Super Bat Puncher

[Blackbird]

Just spotted an interesting indie game! It's an oldschool platformer for the NES console. The game looks pretty fun - physics shenanigans. Blitz Lunar is composing the soundtrack, so it sounds awesome as well.

Check it out if the idea appeals to you, it looks like the demo is out =D.

Demo Gameplay

Level 1 Theme (Forest)

Ive watched a gameplay video of it. Its very much like Cave story only there isnt enough varity of baddies, Its mostly just bats and a few pig like creatures, plus the stages are too sparsly populated imo.
If the the later stages improve in these aspects then, I bet its gonna be one fine little platformer.

You should probably mention that to the developer, then. I'm sure he/she would appreciate the feedback... development is still ongoing, and they seem to take fan criticism seriously.

Is it wrong that I read the title as "Super Pat Butcher"?

Looks pretty nice. The stages are a bit barren, like TrevHead said, but the game is still in the making, after all. I like the punching glove mechanic, it's similar to what was in Rockin' Kats but outside a few of the very last stages that game didn't make full use of it. Hopefully this one will.

Would buy on a real NES cartridge.

Lookin' googd. I especially like the music that plays once the action starts in that demo video. Love that kind of atmospherical low-bit sounds.
Tbh, I don't care too much about if the stages look a bit undetailed.

This game rules. I can't wait for the full version.

I mentioned this on Dtiods article for this game so the devs should of read the comments

Tons of fun. I beat it and did the challenge level for the developer's rocket pack, quite a bit of content for just a demo. Promising game.

Dig the music from this for some reason. Low key music from Nes chips rule.

In my opinion, Blitz Lunar/Goniochromism (the composer) is an extremely talented individual. I think the soundtrack will turn out great. He's pretty well known in the chiptune community.

Ditto



Anyone know how the game is progressing? The guy's website is not very informative, to say the least.

[Blackbird]

I'll see if I can dig up some more info.

In the meantime, here's some 2-Player gameplay footage, if you haven't seen it already: 2 Player

Is it just me or is the giant boxing glove idea taken right from Rockin' Kats, another NES game?
