Title: Bullet Bros, a Tribute to Contra and Other Classics. Post by: Stokes on November 15, 2013, 12:27:33 PM Hello everyone,
I wanted to share a new game I've been working on for the past year. Bullet Bros is a throwback to classic games like Contra, Super Mario 3, Bionic Commando and Blaster Master. It started out as an exercise to combine some of my favorite game mechanics together to see if they could co-exist. From there I switched everything over to a physics-based environment, and some really fun and unexpected things started to take shape.

How do the two Bros join up, in your video the top half falls into place on the legs, is this the only way of joining up, or does it happen automatically when the two halve meet? Title: Re: Bullet Bros, a Tribute to Contra and Other Classics. Post by: DrunkDevs on November 21, 2013, 07:58:40 AM I saw this game mentioned in the YoYoGames Game Maker spotlight. This game is so complicated, and crazy. I don't know how you made all the in game maker, but kudos. :handclap:

Yes, currently as long as the torso is above the legs and colliding they will link automatically. The other "Bro Links" will require each player to input the same command within a small frame window but I wanted this to happen easier since Its more of a last resort maneuver.

Post by: Stokes on December 05, 2013, 01:50:01 PM Hello everyone, I released an early press demo a few days ago so if you want to check it out you can download it here or on the Kickstarter page.
