Somebody's Hero by Starkium

[raw]
made by Starkium for Ludum Dare 46 (JAM)

You don't know who ( or where, why, how, even what for that matter), but somebody out there needs your help! After all why else would bad guys be collectively showing up and trying to put the beat down on you? So GET OUT THERE AND SAVE... whoever (potentially?) needs you!

I loved the mood and the atmosphere that you were able to create. The faceless protagonist getting randomly attacked while running through the streets felt right with the dark backgrounds and the dynamic lighting.

The unfortunate part was that I wasn't able to hit anyone reliably. I think I only beat one enemy in all my playthroughs. I actually ran through the entire game (I think. I made it to a park area with a whole ton of guys in it) and hid behind the barrier where they could only come at me one at a time. I would punch the guy and the guy behind him would get hit. I'm not sure what I was doing wrong.

Music was excellent. Had a cyberpunk feel to it. The whole thing reminded me of Shadowrun for the Sega Genesis.

I'll be making a patch at some point. @minibobbo @mehrdadsh

I loved working on this project and I think I'll keep it going. Not sure how far I'll take it, but I've been interested in trying this kind of setting out.

Nice atmosphere, but it didn't seem like there was much to do. It also lagged pretty badly on my computer (although *it* is pretty old, so...). I made it to the park, only for the attackers (and me) to find out that I can't die.
