22 of 22 · most liked firstYer Ma's the Elden Lord! We beat our 21st run in style, defeating all the base game bosses, taking down Malenia with 17 health left (my lucky number!), and absolutely crushing the final boss rush. Long live the Battle Axe! Run 22 / Battle Hammer starts on Thursday :)

Main player weapon, the real "Battle Axe of Baki" center, the sprite on the left. Main player right with shield. #gamedev #handdrawn #oc #godot #indiegame
unlabelledView post →Battle Axe is an overhead action game that is very reminiscent to something you would find in an arcade! Its a challenging but fair game that has you pick one of 3 characters to fight evil with! Plus this game is co-op! Sadly no one to play with on my end. Lets beat some game!

unlabelledView post →Starting off with #1: Bloodforged Battle-Axe This is my favorite card in the entire game of Magic. Something about it replicating itself and imagining a creature holding a bunch of axes makes me happy. Also this version includes my favorite flavor text.

While Bitmap Bureau (Xeno Crisis, Battle Axe) is busy with the Terminator 2 and He-Man and the Masters of the Universe licensed games, why not try their Belt Scroll Action Game?

unlabelledView post →The awesome thing about Battle Axe is that it IS a newer game meaning we haven't lost the art of doing sprite-work as good as old SNK or Capcom, but we definitely should be highlighting games that look like this as examples of where we can go with things stylistically.
