SUPER BRO THROW by SinclairStrange

[raw]
made by SinclairStrange for LD32 (JAM)
I CAN'T BELIEVE I DID IT! This was one hell of a challenge to get complete!

I tried something different for once, I wanted to go for some humor, some platforming and a funny unconventional weapon. So I somehow dreamed up this thing.

The aim of the game is to throw your bro at the dude who are terrorizing the streets but first you must get to them. That means avoiding buzz saws, broken bottles and electrical wires. The usual stuff.

If you're stuck on the pause screen for a reason, just click off the game and then click back, it should hopefully fix it :)

The controls are simple, you pick up your bro while over him by clicking the left mouse. Hold the mouse down for more power and then let go to throw!
You move with WASD or Arrows (select in the options.)

You can restart a stage by pressing R and escape to the main menu by pressing ESC.

You can also change the volume using the -/+ keys.

Anyway hope you like and remember
THROW YOUR BRO!

Thanks to my dear friends Without Andrew for quickly whipping up some nice punk music this weekend to go along to this! :)

Haha love the bosses! Art style and Audio are great! Gameplay is fun and challenging I could only beat level 1 & 2. This could be classed as a completed game!

Great Work!

Loved the art style! I loved the subtle effects like the scan lines. Really amazing job. Amazing effects too, especially the guts flying straight at the camera. You did a good job playing with depth and scale there. That was a ton of fun!

Best entry I have played so far! Awesome mood. It's really polished, graphics are great and I dig the humor a lot!
I can totally imagine this game as a couch beer coop game, chasing a friend to throw him first.

Really good job!

This is pretty fun, but rather hard. The take on the theme is definitely unique though the art is easily the best part of this game. Nice work

The amount of polish put into this game in the time limit is astounding. Fantastic work. Quite challenging. That ending screen is pretty dark, lol.

The title screen screaming made me have an heart attack, the reste of the game bring me to life. Nice job

I couldn't ask for anything more of this game. I seriously can't think of a single improvement to suggest, and that upsets me.

Incredible work.

FIVE STARS ON ALL FRONTS! This game is way too hard for me but also it's completely perfect, NICE WORK!

This is the most unsubtle entry I have seen. Its really easy to play and seemingly flawless in execution. The only thing that I did't like is how I can walk on the hazards. It just seems odd. Good job!

Pretty entertaining, definitely challenging. Great art/sound.

Great job on the polish work like the pause screen, menus, etc. I know it can be hard to find time to fit that stuff in for a jam, but it shows attention to detail which makes things really seem more "pro."

I could see this being a 2-player game, where the other player controls the Bro in some way.

Love it! Kinda jealous at our polished and good it looks. Think the game would have been even better if the player couldn't walk on hazards though, but maybe that would have been too hard!

Great game, with great music, great (and somewhat gore-y) art, great game mechanism and great level design!
Took me a while to finish the third level but it's very doable!

Thank you for such a great work!

Too many times I have wondered what it would be like to throw my brother on a pit of spikes so hard his intestines burst.

I no longer have to only dream.

I love the in-your-face design approach and the inclusion of excessive fraternal carnage. The addition of a tutorial is great to see, too.

really good game. The art style is charming and the controls are good. It made me laugh a couple of times too.
The only problems are: you should be able to see the trajectory you are trowing your bro and the bro shouldn't be killed by saws when you are holding it.

Wow, that's was super-challenging! Really unexpected gameplay =) Also like easter egg on funerals =) Nice dark humor. But with more and more tries i want faster way to replay. Like spacebar or something.

Certainly my brother can not play it, just me :D
I like that graphics, and the exaggeration was very well used, I only suggest you add improvements to the character, as skills.

This game is really well polished for an LD game. Super fun, too. However, I feel like the throw physics were a bit off at times, and this made the game frustrating at some points. Still, great entry overall!

It took me a while to find out that it is a time attack game.
Idea and execution are very well!
Congrats guys! :)

Very polished with great graphics, audio and controls. I enjoyed every moment and the gibs were so beautiful that I didn't mind losing! One of my top games so far.

Oh god! I think I just killed Kenny! I love the artwork and the concept. I'm not sure about how the bro flew (it seemed like he'd kinda hit like an air wall or something), but that's about the only thing that kinda bothered me. Great work!

That was epic! The music and the graphics are great! I liked the throw mechanics, though sometimes the bro goes in weird directions. And I managed to get him stuck on a corner of a block, he couldn't fall, but was in the air.

You can press R several times in a row, and it will make a lot of sound. Also, seems like you misspelled Dickscribbler in the level select menu.
