Thanks!
Easily one of my favourite games on NG now.
I'm going to be honest here I was just expecting another OK brawler but it completely went against my expectations. The graphics are great and totally match the game play even though I was a little turned off by it at first. The game play itself was amazing, you didn't go down the normal root and aim with the mouse like every game does nowadays instead you went with arrow key aiming which is hard at first but it is easy to get use to over a short amount of rime. Another thing was the interactivity of the levels which was amazing, such as the ability to hit items at the enemy which was a master stroke. On a slightly negative side maybe you could include NG medals in the future and maybe add a multi player but other than that 10/10.

Thanks a lot, I'm glad that people don't seem to mind the shooting mechanic even though it's a bit unconventional. :)
Definitely has problems
The game doesn't cater to new players at all. The challenges are practically impossible and the levels themselves are much too chaotic. Half of the things you stand on or touch can and probably will kill you from it exploding. Also, the game dwells more on luck than it does on skill. I can never seem to get a good starting spot in the challenges and the COM happens to be directly next to an arsenal of lethal weapons.
The game also feels extremely brutish. If you get a melee weapon, your opponent is pretty much screwed considering the amount of damage and stun they do. The cover ability also feels useless when the only things you can cover on are movable or explosive. It could have been incorporated into the game a lot smoother.
All in all, you took a perfect control set and perfect graphics, then put it into a brutish fighter where a lot of it's potential was lost.

Thanks for your review! I have updated the author comments in an attempt to dispel the misconception that this game is somehow supposed to be FAIR. ;)
A wonderful pixal brawler!
For its simple design and blocky graphics, this pixel brawler can be played without any problems, the controls are easy to learn and the retro-charme of this game immedeatly catches your eye. The aiming of the guns is suprisingly easy to handle and yet it takes some skill to use it properly, a nice challange for the players! A Oe problem however is the zooming of the map and the size of the players. When zoomed out yo sometimes don't see weapons popping, thus you might miss a gun spawning eve right next to you, I suggest adding maybe a read boder around the weapon to make spotting these easier. The strengh of the Ai is fair and challenging and with some effort every stage is able to be done. All in all I give you an 8 out of 10 and a 4/5. For a 9/10 and 5/5 you should fix said problems and then you can call it a real old-school brawler!

We're very glad you liked it! Good points about the size too, we might want to improve the visibility of things.
so silver level 2. 1 shotgun hit on me -50% life??
Playing through after bronze the single player mode gets pretty much impossible for me. i unloaded a shotgun point blank didnt kill the guy got him to like 20% but no kill. he was the entire screen away and shot me in the upper level and took away half a full life bar. One more shot i was dead. I tried to roll i tried to dive no good. I tried every trick even the bullet time i was lucky to get in previous levels a knock down into instant death zones after over 100 attempts to beat it. These stages as well as later stages according to friends get impossible. the fist strength of the enemies seem to increase immensely as if they all took steroids not to say i dont like the game just can you the creator even get through the entire game within a reasonable amount of deaths? 8 different friends all hardcore gamers took over 6 hours each to beat all the levels. thats just torture.
