Love the style. The knife guys are very hard to beat though :)

Absolutely, they are, you're right. Thanks for the feedback, @philarmon. :)
We would have loved to add a hint that you can beat them by attacking them from behind, but we didn't get to that in time.
We'll definitely work on that guy when we make a new version. :D

Nice work on the graphics, very gritty game. The knife are doable once you learn to go through them and "backstab" them but with running enemies it becomes really tough on the second level. Solid entry.

Fun game, I really liked the grungy atmosphere. It kind of had a reverse difficulty curve but that's appropriate given the theme. That shotgun is good shit. Props to the artists too, this game has a lot of character.

Art is amazing, audio is great and the game is really fun! Really nice job.

Pixel art is really cool, I love the style of graphics

Nice pixel art and a great protagonist. Tough to hit the running guy with a bottle.

Art and audio are great! Wish there are more motions.

Didn't manage to get through the 3 knife guys. Awesome street of rage mood. Love the music!!! Good work!

Funny and charming pixel art. Hobo games unite!

Good job, great pixel art. Fun gameplay.

Nice entry and has already said pixel art fit very well. Good job team keep it up !

Great game, especially that text animation is truly beautiful. I like the art style a lot! I thought the controls were a little confusing at first, but it was fine as soon as I was used to them.

Excellent pixel art and well thought out!


Nice game!

Cool graphics and animation. The gameplay really liked, interesting and really complex enemies. But the guys with knives are certainly too complicated)

<3 love it bro

Very nice pixel art and I really like the idea. Found it very frustrating to beat the knife guys though - even after seeing the hint in the comments here to attack from behind... just they always turned around too quickly and I couldn't dodge because there was a delay to jumping or moving after I had hit (or so it seemed).

But, I really liked the art, the music and the idea of it all.

@realitycheck yeah the knife guys are tricky. Don't jump but pass them by walking. Did you make it to the endboss though?

Just for the title that is a solid 5 for humour, but then the execution is awesome the graphics follow along and it keeps going, it's great, but better than that, it's hobo. Hobo parents would be proud

@xarras thank you very much. We are glad you liked it. Did you beat the boss? ;)

That accursed Stoseph Jalin! Of course! I should have known! XD
Fun game, enjoyed it a lot :) Had to redo the first section about 3 times until I figured out you can walk through enemies... I was trying to jump behind the knife guys XD.

@magnanix yeah the knife guys are pretty hard to beat.

It's a pretty solid game. Good job, guys! Didn't notice any bugs, runs solid, even via wine on Linux ;) Nice art and music. Music is my favorite, so far.
Difficulty curve is pretty hard here. Since its beat'em'up, it's a good thing :) When I get a bottle, it becomes harder to hit the running guy for some reason. Probably, should have jumped ;)
Overall, it's a solid entry. Thanks for making this game!

Game complete and endboss killed ! Loved the graphics and the music. I apreciate how there actually is a strategy for facing each ennemy. Very good entry congrats!

Damn knife guys! @magnanix I feel you dude. I didn't know you could walk trough them?? I jumped just like you lmao. Was quite difficult due to needing perfect timing. Welp, I guess I'll give it another shot. Of all the games I tried yet this looked the most finished.

The visuals are amazing. The knife guy was very difficult to figure out, took me a couple tries.

solid animations/visuals

The sprite work is really well done! My main issue is at the knife dude. I kept dying to them lol. Other than that, I had a fun playing the game. Great job!

Wow, I loved the game, the visuals are awesome! I would probably buy this game with a little polishing. Great job!

At first is kinda hard to go through due to the knife guys, but once you get the hang of it and the bottle or the shotgun the game difficulty drop considerably.

While in this subject, i found the controls a little unresponsive, leading to many of my deaths. I dont know exactly how to detail this, they just felt strange to me.

In the other hand, the graphics and audio are amazing. Even with a team is impressive the job done in 72 hours.

Congrats on an excellent job!

Great graphics, nice sound, witty narrative but difficulty at the beginning is kinda frustrating. Would be better to make it possible to somehow avoid damage from knife-guys.

@paulo-brunassi wow man, this is a nice commentary. Makes me proud.

@derek-volker thank you very much for your honest critisism. You are right. The controls could be improved in case of responsiveness. I had/have some struggle as well. If you do something it needs a millisecond before you can do another movement. And I think it is this millisecond, which makes it feel a bit unresponsive.

Thank you both for your comments! Stay tuned ;)

The graphics pretty good (I did not manage to reach the end but I saw the screenshot above which is rather beautiful pixel art, in addition to the two levels I played), as are the animations, the music is catchy, but controls and responsiveness do need some tweaking. Even with the shotgun I had trouble progressing because of the controls that seemed to be lagging… but well I laughed a few times. Loved the “health” bar! 😄

I wasn't able to beat more than one or two of the knife guys before I gave up. They're super hard, and the controls are a bit slow. I often found myself exchanging blows with the knife guys without being able to avoid their attacks. Outside of that though I really enjoyed this entry. The art and music were really well done, and the health bar was a funny gimmick.

This was a cool entry. I wish I could've seen more of it. Nice work!

@samh Healthbar artist here. Thanks, this means a lot to me ;)

@samh thank xou for the report.
@morrilet just do not try to jummp over them but just pass and hit them from behind.

Very well polished game! It's kinda weird you get hit sounds when you attack the air though. Those knife guys took me a while to figure out, but after that it was a lot easier to deal with them. That music is killer too! This is a very well made game. Great job everyone involved!

Also, the game runs great on Wine for linux users :)

Great looking game! Also good story =)

Great game! :) had trouble with the knife guys. I realised that you had to attack from behind but couldnt pull it off due to the delay between the attack and jumping. (or so it seams like).
Also, great music :)

@mad-brokli thank you for your comment. don't jump but just get in their back by walking ;)

That was awesome! <3 Very funny and very pretty, I loved the backgrounds. I was actually jumping behind their backs the whole time but in the end managed to beat the game. But yeah, the knife guys are quite unforgivable, haha.

I think I found a bug. I tried to be clever and was shooting in my walking direction even without enemies, when I got to Stoseph Jalin. My hobo was on the other side of the screen and Stoseph wasn't doing anything, so after dozens of shots he fell down dead XD Only atfer that I moved right and immediately saw a cutscene and then got to fight him again. But well... two deaths of Stoseph Jalin are better than one!

Dang this is a really tough game, I love the art style here. It works really well for that gritty dirty hobo fighting feeling lol. The cigarette being your health bar is such a great little detail I just have to commend it. Great work here, this is actually a really polished beat-em-up!

@brokenmirrormedia thank you very much. the designer of the health bar is very proud of it ;) so he is very happy about your comment ;)
