DUDE HARDCORE

ALIENS have invaded the Earth and are using blown NUCLEAR REACTORS as their base of operations. The radiation of the reactors is causing the SPACE-TIME CONTINUUM to become UNSTABLE, causing massive DANGEROUS ANOMALIES around them! Humanity's last chance at saving the planet is to send the only man, DUDE HARDCORE, who is hardcore enough to deal with EXTREME SITUATIONS like this!

:video_game: Controls

  • :gun: Aim and Shoot - Mouse 1
  • :runner: Move - WASD
  • :arrows_counterclockwise: Dodge roll - Space

:trophy: Objective

Kill all enemies and move to the next stage. Just watch out that the NUKE on your back doesn't explode!

Due to hardcore scope creep we didn't have time to make music, so we used music by ISAo at Open Game Art

Sound effects by us.

Really cool game. The idea of changing the trajectory of bullets is a good one. The visuals and music are nice. Congratulations, good job!

Good intro and story and the controls were nice and simple. The first level was great. The second level was really really really hard. Maybe consider dialing the hardness down a tiny bit even for DUDE HARDCORE (great name).

Love the concept! The game itself is really polished. Love the dialogue, FX and music. Would also love if the dodging would push you in a direction to make it really feel good, and also if there were just a bit more clear indications on what to do. I got stuck on the first level for a few minutes because I didn't know I had to destroy the turret. It was fun otherwise!

When I started duplicating and teleporting, it certainly felt unstable ;). Great job!

Every room is like a separated puzzle. Would like to see how mechanics are re-used

Dude was indeed Hardcore. There was quite a lot of talking at the start for someone named Hardcore. I'd like to bust on in there and kick down doors. Like the heavy cannon ball explosive things you shoot they felt weighty.

Whoa, this is really nice! Enjoyed a lot what you did with the projectile warping, and the whole game looks very polished for a game jam! Nice music, dialogues and game mechanics working great!

Really nice! Had a blast. The fields making copies of my character confused me a bit. Loved the controls.

Really well done! The graphics were all really well made. The gameplay was intense, fast and fun. Loved the final boss. Great humour as well. Awesome Game!

The game is fun to play! The mini boss at the end was hard but the difficulty was nicely balanced, maybe the sounds should be more equalized. The graphics are nice also!
Watch out for the typo at the end (or maybe I missed a joke :D) "being as hardcode as he is".

The learning curve was HARDCORE, DUDE! Really a fun game though, even if it took me way too many tries to beat it.

Heh! That was awesome! I mean, if my first thought on beating it is that I wanna play it again, you probably have something very special here.

Those anomalies certainly make this feel more unique. It was fun to experiment them to see what they do.

Really fun!
The story is hilarious, DUDE HARDCORE sure is HARDCORE!
I'm not sure if it's intended, but you can ignore the spawns on the boss room and just focus the boss.

I liked it. It was entertaining and playing enter the gungeon helped me to understand the mechanics already :smile:. Good job!
