Rambros by Black Ships Fill the Sky
Somewhere, somehow, someone is gonna pay!
A game about revenge, justice and the United States of Bromerica.
May include rocket jumping.
Best Played with 2 XBox Controllers (Bros shouldn't play alone, though they can).
We got a fair bit done for Ludum Dare. It was a totally brotastic weekend. Though we couldn't finish it (or get the theme in). As soon as we can we'll be rectifying that.
Enjoy!!!

I played by myself with an xbox controller- thought it was strange that jump was Y instead of A.
I played the WindowsEnhanced version, since the Windows link didn't work. Though, the game didn't entirely match the screenshot, so maybe it wasn't the correct version?
I agree with Zillix - the controls were weird. I also played by myself with an xbox controller. A definitely should have been jump! And I found it weird how I had to press a button to spawn as well.
Overall - Awesome game. Great job!
We didn't finish the game sadly (that's why there is no point or theme tie in).
But we're going to fix that this next weekend hopefully.
Smart gameplay, so orgasmic to gank enemies by destroying walls. Nice job bros !
The entire aethetic is brilliant. Gameplay feels punchy, and I like the sorta-non-linearity of the levels.
Checkpointing was a bit harsh, though.
The whole thing feels really well put together.
I did manage to get stuck in the walls sometimes though, especially when trying to climb.
More checkpoints would definitely help as you die really easily.
Runs well in Wine, although my xbox controller didn't work.
Fantastic job, well done!
Great graphics and music though. Nice work!
Hum, somewhat fun game.
The destructible environment, while it adds some 'replayability' and strategy, it did occasionally mean I'd get stuck or find it difficult to approach some enemies; given the theme, I thought I'd be the one-man army taking down waves of enemies, but sometimes it was the opposite! :D
Really love the graphics and the feel of some of the controls, though would have killed to be able to aim my gun somewhat instead of just straight. Still, this has serious potential!
You used the same title as another completely different game.
Since there no possible way two people could come up with such a non-obvious combination of "Bros" and "Rambo" independently I am compelled to denounce you, sirs, as thieves and scoundrels!
Seriously though, awesome job. I'd love to see an expanded version of this.
We are in fact continuing working on it... I feel bad now because I've been so busy with that I didn't get to rate anyone else (I'm going to play them anyway as soon as I can).
Turned out there is another game in development called "Rambros". We were super bummed to discover this, but it looks like an awesome game, check it out.
We're renaming the project "Bro Force". We'll have a build out in a few days (hopefully). The game now actually has a win condition :)
Most definitely get this to a publishable state. I'd happily pay, if not through the nose then through one of my nostrils for it.
Well done, great graphic,s great feel great humour.
