Noitu Love 2 - Devolution

The year is 2288. The city is protected by an organization called "The Peacekeepers League" and everything is swell except for that it's under attack! By a robot army lead by professor Darnacus Damnation!! Or is it... ?

100 years after the events of Noitu Love 1 the new star of the Peacekeepers is Xoda Rap, and what she has to endure is a sudden resurrection of the Darn armies, but adding to thatthe city is locally turning to places of the past! What could be causing this?

Using a mouse reticule as a quick-dash-to-enemies and mouse gestures for special moves, Xoda will take on anything that stands in her way in the name of peace! The game shares little in pacing and action to Noitu Love 1. It is more of a continuation on that universe, so expect much more mindless action!

Features:
** 7 wholly different levels
** 3 modes of playing the game
** 3 difficulty levels befitting most players
** Several bosses per level
** Ratings for every level, difficulty and mode
** A bunch of secrets
and more!!

1Up Show Interview
 
Just downloaded and played the demo after watching it and thinking it looked like a cool 2D DS platformer on the 1Up show and it played even better than it looks.

I have high hopes the full game will be just as good, found the first level and a half of the demo a little tricky here and there but I might play on hard if my finger can take it.

Its so so so nice to see something this good lucking in this "retro" pixel art style too.

Just looking at picking it up from his own online store and once I've bought it is that it? Would be nice if it was clear that I could re-download it as much as I wanted, but hey its "20 all going to this cool indie guy. Will defo pick up the full version this weekend.

My mouse finger is absolutely killing me now.

Where were you people when we were hyping it back in the thread for the demo? :lol

:lol

Exactly what I was thinking. :lol

Oh, I found the secret boss. Genius. Is there anyway of beating him without getting the ever loving shit smacked out of you? lol

Fun game folks. He did so much shit right in this, and so much stuff capcom should have done with the recent MM games and DMC4. >.>
 
So this thread needs more love.

Awesome game so far, playing with restricted health (8) on Hard mode. It certainly retains a lot of Side-scrolling action charm, reminds me a lot of Gunstar Heroes, but with a mouse. For all who played the demo and thought that the first level was too simplistic and that you could left-click your way to victory, be warned: the level design and enemies get very crazy, and you're gonna have to learn to move that mouse where you want it to go or else you're gonna get demolished. Oh, and like good old-school side-scrollers, no reloading and only 5 continues. So if you suck, you're toast. Just the way I like it!

Hard mode with 8 health is definitely difficult, and I've gotten as far as level 5 before losing my continues (level 3 boss kicked my ass at first). So yeah, if you are in any way remotely a side-scrolling action fan, buy this game now.
 
i only played the demo. i've never really felt comfortable with 2D scrollers that use the mouse -- just not how i like to play games.

i am really impressed with what he did though. this game was built entirely with a game-maker type program called Multi-Media Fusion 2.

Is this available for Mac as well or just PC?

he'd have to use MMF2's java version, and i'm not sure if he has any plans to do that.
 
All the Mega Man 9 hype reminded me that I need to buy this. So I got it today....this is my GOTY right behind MGS4.

Buy this fucking game. Your PC can run it.
