Cyber Butcher by Infininete
Cyber Butcher puts you in the shoes of your average everyday metroidvania boss. Our idea for this game was
to experience the game how the bosses of videogames would experience it in realtime, eg. players browsing
inventory for potions or pausing the game and going for a dinner in the middle of the fight. The boss (the player)
would be in no control during these events. Sadly we had no time to emphasize on this and we had to take a few
shortcuts there and there to get the game packed in time. Another bright idea was also to include some "hilarious"
dialogue which exaggerates the frustration of the boss character with cheesy one liners and f-bombs, you might
hear some of them although they might not be set up as intended.
Oh well it turned out pretty good for what it was worth, check it out :)

Bug Fixes -----
uncommented line "theWorld.Add(z)" that was commented out at line 651 Hero.cpp (thus no throwables !)
Commented out platform jump (caused other machines to crash)
Moved "If ( health < 0 ) Killed()" to top of function (caused other machines to crash)

great job
The game crashed a few times for me.
I love it and the set of colours that you used!
It took a lot to get the controls.. Don't know why! D:
BTW nice entry! :D
There is no end to the game right?
Keep up the good work!
The gameplay is slow and ultra simplistic here, I didn't really know when I was hitting the player or not. With the only goal being to stay alive, I felt a bit bored after a bit.
I have a big complaint though, the audio got to my nerves really quickly. Relying on cursing for humor is somewhat abrasive and I think some people might be offended by some of the samples.
Due to the contrast, nothing gets too unclear and everything, as far as i saw, stayed nicely readable.
