[W.I.P./Development Thread] Fruiticide [8-bit Beat 'em up like the good old ones]

[Itchy-Games]

Hi there!

My name´s Jonay Rosales González and Starting my second “serious” game for release on WINDOWS/MAC/Linux, Mobile devices and tablets (future will reveal which more platforma).

About the game:

• Fruiticide is a 2D beat 'em up with all the technical features that 8-bit games had (Nes 8-bit graphics, chiptune music, easy controls but challenging difficulty, etc.), but with a bizarre ambience and “plot”(for call it anyway…).

Sinopsis:

Tropikanna was a beautiful city near the coast where their citizens (that are fruits and desserts, no kidding) lived peacefully… until a misterious wave of dissapearance and murders destroys it. The actors of these horryfing acts are illegal juice traders: they kill the fruits and sell their juice in the black market.

Pineknuckles and Cococrunch, rivals time ago, had missed their love one because of that situation, claim revenge and promise to kill every ‘FRUITICIDE’ they find.

Gameplay Features:

• 2D beat 'em up like the old good days. Easy to control, but really challenging as no one.

• 8-bit like-NES visuals and audio.

• 2 player local on-line CO-OP mode (even on mobile and tablet devices. maybe on-line coop will be released on a later free update for these platforms…)

• prepare your knuckles for go betweens 8 stages full of ‘Fruiticides’ and bosses for crunch their skulls (on a figured way…)

• 3 bonus levels for enjoy between levels

• 3 difficulty levels: choose your challenge…

• Survival mode: fight until the end!!!

• “Fruiticide” mode: do you think that you´ve won? the real challenge just only begun…

Screenshots (Mockups at the moment…):

ETA: June 2013?
