Great stuff, love the art style. Only thing I'd ever add to it is one or two more keys for combos but you could make this a mobile game easily.
I really liked it! The pixel art, character design, and animations are excellently crafted. The music complements the game perfectly, adding to its overall charm. Great job!
Great game, the graphics are simple but effective and the gameplay is really good.
The music is really cool. I got stuck at one point in the game with the flying enemy (I played the executable version).
Apologies for any bugs, but you can press R at any time to restart.
1"33 after i figured out you could throw lmao
Great timing and thanks for playing :)
my best was 1"44. awsome experience, combat on the train reminded me of wonderful 101 and there was an intensity about the game i really appreciated
Nice and brutal, I love it!
Died in the tutorial 3 times, and the level passed on the first try lol. I like this game.
fantasitic style, punchy, and fun really great experience
Minimalist graphics! Confidence in design! BLOOD! Strong visual identity and even stronger gameplay. The twist of life drain was a nice touch.
The tutorial was well done though I think the ending was bugged and I had to restart to proceed. A few bugs here and there with hit detection on enemy attacks and my character not dying at an empty life bar but given everything else going on not a bad problem. I do think the 2 kinds of dodge alerts should have their colors changed to be more distinct but they are at least different shapes.
This game is a great example for others that you can achieve great graphics and gameplay in a limited timeframe if you just focus on what matters. I would absolutely come back and play this again if there were more levels or variety!
Hey thanks for playing and for the feedback :)
Although I should probably clarify that if you took a hit and you were still alive, you're life bar probably wasn't empty.
Anything around 5 hp or lesser looks like the bar is at 0. I'm not too sure how to fix that yet tbh.
But either way, thank you for playing :). Apologies for some of the bugs
Now this is special. Combo systems are always fun and the soundtrack really pairs well with the fast paced gameplay here. This is one those games where you can really see the vision and passion behind it, and I could easily imagine this developing into a full release.
Gameplay is S-tier and I really wish there was more to play because I could literally go for hours here. You did an amazing job and should be very proud!
i really liked it, the combat system is super cool, i just wish it was longer. maybe a full release is the future of redline express, i could see it
Nice and violent, really fun!
I am not super into the beat em up genre but the mechanics that are implemented to dodge and combo are smooth and satisfying. I think it is difficult to juggle all the mechanics but again I might just be a small brained non-fighting game player so I cant hold it against you.
The graphics and music compliment the fast paced environment well and are excellently made.
Congrats on the release
Thank you for playing and for the feedback :)
but I just want to make it clear that I didn't make the music lol.
That's from Pixabay ( mentioned the links in the game's page )
everything about this is awesome
Gamefeel is good, looks great
One issue I have is just that there are so many inputs I just end up completely stop using some, even if the game tries to make you use them
For example, you can dodge enemies by using both the jump and the dash, but you actually get hit sometimes with the dash, so I just didn't bother using it anymore
Maybe unlocking abilities with time could have been great, but I understand it wasn't really possible with the limitations of the jam and the length of the game
fuck man that's brutal!
very fun beat em up game like the oldschool classics such as double dragon. nice pacing!
Very fun game! I didn't played the tutorial at first so I didn't know about the dash or grab, but it was still fun! got a C
Fast, snappy and juicy, could have easily played more levels, great mechanics!
Beat it in 2:18 on my second try. I'm not that good at beat 'em ups, but I got the hang of it decently well & had fun. Maybe the regaining of health was a bit too forgiving, but in general I think the balance was good.
The art is great as always, and I love the setting. For some reason games that take place on a moving vehicle just hit different, even though I know that gameplay-wise it makes literally no difference. I also like how you used the tutorial setting to establish some backstory/narrative.
Overall, a great game!
