bHopper: Hunted (Game in Development)

WASD to move - space to shoot - LShift to boost

Follow the yellow marker to your pickup and dropoff locations; avoid the Hunter marked by the green arrow

bHopper: Hunted is a retro cyberpunk top-down vehicle combat game. It's in early development and you can follow along on Twitch!

Play as a delivery driver in your flying car in a crowded world of skyscrapers inspired by Blade Runner and The Fifth Element. Your earnings are counting down the longer you take to deliver, so move fast. But don't have accidents or destroy anything in your haste, because you'll earn fines. And if you earn enough fines without paying, fearsome bouny hunters will be sent to collect. Run, hide, or fight - but don't expect to escape the Hunter's wrath until you pay what you owe.

This game is rough. It is the earliest of early prototypes. I'm sharing it to share the gamedev journey and to let you know that it's okay for your game to not quite work until you've smoothed out the rough edges.

bHopper is a love letter to the not-great-but-very-special 1999 game BHunter by Interactive Vision and published by Midas. A retro demake of a retro game, if you will. 

It's also an experiment in open-source development. It uses the free and open source no-code engine GDevelop, art is created in Inkscape and GIMP, sound in Jfxr and Audacity, etc.
