"While scaling the city skyscrapers to rid the city of the evil insect
plague, you better shoot well and accurately because the fall is a long way
down." -Action 52 Manual
It is finally here. City of Doom is now complete.

In case you didn't see before, City of Doom is another Action 52 Remake like our previous game Mash Man (see for details about the Action 52 Owns project).
Here is the video of the ORIGINAL City Of Doom game on the Action 52 cartridge:
Hopefully you will find our take on the game a bit more enjoyable than the original.
A few more screenshots from our version of the game:

Nice game, i love the Game Boy Look! :)
ReplyDeleteWhich engine / tool / language was used to make this game? I need this information for my german indiegames site www.zockerperlen.de
I love me some Action 52 remakes (my review of a few of the betters ones).
ReplyDeleteGiving this one a try.
Thanks for trying our game!
ReplyDelete@Stefan: The game was written in C++ with openGL using my own game engine. We used the tile level editor I originally wrote for our other game, Grand Feather, to design the levels.
Great game!
ReplyDeleteBut, the controls are hard. It is difficult when there is many enemy on the screen, to know when fire, when move AND remember that if you move you can`t shoot. Because there isn't a save it makes the game kinda cruel.
On the second boss I couldn't see the bullets before was too late (the bullets that are on the boss are invisible) loosing 6~8 lives just because of that.
BUT, this game is very nostalgic and fun to play, it is really like I am playing an old game, but a MUCH BETTER game than the original.
Also, I liked how you guys re-design the game, the art, the mechanics and the concept.
Very nice game! I love it! Retro and very funny and cool... But, after I kill the second Boss, the game closes alone. This isn't normal... right?
ReplyDeleteNice game, I like the graphics. The controls take a while to master, but it's not a problem.
ReplyDeleteOne question, how do I change back from fullscreen to windowed?
Thanks for the comments everyone!
ReplyDelete@Matheus: The game isn't supposed to crash. A few people have been having some crashing errors that I'm looking into at the moment.
@Randomasta: There isn't a way to change back to windowed besides exiting and then reopening.
Thanks for playing!
So basically, I have the same problem as matheus, but mine only shows a white box and then closes.
ReplyDeleteLove it. Awesome! Great work Shark Arm Bros!
