This demo showcases our vision for a new hybrid genre we call the brawlformer: a mix of classic beat ’em up action, side-scrolling exploration, and skill-based combat filled with combos and style.

This is a work in progress, and many elements are still under development, so any feedback is welcome as we shape what’s coming next.

Esta demo muestra nuestra visión de un nuevo género híbrido al que llamamos brawlformer: una combinación de la acción clásica de los beat ’em up, la exploración lateral y un combate técnico lleno de combos y estilo.

Es una experiencia en desarrollo y aún quedan muchos componentes por desarrollarse, por eso todo feedback es bienvenido de cara a lo que construiremos en el futuro.

Please have in mind that the Windows version runs better in performance and the browser version may be unable to detect your gamepad. If you can download the Windows version and play it on your PC or handheld, we strongly recommend to do so. If you are playing in the browser, remember to click the game window to refocus and activate sound.

Ten en cuenta que la versión de Windows tiene mejor rendimiento y que la versión de navegador podría no detectar correctamente tu gamepad. Si puedes descargar la versión de Windows y jugarla en tu PC o dispositivo portátil, lo recomendamos ampliamente. Si juegas en el navegador, recuerda cliquear la ventana del juego para reenfocarlo y activar el sonido.

very cool, love the artstyle, but its unbearably laggy for me (firefox) and also the buttons for each of the moves arent very intuitive. i saw you say in another comment that in the full version youll gain moves as the game progresses, which is a good idea, but its still awkward for my hand to be spread across shift ctrl alt and space, as well as the arrow keys.

bunnybeard responds:

Hi, Muskotter, thanks for playing and we are very grateful of your feedback!
For the performance issues, that's weird, we tested it on different PCs with different browsers, I'm using Firefox right now. But browsers are weird. And they consume a lot of RAM if you have another tabs open, or if they are not updated, or if its wednesday hehe
If you have Windows you can download it here https://bunnybeard.itch.io/hector-demo
About the controls, if you have a gamepad around you can connect it at anytime and it must detect it.
The game is gonna have controls mapping, definitively.

There's a lot of buttons in the game, and I don't really want to do all that :> I guess it's just a skill issue on my part. A bit laggy too, but I think it's just me. Nice tho :)

bunnybeard responds:

Thanks for playing Lance! Your feedback is very appreciated.
There is a lot yes, in the final game you gonna learn them slowly, but we didn't want to make a tutorial demo.
If its laggy maybe you can try with another browser or close other tabs? This things eat a lot of RAM for breakfast.

Pretty fun!

The keyboard controls are a little ungainly I will say.

bunnybeard responds:

Oh thanks for playing!
Yes, we promise the final game is gonna have controls remapping hehe
