuzz!

Post your best scores in the comments!

QWERTY Controls:

WASD or ARROWS to move.

P or X to attack (combine with W/UP or S/DOWN for special attacks).

SPACEBAR to jump or double jump.

Mechanics: In the upper left corner is your power meter. It charges constantly! The higher is is, the stronger your attacks. Attacking reduces it.

Enemies have red health and blue health. If an enemy has red health left, they will still be able to fight! If they only have blue health, they will collapse in a heap and await arrest. If you knock out an enemy's blue health, they will die, and you'll draw the attention of the Dragon Cops! CD_arrest.gif

With each Fugitive Star comes more and more Dragon Cops. Stars will slowly drain, but once a star fills all the way, you have that star forever! CD_cop.gif

Mr. Drippy's will drop sometimes. They fill up some of your health and also a large amount of your power, so be careful!

Amazing job! This was one of the best looking and most fun ones I've seen so far. I love the blue health/red health mechanic the most.

I loved this! Good character design, interesting mechanics, and good pixel graphics. It was also very hard, so I'm sure there's more depth to it if one doesn't die on wave two. Well done!

I liked the art style and audio a lot ! Really catchy song. I think the game is a bit hard but i'm not a super player so, it's probably my fault. Good job !

Really great art and sound design you got there. The controls are a bit unsatisfying, it's quite hard to reach jump and punch at the same time o.0

Really well done! The art style and the feed back along with the UI and animations is really good. U have the enemies right and the players ability also done well. Would have really appreciated in game tutorial for control, but I guess its stupid of me not to read your description first xD
Overall a solid and good quality product for a Jam!
Anyway all the best!
Pls feel free to play and rate my game: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/split

Love the artwork and animation! The game is hard for me, but that makes me play more and more to achieve a higher score (:
You did an amazing job there (:

Love love love the art style. The controls are strange i'm not sure why, and the combos were a bit weird too, maybe because of stamina that i forgot about. The animations on the enemies were a bit lacking but overall the game was very pretty and made for some quick fun.

Cool idea, and great execution. The graphics are good, and the music is catchy but not invasive. Very well done!

Awesome little beat em up! The damage amount was difficult to gauge and I end up getting enemies to just a little above the blue bar a lot. Also, I wish there was a way to forcefully diminish your bar other than attacking.

Very nice game, good graphics and very retro style, i like it !
I think policeman have a too long range so they beat us very easely compared to us.
Great game ! :smile:

This was easily my favourite so far, and I'm so glad I got to play. The art and sound were perfect and the combat felt great. No more typing for me - back to fighting dino's!

Love the visual and the feels! The only thing that felt wrong was having to kill the police after killing the bandits. Somehow doesn't felt like a very coherent action for a protagonist who seems to be avoid killing. Maybe just knocked out? Anyway, awesome work <3

Man those cops hit hard! :p
I wasn't able to fight a good strategy for surviving past wave 2.
But I am also bad at such games, so no wonder. :)

Very polished game though. :)

Loved it :)

Great pixel art ! the animations are simple yet really effective, the feedback on the hits is good.
I really loved the music a lot too, it really has a lot of energy and serves the gameplay well. I'll definitely check your bandcamp after that.

The only black point for me is that i use a french keyboard, so it felt more intuitive for me to use the arrows, but not being able to jump using the top arrow felt weird.

But that left aside i really enjoyed that game a lot.

Great job !!

Amazing, 5 out of 5! The only thing I would improve is that since the power level is much more important for gameplay decisions than the player's health, I would swap the two bars to make it easier to see whether we're about to accidentally murder a poor plushy dragon thug.
