Metro Gang by invader

[raw]
made by invader for Ludum Dare 45 (JAM)

You start alone with $0 and an ambitious goal to control the city. It is time to gain some respect on the hood!

Travel between metro stations and look for money and respect.

Beat out money from locals and other gangs and persuade them to join your cause!

Play Post-Jam Metro Gang (wtih gamepad support and updated 'exit-metro' mechanics)

Play Original Metro Gang

Supports local coop with 2 players! (two parts of a keyboard for now, pads are coming!)

Controls:

1st Gang:

Cursor keys: movements, jump and block

Left Shift: punch or dash

Hold Left Shift to get out on the nearest metro station

2nd Gang:

WASD: movements, jump and block

Right Shift/Space: punch or dash

Hold Right Shift/Space to get out on the nearest metro station

Tips: * Each gang has a different colored train * The goal of the metro screen is just to hop off the train. The initial battle is just a demo skirmish * Hold punch to get out on the nearest metro station * Your train is in the color of your gang * A station is captured, when your gang has more money then others * Each captured station gives your gang +1 mob and money * At first, don't stop at stations occupied by other gangs (they are colored) - wait other mobs to join your gang. * Move with punch to dash several mobsters at once!

Funny little game :slight_smile:
I liked the minimalist graphics. Too bad there is no music.

I love you insane graphics! Gameplya was a bit hard at first. I was not able to undestand how to fight and capture station. Also - does your game have friendly fire?

I wasn't sure what the goal was, but I like the graphics, also I think I was beating up my own guys at one point?

the graphics and sfx are really cool and cute.the movement and fighting is really good but the only problem is it can be abit confusing who you are and what your doing really fun though.not sure how it follows the theme but ok

The game is really confusing and I couldn't really understand what I was doing. Just figuring out which character was mine was really hard. The idea is good, but I think you should work on your feedbacks.

Cool! Very nice concept! I would like to see this expanded more :D seems like a nice chance to mash up a management and beat-em-up game!

It was seriously confusing to me. Most of the time I had no idea who I'm really controlling and who I'm punching :wink:

For some reason your game isn't playing on the Brave Browser. It works on Firefox, though.
It has very good graphics, but I found very confusing. I got coins, but I kept with zero dollars? I'm not even sure if I understood it right...

It took a while to understand how to get people on my side and criteria for taking over a gang. The post-jam version worked for me. The original, I would never get the money, but after I tried spamming the dropped gang members until their colour turned to mine.

Great art. Good animation on the characters too.

The selection screen with the metro was cool. Somehow I managed to get into a fight - sometimes there was a lot of people sometimes there was just me and one other person. The fight was simple and straightforward - but it was hard for me to figure out what the relationship was to the metro screen.

Keep it up!

Good game but it's hard to see who I play so he should have a different color or something like that

This has a lot of potential. It took me a while to understand what was supposed to happen. The thing is that the main menu is too complicated to understand and it's also hard to figure out who you'll be controlling. Other than that the general premise is quite interesting. Keep on working on this.
