This game is broken and will receive a post-Jam patch


This project does not contain any use of A.I. or of any other automated generative software. All assets, music, artwork and concepts were made solely by humans.


Inspired by Hotline Miami, this game seeks to create a thrilling, high action atmosphere as the player tears through waves of enemies, all armed to the teeth, though the player themselves uses only close-quarters weaponry. Both enemies and the player character die in one hit, so be fast and think on your feet!


Interpretation of Game Jam Theme "LOOP":

Upon being hit by an enemy attack, instead of immediately dying, the player will be granted a "rewind", lasting ten seconds at most, consequently allowing them to repeat that same scenario, now with a better knowledge as to enemy layouts and potential attacks to avoid, ensuring that the gameplay experience is as fluid and as non-interrupted as possible.


The player will only be granted a limited amount of rewinds, signified by a VHS icon in the corner of the screen. Once the VHS breaks, the player has run out of rewinds, indicating that their next death will be a permanent one, leading to a Game Over.


The theme of "Loop" is also implemented in the level design, which loops around itself as the player progresses through the level, searching for special items (Cassette Tapes), which will allow the player to acquire special upgrades.


Furthermore, in order to progress on the game, the player must also repeat the same level multiple times, getting better at it each time, in order to find all the special items located therein, creating a gameplay loop (if you'll pardon the pun) based on repetition and honing of the player's skills.

Hi there ! First of all, just wanted to say that the game was a little hard to play and to figure out the controlers, and I got imortal after trying again LOL. But i think this is seriously a really good idea! I just loved the music, total banger ! besides, I hope this idea can grow up and become a huge project ! Hotline miami is one of my favourite games and I loved the vibes it gave. just a question: what's about all those yellow blocks ? and why is the theme based on old west style ? 

I can't figure out the controls. How do I attack?

Hi there!

I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with the controls. You attack by hovering the mouse over the enemy or yellow, movable object, then pressing the left mouse button.


Hope this helps!
