The Happy Kid (Working Title) is a Hotline Miami / Deadbolt Inspired Top-Down Shooter telling the stories of two hit-men in the city of Los Angeles and the choices they make regarding life, death, corruption, honor, and greed.



I'm working on this project on my spare time and wanted to get some feedback on what I have so far.
You can mess with the guns in the gun range or play the first few levels!

My feedback based on the latest release:
  • Game seems a little slow. If your target is for PC, I would up the game speed to 60.
  • During the chapter intro, I can fire my weapon and hear it. I would make a simple solution by disabling the player during these moments.
  • Walls and doors are really thick and make the play area seem unnecessarily cluttered.
  • Pause menu.... I can't see what's going on.
  • There is no way to access the options in the main menu, only the pause screen.
On the other hand, the blood, gore, killing, and interaction is very similar to Hotline Miami; I like it!
Nice work! I'm looking forward to playing an updated demo soon!

Hello hello,

I see you're going for a "Hotline Miami" vibe here. Unfortunately since the isn't much to comment on due to what is expected from a game like this, I'll leave you with a suggestion. The menu cursor should be above the buttons... just seems off for some reason. Maybe adjust the depth a little.

All-in-all it's fine for what it is now. Nothing to complain about.
