Fantastic Blood Boy!

On: May 1st, 2008

A late entry for our VGNG Compo, Fantastic Blood Boy is a frantic action game from none other than the lovely Gustav Kilman! In the game you play the titular Blood Boy, who is as fantastic as he sounds. Your goal is to keep the clot crystals away from the Sock Puppets who are hopping around trying to get after it. To do this, simply touch the crystal and it will fly away – but when the crystal is flying, it won’t generate the various crazy weapons you need to destroy the Sock Puppets (and create up to two more crystals!).

It’s a simple, yet novel, system, that’s complemented by manic gameplay and a poppin’ visual style. Plus, Gustav has finished a game, which means that I can finally die and rest in peace. Thank you, Gustav! This is great!

Thanks for posting this, Derek! Not sure it’s worthy of being on the front page, though.
Hrm… I hope some of you will get a few fun minutes with it, at least <3

I just realized i never mentioned anywhere in the game that kill-combos is the way to really rack up your score.

It’s definitely worthy of being on the front page. It’s really quite a nice game.

At first I disliked it, but it grew on me. Not being able to directly harm enemies is kind of cool, and I like the balance the game strikes. The weapons are kind of underpowered, in my opinion, but that’s it.

gustav: The music was good, especially considering you did loads better on your first try than I did on my umpteenth.
