For hundreds of years, England has repulsed its viking invaders. Despite their crazy beards and wicked axes, vikings have never been able to conquer this small island. So how could a bunch of tea-sipping pansies stop the manliest army the world has ever seen?

Because vikings didn't have bazookas, that's how.

Until now!




Viking Bazooka Bloodbath will be a fast-paced 2d fighter/platformer where you get to slaughter endless hordes of English knights and bowmen.

The game is essentially complete, consisting of four game modes and three arenas. At this point, I don't have time to add much more content, but I can still make small changes, so make sure you share your thoughts!

Move and jump with the arrow keys, and attack with 'z' and 'x'. Don't get hit twice in a row, or its game over.

If, for some reason, that version doesn't work, you can download a slightly older version here.

I want, like, 1000 of your babies.

I want, like, 1000 of your babies.

...and a bazooka.

I like how you opted for historical accuracy. Great beard, too!

[Soulliard]

I like how you opted for historical accuracy.

Sure. It's educational.

The formation of the still-living knights on that image looks kinda like the shape of Britain, minus Northern Ireland.

What's this? Is it a laser shotgun bazooka?

Words cannot describe my current emotions. Emoticons were designed for just that:

Uh, um, yes WOW! I want to play this, like, so HARD!

This NEEDS ragdolls.

You may have noticed that in the earlier screen shots there's no HUD. There won't be one. I've moved away from a standard hit point system and created something I think is superior for this game.

When hit, you're considered hurt for about half a second. During that time, any additional hits will kill you. In other words, no single hit can kill you; only two consecutive hits in a short time frame will cause your death. This should promote riskier play, since one little mistake will probably not have any lasting consequences.

[Soulliard]

Of course, the bazooka can fire more than one type of shot.

I've finished a demo which includes most of the game's core mechanics. Check it out and tell me what you think.

I don't know if this is your programming genius or chaotic dynamics but the controls for this are so sick it's great.

Please let some knight bodies stack up.

Love that the beam shot pushes you back off of platforms.

Sometimes the viking can stand in mid-air just off the edge of platform. Tried to get a screenshot for you but I kept dying too quickly and going to the high-score .

I can't wait for sound.
