Hello TigSourcers

Let me introduce you to FranknJohn, the strange product of a mad scientist - made up from a melange of two children, the head of Frank & the body of John, lashed together only by a chain.



FNJ awakes one day to find himself abandoned and confused, and sets out to find out who or what he is.

In this randomly generated death labyrinth, you roam about defending yourself from the other strange creations by shooting your head off to attack. Should you be lucky enough to come across a 'head-o-tron' you can attach some of the other strange creations to your noggin, some of these will help you, some of them will hinder you, and others, well they're just weird...

We have been lucky enough to secure the musical talents of Ben 'FTL' Prunty for the soundtrack.

The project is currently looking for funding on Kickstarter, and have hit the infamous mid-campaign slump. We would really appreciate it if you guys would have a look, and let us know what you think, all criticisms accepted, well constructive mostly 

here's the KS page:http://kck.st/1pBZVAM

You can play a short (but difficult) Arena Demo:
Pc version: http://www.bitsmithgames.com/windows-demo-download/
OSX: http://bitsmithgames.com/windows-demo-download-1/

Opinions wanted! 

Thanks,

Thanks Venomlemon!

Looks great man! Good luck on the Kickstarter.

Looks great guys. One thing though: the pledge descriptions look really messy down the right hand side, it's hard to see what's different between tiers. I can see you're trying to pack a lot in but it might put people off.

You seem to be doing pretty well so far so maybe it's not a problem.

Good luck

Nice, I'd love to play this. I'm pretty much just roguelike addict at this point.

Thanks Guys,

be sure to try out the demo! You can grab it from the KS page.

Hmm, yeah you could be right DJR, unfortunately the rewards section is locked down once you launch. Prob for the best - I'm sure there would be some skuzzer that would change it all on the last day, and be all like MUAHAHA, you get NOTHHINNGGGG 

Jerks, they ruin everything 

We'll be updating the demo soon, and adding a few new Skullcaps - you can see some of them in action in this video:

Doh, of course, yeah, that makes sense!

Hey guys! I x-posted this on the other thread about the game - hope that's cool!

Good news - We very recently added Co-Op! While it is still very early and a little buggy, it's already very fun! You'll be able to play the game on your own OR with a player. We plan to add a system that changes difficulty and drop rates in order to accomodate a single or multiple player experience. Watch Ralph and Paul play it!

The graveyard setting is neat and that head throwing animation is pretty rad. Good stuff !
