How does your game fit the theme?
Instead of playing as the classic thug beating up enemies (good guys or bad) you're a thug tasked with cleaning up his act and restoring his reputation.

I really enjoyed playing it! It has a nice story and rather good graphics. It reminds me of some rather old games which I forgot what their names are. Well Done!
Thank you so much! Our artists worked very hard on the presentation. We all loved River City Ransom growing up, so that was a huge inspiration.
Very cool concept. The connection between the simple "story" and the gameplay was very strong. The art was very good, both the pixel art (I appreciated the difference in color palette between the beat-em-up page and the minigames) and the intro animatics looked polished.
One problem, however, is the lack of directions. I understand that you guys weren't able to put the directions into the game, but even the directions on the game's page are lacking certain details. I put together that the "anger meter" fills up over time and increases quicker when you hit enemies, leading to a game over. I'm not sure if the punch has any practical use. Even after interacting with everything I tried (the white-shirt citizen and the girlfriend), I could not get the top meter filled up (which I'm assuming you must fill to continue or reach the ending.) Either I'm doing one of these mini-games wrong or I'm missing something.
Either way, despite those issues I have, this game is very well put together and it seems to me that the contributions from each of the members of your teams blend into each other really nicely. I see a lot of potential, so I'll follow you as it seems like you're considering continuing development on this project.
Good job and good luck :)
I restarted the level about 10 times becasue I kept getting "Reputation Destroyed." I figured out how to move and punch, but that's about it. I have no idea how to win this game, who is on my side, what the meter bars in the top left mean, or any other controls this game may have. A tutorial or guide or something, anything would have been much appreciated. The art and kind of anime style was great though, I was a big fan of that. Especailly the beginning cut scenes. The music was cool too.
hey Andrew! The control instructions are on the game
Page. Unfortunately we didn’t have time to put them in the actual game itself. Hope you’ll give it another try.
