I don't care if this game has furries or not. From a nerdy perspective this game is absolutely GORGEOUS. And all the art, voices, sounds, and programming WERE ALL DONE BY ONE *** MAN, IN SEVEN *** MONTHS. I didn't believe it either. This man is a beast, he deserves....heck, I don't know what he should get for this masterpeice.

On a side topic which really burns my hide, though. A bunch of people I've seen seem to be turned off by this game simply because it has furries. I'm glad gamers these days judge a games quality on whether or not the characters have fur. They seem to have forgotten Ratchet and Clank, Sonic, StarFox, and so many others. So what? You don't have to like furries, just get it because one man made a game in seven months that looks better than professionally made games made in years.

I don't even like side-scolling, beat-em-up games like this, but I'll get it anyway because this man deserves every penny for the hardworks he's put in to this.

EDIT: If that little thing following the guy in corner says, "HEY! LISTEN!" all the time I'm going to shoot myself, I can't handle that anymore.

It does look very impressive for a one man 7 month job. The standard running animation looks a bit floaty but that's a very minor problem. It should be said that 2D is far quicker to make than 3D, and this doesnt look to be pushing further than any proffesional did in the past. But for one guy to do this, is really great.

The only real problem I have with it is that this person has no reason not to do something unique. The indie games I like the best are ones like The Path or Garry's Mod or Osmos or Ben There, Dan That or AI War or Audiosurf. Games that dont have any restrictions and therefore try new things. This game doesnt do anything new in terms of gameplay or story or tone.

That said, I cant expect every game to change the world. Creating such a game by itself is a monumental feat.

It's going to suck. Pretty much every game now adays staring furries sucks. The only games that don't suck now adays are those that star humans. Saddly, this is pretty much true. Man, I would do ANYTHING for other playable options.

*Sigh* God, if someone made an awesome game starring a furry, I would hug them. I would pay double the price, even.

On the off chance that this game IS going to be awesome, then I'll get it depending on what system it's on.

The guy isn't a furry, he has said this himself. And since when does a game simply having furries make it suck? What gave you that impression? Honestly, that little tirade I said applies to you, why does the inclusion of furries automatically make it bad?

You also said "Pretty much every game now adays staring furries sucks." Can you name a recent furry game? Other than that Sonic Unleashed or whatever, but that barely qualifies, if at all.

I never said a game sucks just cause it has furries, I am saying that games involving furries these days have pretty much all sucked, except for an occasional game like Banjo: Nuts and Bolts or Klonoa Wii, but even then, the games are no where near as good as they used to be. Perhaps it is safer to say that all the newcomer furries have pretty much sucked and all the veteran furry games have started to lose flavor.

And what I said wasn't really based off of opinion, it was based off of reviews.

hmmm, this looks like it could be pretty good.... i often dont like these kind fo games that much, due to the fact that combat can become repetetive, with the story being... a villager needs to be saved, monsters jumps in.... combocombocombo... win.... however i like the look of the art, nice style.... personally this could be a reasonbal game, though the platform will affect a lot as i only have a pc and original xbox
