Visually impressive; lasers, smoke and explosions effects bring an atmosphere full of energy.
Tight storyline and clever humor.
Dirigo also handles colossal enemies like a boss and his musical background certainly helped to came up with this powerful yet comfy (even a bit melancholic, would say) pace and ambience.
Often felt powerful "G-String" and "Binary Domain" vibes, games I love.
Absolutely stunning. I love the fact that I ran this on my crappy self built PC with no frame drops, and despite that, the game looks and feels spectacular. Truly something great here. 10/10/10.
This one was very fun, the movement had weird wind up but when you’re going it feels good
Speaking of feeling good, every gun has real power which I like
I liked this, but it made my toaster cough a little, couldn't get it to run smoothly enough. The atmosphere and the responsiveness of the weapons felt great. Perhaps a little too blue though... ?
Cool game! I dug the pacing and style. I wish there were a few more mouse sensitivity options. I think the shotgun is maybe too good? But it seems like the way ammo is given out that was the intent. Might be better to spread minimal shotgun ammo through the whole run, rather than have it all at the start then dry up. The lasergun might be a better first weapon tho i guess the way the encounters are designed early game they seem to expect you to have a shotgun. Anyway yeah really fun :D
I'd say that I crushed the gamer after getting the mashine gun, but that's be a lie. I actually died a few times still. But that's just cuz I suck. Thanks for making this fun game!
i have played this game a lot, i found a bug, if you complete the game and you restart it you'll have the 4 weapons and collectibles that give you 1 more heart won't spawn again
So we have two requests from a lot of speedrun testing, actually: a restart button and the ability to keep mouse sensitivity through death. Would that be possible?
Awesome game! Gunplay was on point, love the slow motion feature and the headshot sound.
Just one thing: when i finish walking, the character seems to slide a bit...it feels of considering this type of game, idk.But, this is the only "problem" i found, much better than i think it would be!
Do you think in another update you could make it so people could change the resolution or graphics? I went to play the updated version of the game, but I can't because I can not change the resolution or graphics so my pc can run the game at a smooth frame rate.
Man this was insane fun. Loved the retro vibes, the aesthetics,the music. I think it has a little Blade Runner influence (that is positive). The game is better than you think it is. Keep up the great work! Waiting for new levels or a sequel.
Another RPS ref. Damn this game is so good! It seems like not only a badass game about killing robots, but an incredible bite-sized depiction of corporate control and the value of chaos. I don't mean to read too deep into this, but there was something liberating about just melting through this game. Thanks so much!
Another RPS referral here- WHAT is that song playing at the end? It sounds like a classical tune but I'm terrible with names. The bosses were pretty fun: A+ chopper battle. I enjoyed the lead-up to it with repeated futile encounters ratcheting up tension before the showdown.
Saw this on rockpapershotgun, downloaded 1.0.6 and it instantly crashes on my Windows 10 box. It says to send the dump files to the developer, is there an email address?
This build is from 2018, currently finishing up an update (1.0.7) that will update the engine as well. Never had this issue, but hopefully that one will work better for you. Few days :)
Friend recommended this to me, haven't played it yet but it looks great! Felt like I had to drop by and leave a comment since I saw you also did STOWAWAY, which I really enjoyed.
Surprised I missed this once since I've been following your page since the release of that game.

wheres the sequal/remaster
Extremely satisfying!

I used to speedrun this game back in 2018. I love this game
SYSCRUSHER: I used to be speedrun by this guy back in 2018. I love this player

Ridiculous, so immediate, entertaining and with so much it could teach AA games, the open design of the levels is a hoot.
emoji robots rises again
Magnificent little FPS.
Thanks! :)

Perhaps a little too blue though... ?
Next game will have no blue (or red or yellow). Thanks! :)
amazing game, colours, gameplay ... loved it !
Thanks! :)
This was really fun. I absolutely dig the visuals, and flying in and out on the copterbike was super cool. Very short but incredibly polished.
Thanks! :)
this is awesome. Are there any plans to follow it up?
Yes! Until then, look for KINGDOM of the DEAD this year. Thanks! :)
A nice little 30 minutes of sci-fi fps. I only wish I got more time to use the rocket launcher. Fun game though :D
Thanks! :)
Super fun little blast of fps action with nice style. I enjoyed this a lot.
Thanks! :)

Thanks! :) Good points.
i usually dont like shooters but this game was just plain fun. it felt amazing to move around and all of the guns felt super satisfying. great game!!
Thanks! :)
Is this named after the Neil Young song?
I want you to decide :)
I'd say that I crushed the gamer after getting the mashine gun, but that's be a lie. I actually died a few times still. But that's just cuz I suck. Thanks for making this fun game!
Thanks! :)
i would more call the game sistercrusher

Very cool! Thanks! :)
this was a fantastic game and would love to see it expanded upon.
is there any chance of the coundtrack making it to spotify?
Thanks! :) No Spotify but Bandcamp: https://dirigogames.bandcamp.com/album/syscrusher-soundtrack
really enjoyed this one, good job
Thanks! :)
Loved it, wished it was longer though.
Always leave em wanting more :) Thanks!
i have played this game a lot, i found a bug, if you complete the game and you restart it you'll have the 4 weapons and collectibles that give you 1 more heart won't spawn again
Yeah, added that in the 1.0.8 update so you could play the game again with all the weapons. Not perfect, will probably change it soon :)
Wow. This is a really good game. The aesthetic is super cool. I'm excited to see what else you add to the game.
Thanks! :)
nice game, are you going to update the game?
Yes, thanks! :)
Hey! This game kicks ass - me and a friend set up a speedrun.com leaderboard for it (https://www.speedrun.com/syscrusher), and I recently got a 6:11: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cskmtrnzXnE
Would love to see more!
also lol i just realized i did this on 1.0.6 and 1.0.7 lets you skip the intro
So we have two requests from a lot of speedrun testing, actually: a restart button and the ability to keep mouse sensitivity through death. Would that be possible?
Really really cool. Consider it done in the next update. Thanks! :)
Really fun game! The music and general aesthetic is super cool, and the shooting was very fun for the whole game.
Thanks! :)
Awesome game! Gunplay was on point, love the slow motion feature and the headshot sound.

hey so while playing I ran into a glitch when I died and grabbed a health kit at the same time. I have recorded it so you can see it.
Got it, thanks :)
Do you think in another update you could make it so people could change the resolution or graphics? I went to play the updated version of the game, but I can't because I can not change the resolution or graphics so my pc can run the game at a smooth frame rate.
Okay :)
Thanks
There you go man, 1.0.8 :) Back to original rez. Didn't feel right. There's also an option to turn off FX in the ESC menu now
thanks man just tried it now I can play
Man this was insane fun. Loved the retro vibes, the aesthetics,the music. I think it has a little Blade Runner influence (that is positive). The game is better than you think it is. Keep up the great work! Waiting for new levels or a sequel.
Thanks for the video! Do androids dream of electric sheep? Yes :)
HOW DO YOU OPEN THIS? I just have the .rar file. Now what? I tried opening it with java but failed
Install instructions
Thank you :)
Ok, thank you :) Is this written anywhere?
He's right, this is the correct method for .rars :)
Awesome fun - moment to moment gun play is fast and furious and the art direction is wonderfully 80's robots and lasers!
Thanks! :)
This game rules! Also got here via RPS. Well done! Absolutely loved this.
Thanks! :)

If anyone from the FBI reads this, just a game about shooting robots, he's wrong. Thanks! :)

This: https://dirigogames.bandcamp.com/track/11-badinerie-bach-to-the-future uses bits of this (Bach): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tv40mcAM1ZA :)
BACH: a natural fit for blasting robots with lasers. Thank you!
Saw this on rockpapershotgun, downloaded 1.0.6 and it instantly crashes on my Windows 10 box. It says to send the dump files to the developer, is there an email address?

FWIW: same problem here. Wanted to play this after RPS's coverage.

Pretty good! The bosses were weirdly too easy, but I had fun!
Thanks! :)
