y'know the top down shooter section was just about impossible but maybe i just suck or something, either way could you first off add keyboard controls and second of all add either checkpoints or more hearts to the top down shooter?
The characters honestly look like something from Gravity Falls. :)
I'm getting Gravity Falls vibes from this
Lets play from Tipsygamings channel!
Funny and amazing game from the creator and development team of the game!
the exam bit at the beginning is very hard on a keyboard because of the controller controls it took me a while to figure out which key was which button
Three stories, three outcasts, three nerds… and a single destiny: to make the best video game ever.
Indiecalypse depicts the crude reality of indie game developers and their struggles to get their shit together when it comes to releasing a video game.
Three misfits team up to design and produce their own indie game, finding themselves in a path of chaos, self-destruction and resentment. But there’s also space for crude humor, pop culture references, gratuitous and non-gratuitous violence... and fear. Fear of the dozens of lawsuits for copyright infringement, obscenity and profanity we’ll have to face if the game is finally published.
In Indiecalypse we'll play as Jack Jackson (programming), Ethan Wornick (music) and Violet Oakly (art), and live their own particular stories. The game's main mechanic is based on modern exploration/adventure games, but Indiecalypse also includes more than 20 mini-games, most of them copied, sorry, based (let's say inspired by...) some of the most popular games and mechanics in video game history.
Jack Jackson is the programmer, responsible for bringing “THE GAME” to life, and he’s the one who triggers the whole story. An ill-tempered, pretentious douchebag, his hygienic habits are at least questionable, and yet he’ll surely manage to win your hearts.
He’s our main character and the team leader.
Ethan Wortnick is the game’s musician, a talented composer and keytar master. The word “keytar”, by the way, is a blend of the words “keyboard” and “guitar”, in case you didn’t notice. Ethan is a cynical, easy-going fellow with a dubious lifestyle.
He’s Jack’s first ally and eventually becomes the voice of his conscience, or something like that...
Last but not least, there’s Violet Oakly, the team’s lead artist. A former fine art’s A-grade student, a series of unfortunate events molded Violet’s personality into the hysterical leery concept artist she is now.
She’s the last member to join the team, and becomes Jack’s second right hand. Because it’s always useful to have two right hands.
Indiecalypse is filled with references to some of the most popular -and not so popular- video games in history. The many mini-games scattered throughout the main game are our particular tribute to those titles that somehow have defined our miserable lives. In its essence, Indiecalypse is a heartfelt confession, an invitation to recall our sentimental memoirs as gamers.
Graphic artist Héctor Toro (@Narehop) is responsible for the game’s visual style. He has collaborated with brands such as Sony Playstation, Nintendo, Riot Games or Movistar among many others. The style depicted in Indiecalypse reflects his own vision of the animation that can be seen on television nowadays. This style, known as “Calarts” is often used by Disney and Cartoon Network to appeal to family friendly audiences. In the game, he wanted to create this striking contrast between cartoon animated drawing style and adult themes, gore, grotesque situations and black humor.
References are a very common tool in audiovisual work. In Indiecalypse, Pau Damià Riera (@paudamiariera 
), composer and sound designer with broad experience in animation, advertising and -of course- video games, has used well-known references as creative inspiration, paying tribute to all-time great film and video game scores. An exercise in style that comprises music and sound effects belonging to every possible genre, according to the eclectic and satirical narrative of the game.
The game will be released in English, Spanish, German & French.
