Melee Man is a collaboration between myself and David vs Goliath. We built this game in under a week! The game is rendered at 160x144 (Gameboy Color resolution) and features addictively brutal gameplay elements and 2 beastly boss rooms.

Melee Man features the retro stylings of Daniel Davis. Daniel is making waves in the USA chiptune scene with his blend of timeless melodies and mathematical rhythms... using only an original GameBoy as his instrument!

Controls:
A/D or Arrow Keys to Move
W, Up Arrow, C or J to Jump
S, Down Arrow, Z or K to Shoot
R to Retry
M to Mute

UPDATES

10/31/2011 - I moved some levels around and fixed a few major complaints that people had. Really great feedback, guys! Keep it coming. :)

10/31/2011 (2) - Fixed a bug wherein the boss on level 15 had more health than intended. He should now die after the 8th hit. Thanks as always for your continued support and feedback. :)

11/13/2011 - Fixed a bug where levels would not load for certain users. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, everyone! Let me know if any of you still have problems.

Awesome game!

I had a lot of fun with this game. I didn't think it was too short or too difficult. I especially liked the fact how the bonus levels had you think outside the box to get all the way to the end and made you question whether or not a spike pit lay in wait at the bottom of that jump. Level 15 was also difficult, but that's just because I suck and have a tendency to second guess my jumps and turn right into a death pit. There was even an instance where I killed the boss and went to get the key and fell to my death. Talk about a bad day. Amazing game and deserving of a 10. Great Job and Keep up the amazing work!

I loved it

The only flaw I could find with this game is that it was too short, and the only reason I thought that was because I was having so much fun playing it. Good game play, I like the graphics(maybe because I was and still am fond of the good old 8-bit games), and I LOVE the music. This game makes me want to pull out the old nintendo and crack out on some megaman.

Good..not great

While reading some comments, I find that all of my generation is reminded of the good old days (when game controllers had less buttons than a computer keyboard). I gotta say, the game itself wasn't half bad. In fact it was kinda good. The music took me back to the pre 64-bit days. This is a good thing. The only real disappointments for me were 2 things:
1) WAY too short.
2) Not much melee for a game called melee man. The only weapon was ranged.

The short and sweet: Make it longer and either change the name or the weapon. XD

Dear Kakuzu13

When i looked on your page it said you were a 14 year old boy, I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe you don't like this game because you were to busy playing COD like most 14 year old boys. I really enjoyed this game because it was a basic shoot and jump game while the music reminded me of when I played sega genesis when i was actually younger than you but i still had the simple joy of this game. I'm pretty sure half of newgrounds games are simple games that bring happiness and joy in playing while others bring you deeply into the game with an amazing story or gameplay. While people like you (mostly snotty upperclass kids with four ipads and a golden toilet seat that wipe your own ass for you) complain about quality.
