Stick figure blood & gore simulation. [Note: flash, NSFW, for mature audiences only, excessive violence.]

the controls are a bit tricky. I suggest you play it with your browser in full screen mode.

A bit? damn if I can't hold one of the weapons long enough to use it. But I love this guy's work...

That's awesome, but it needs to capture the mouse or something. I kept screwing up because my mouse would leave the window (even in fullscreen)...grrrr...

Completely awesome. I wouldn't call the violence excessive, more PG-rated.

I would love this gave more if it was even remotely playable. The graphics and concept are highly addictive, but why for all the wonderful ways Flash has improved hasn't there been a better way made to make mouse response control?

It's the same as that "Defend the Castle" game... they made this beautiful game that has the worst controls ever.

Worst controls ever.
Flash is cool and all, but when it comes to input response it's still on the same level as Java was in '99.

Nice idea, appalling execution. If the mouse support in flash is really this broken, don't use it.

yes, i too tried to find it addictive, but the controls confounded me.

If they doubled the mouse sensativity there'd be no problem.

Fiddle about in Experiment mode for a while and there's not much problem. Playing the 'Story mode' though, it's pretty fortunate there's no 'lives' as being overpowered by 10 guys with automatic rifles and grenade launchers when all you have is a baton is a bit unfair.

Especially when that baton is either down by your side or behind your head, useless to you...
