FREAKHUNTER

About this game

WITH EACH PASSING MOMENT, THEIR DIMENSION GROWS...

FREAKHUNTER is a dungeon-crawler-rail-shooter-action-hybrid for sickos, developed on vibes, and created as an exercise in actually finishing a video game. It's inspired by early FPS games like SILENT DEBUGGERS on PC-Engine and Shadow Over Innsmouth on Virtual Boy.

It'll probably take a little under two hours to reach the end.

True HUNTERS wield a controller - although mouse and keyboard are supported!

  THE "DON'T SAY I NEVER DID NOTHIN FOR YA" ONE YEAR FREAKIVERSARY MINOR UPDATE

  Thank you all so much for playing FREAKHUNTER! It's been crazy to see people actually playing and enjoying something I made, and I look forward to finding the time to devote to a new project in the nearish future. I'll cut to the chase: Since it's been just about a year since the game released on Steam, I thought it'd be appropriate (read: I finally got brave enough) to re-open the project file and fix some of the issues with the game that I felt were most egregious. Here's a changelog: Added new options as requested by some wonderful itch.io supporters: GAMMA - if the ingame 3D tunnel graphics are too dark! FULLSCREEN MAP STYLE - added an option (enabled by default) to keep the fullscreen map stationary. SWAP TURN/STRAFE INPUTS - For keyboard freaks who want a more conventional blobber-style control scheme. Fixed (for real this time, definitely, surely) an issue where the FLAKWAVE weapon sometimes damaged the player when fired. Minor performance improvements, especially in levels like 3-5 which ran embarrassingly poorly. Sorry about that. Changed the map colors to be a bit more readable. Increased speed of text crawls. Added the ability to skip text crawls, as well as explicit response to button presses during text crawls. Added a few ammo pickups to 3-2, 3-3, 3-4, 3-6, and 4-4 to smooth the difficulty curve. Added a couple more death quips. Love you all. Been a weird year for me. Gonna be an even weirder one. xoxoxoxo, becky "goop_lord" goop
