The Hobo 2 - Down & Out - Asia

[/size]

Story

You are Rage the hobo. Ever since your ugly fat wife left you, because of your drinking/smoking habits and complete failure at life, you began to witness a darker side within you. Shortly after you failed to pay the rent and maintain your job as a male prison toilet cleaner, you had to live on the streets. This so called "darker side" has woken and has taken you over. Every living rich person, which passes by you and refuses to even give you a nickel, makes you go berserk. You now have nothing to lose but your trusted rags that serve you as clothes. Go now, and let the involuntary killing spree begin!

Gameplay

This game is aimed as a simple platform action game, with lots blood and (hopefully) fatalities triggered through simple 2-3 key combinations (which appear above the dying enemy). The pace is aimed to be super fast and with fluid animations (sort of combining retro Atari/early NES styles with later 2D styles).

Just added further information and rating warning (sorry, didn't guess people would get so easily offended, it's just black humour )

[Melly]

Oh, don't worry, we're pretty lenient around here. I guess people thought your concept was pretty sad, in fact.

Haha, I thought the story was hilarious. I particularly like the name Rage.

"Adult content" makes me think NSFW. This is harmless fun.

[Melly]

Alright then, no need to worry too much. Just use your common sense.

This game is canceled for this competition because I won't be able to finish it on time. Some personal affairs had to be solved in this time frame and that left me with little time. I will start to write an engine for the game anytime soon and once the game has anything worth showing, I'll post here, in TIGSource, 'till then...
