HEADACHE
A downloadable game
HEADACHE is a eyeburning, high-octane Hotline-Miami style FPS where you use anything and everything you can to brutalise everybody in the level as fast as possible. Blast, stomp, and smash your way through a office-disguised gang hideout to take down the leader. Stomp heads, crack skulls, and smash doors in a brilliant die-and-retry loop to rack up the highest combo, and the highest score possible.
CONTROLS:
WASD, MOUSE - Move, look around
M1 - Use weapon
M2 - Pick up/Throw weapon (based on whether you are holding a weapon already.
E - Kick
SPACE - Dash (you'll need it)
Note: This game is a demo/concept game. The challenges that go into creating a FPS Hotline Miami were ones I could not have foreseen. I may return to this in the future, but until I can figure out new concepts and ideas for it, it'll sit here.

Hotline Miami... but it's an fps acid dream... 10/10
W game (there were no signs)
Wow. There aren't many free indie projects with such crazy dynamics. Dude, I would really like to work together, I'm a sound designer and composer myself. I can participate for free, just to support the project. Here's an email for contact: buragoender@gmail.com
PLEASE CONTINUE THIS GAME IT'S PEAK ONE OF THE BEST FREE GAMES I EVER PLAYED
my eye hurt after playing this but it's HARD when you first download it
holy artstyle
Took me quite a few restarts, but I managed to beat it lol
That said, most of my deaths were due to performance problems more than anything else. The game constantly seems to hitch when you kill enemies sometimes.
Also, I'm not really a fan of how the weapons that the enemies have get randomised. You end up with situations where it's pretty impossible to react at times. I get that you want to keep replays and playthroughs a little more random, but this just makes things a little annoying at times, especially since it's hard to tell what weapon an enemy has.
( If the looks of enemies changed based on their weapon, it would help )
Love the visual style, although I feel like enemies could stand out from the environment a little better
I also think the dash needs some sort of visual or audio indicator though. It was very hard to tell if I was actually dashing or not
All that said, this is pretty awesome none the less. Makes me want to make a hotline miami-esque game lol. Great stuff here
awesome game enjoyed it a lot and very hard but very fun. some bad frame drops here and there but still liked it a lot.
I LOVE THIS GAME WITH ALL MY HEART BUT I NEED THE MUSIC BADLY
PD: I don't speak English and there may be spelling errors.
something stupid I just did lol
i love this
i can't download it since i have an window😭😭😭
Man, this game is legit beautiful. I’m obsessed with the design and the difficulty, it just hits different. Also, please upload the soundtrack to YouTube.
it’s so good, I need it on loop lol
this might sound stupid but how do i replay the levels?
Currently there isn't a way, a patch is being worked on to address the lag and being able to replay it
Solid concept and the aesthetic is great. The gameplay loop definitely captures the Hotline Miami problem solving but it needs some more depth to be as engaging. The first-shot-accuracy of weapons means you sometimes miss by chance and the simplicity of the levels makes the gameplay feel a bit linear. As a proof of concept this is good work and I hope you keep working on it.
I LOVE THIS SMMMM, its so so so fun, i do wish there were ways to customize levels ( inf ammo, super speed, only bats, etc) but its rlly fun as is as well
Bro, WHO LET YOU COOK, BECUASE YOU SET THE KITCHEN DOWN IN FLAMES BUT STILL WALKED OUT OF IT LIKE A BADASS THIS GAME IS SO PEAK
I KNEW YOU COULD MAKE IT MELTPACK
pretty damn fun but the maps are a bit big and samey for me. plus shooting enemies several times for them to turn around and kill me in 1 shot is extremely annoying
dashing doesnt work. else its absolute peak.
btw are you intended to always be at 1hp or nah?
Yeah, it was intended to be at 1hp. I'm working on a cleanup fix and working on health is on the list. Are you sure dashing doesnt work? what're you pressing?
pressed shift and tried control, both had no effect at all
Very intense, challenging and fun game.
This is a really fun concept, although it frustrated me in my first playthrough cuz I got the worst map generation ever, still I did better in the second playthrough I guess, the boss was difficult at first but once I figured out how to kill him it was relatively easy. Hope you can continue this project!
Show post...
wonderful game!
this is awesome but wayyyy too hard :'(
I really liked this game, it'awsome i even played it multiple times but now i found a bug, idk why but the lets me play only the boss stage i tried every thing like dekliting the game and reinstalling it , but nothing seem to work. hope you can fix it asap bc its a very fun game!
would it be possible to get the image of the guy you play as in the lower left corner?
Crazy good, any plans to release on steam? I know at least 5 people who would buy a full version of this game.
while there is a steam page, id like to revisit this properly before using it to make sure its fully worth peoples moneym I'm happy you enjoyed it though!
WAY TO HARD 5/10 IF EZ MODE IS ADDED 10/10
ts was raw asl is there gonna b any continuation
Planned with more story and actual gameplay but nowhere near beginning stages yet. Thank you though!
please continue this game
i love this game so much man, please keep working on it
keybinding is really annoying and there's no way to change.
HELP I CAN'T GET THE GAAAAAAAAME SOMEONE HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP
gaggleland massacre
I loved this, hope more content comes. it has an unique and well art style. I would be like a special HOTLINE MIAMI DETAIL to leave the destiny of the guard on your hands and it will affect something on the future. Please keep following ur passion u have a great future
I love this game, its amazing, i completed all 3 levels and it felt really good, tho i found some bugs that for example there is an invisible wall in few spaces that your bullet wont pass, the other is that game lags incredibely bad when killing enemies. Thats it, have a great day!
I think its a bit too unforgiving because you die pretty quickly and you get sent back pretty far if you die. Also its kind of weird how enemies don't notice you after you shot their friend in the head right in front of them. Also it runs pretty poorly, when I shoot or kill an enemy it often freezes for a second. Its a cool game and I like it a lot but these things prevent me from having too much fun with it.
I've been told about the performance issues, I run like a supercomputer and don't tend to notice until the level end and I plan on redoing the project and fixing a lot of issues like this in the future. Thanks for the feedback!
pretty cool, tho whats holding it back is the guns (especially the uzis) not being accurate or having a hitsound/marker, which makes those guns less fun to use. enemies also are pretty quiet when they shoot, which elads to some very weird deaths. optimization needs some work, but aside from that this is a pretty cool game, i especially like the execution mechanic, which feels natural to do. very excited to see where this goes
Thank you! This was my first actual release so I'll take these on board for my next one
sick fucking game
only issue is that it would freeze every time i killed an enemy up close but we don't talk about that 🤫
