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.
Amazing game, a lot of fun. the visuals are what pulled me in and when I beat the game all I felt after was a hunger for games with visuals as such. Maybe one day we'll see another SYSCRUSHER... a solid 8/10 in my books!
Okay, so this was way better than I thought it would be. The music is what really did it for me. The music, especially later on in the game, had me pumped to take down a rogue AI. I like the artstyle a lot too, it isn't over complicated and uses colors in a good attempt at establishing specific vibes. I think it was the one liners (of which I only noticed at the end of the game) that wrapped up the whole package though. I'd love to get my hands on a more polished and extended version of this. 7/10
I'll save my money for the full game! :D I love how you're still updating this demo even though you're working on a full one too.
Also, you could make the landing animation at the start feel a little more natural. As of right now it feels too perfect for a human to make those maneuvers, even simply having one of the hands press a button to indicate some kind of landing assistance would do wonders for it.
I can see that, sure! Great point. In the first draft, you zoomed in with proper aerodynamics. At some point, felt it was more important to slow down and see the map from above. Since the Mustang (electric horse) is autonomous and propeller driven (like a giant drone) it can fly in at any angle/speed
I really enjoyed this! Reminded me of the original Turok somewhat, which is one of my favorites, even if it's a little more straight forward! Great work!
This is really good and fun but unless i'm missing something this game cannot run in 1080p? Is there a possibility to add a 1080p resolution option in the future?
Fun 20 minutes! Music is cool, maybe beef up the bosses a bit (then again I play a ton of FPS, some people might not agree).
Just an idea; I would love a time attack mode with a counter in the top corner. With an intro/outro sequence skip button, this is the perfect game to speedrun and grinding out an optimal route would be cool considering the game's mechanic of slowing down hurting your overall time. (With a quick reset button!)
I'm following you now and can't wait to see what you do in the future.
(Oh, and I found a bug where I hit slow-mo as it was empty/about to charge, and it kept me in slow-mo as it filled up indefinitely.)
Right before you kill the heart it is possible to skip the giant end fight by simply jumping around the door. Just wanted to let you know. I hope there is more in the future.
Great demo had a lot of fun playing through it seeing what I can find or break.!
Notes on V1.06 Date: 01.28.19
Game Settings:
Needs restart level option
Audio setting
More graphics settings
Bugs:
Some walls reflect my own screen back.
Once you destroy an ADMIN and you get on your ship, if you pause and unpause the player stands still while your ship flies off then end screens are bugged out right after.
SKIPS
Found some pretty big skips that allow me to complete the demo in about 7'28.4 hahaha. They can be found right here
I didn't want to share the skip cause I had fun speed running and it was just too good to share lol. I can't wait to see more of the game and where you'll take it! I'll play and provided more feed back when I get the time to do so =). Is there a small team or just one??
Really fun to play, super satisfying getting headshots on the normal grunts, it's great! One problem is the movement having a delay after you release the key you keep walking. Also I would love it if you didn't slow down when aiming down sight while in the air
this is a fantastic game im so sad there isnt more of it, ive laready played it twice, and I do not think I encountered any bugs on my playthrough , you should release the sountrack on banndcmp, sust maje sure to spicify that it is from the game becasue there is a prog rock album, by the same name
((try to play it without focus, it becomes really intense))
Really cool game, but there is a major bug at the point where you fight the air ship. If you die, when you load back in the ship does not respawn. There is no way to continue if you are killed. Just a heads up.
Shit. Guess I broke that fixing another bug :) Will release a fix today. (You can always backtrack to the previous checkpoint to re-trigger the heli, it's on the last stairway.) Thank you man!
It was like a modern remake of Berzerk I didn't know I wanted but now am clamoring for more. I urge you, if you made it this far, download it and get the hashtag #syscrusher making its rounds on social media. I want more adventures of the Syscrusher!
Holy shit. This game is an absolute blast! While I did run into some issues when forcing larger resolutions, and one respawn that reset the progression to the beginning, the games pace is glorious! It just keeps getting faster and faster with more and more to kill and doesn't relent until the final boss. It only took about 25 min to beat, but damn was it just fun the whole way through. Fantastic work! (but resolution options would be amazing)
Sorry coalfire bit in all honesty, your gameplays are far better than mine as you provide good constructive comments wheras I just to like to play and I have nothing much else to do to be honest. Keep up the great work coalfire.

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

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! :)

BACH: a natural fit for blasting robots with lasers. Thank you!

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

Surprised I missed this once since I've been following your page since the release of that game.

Pretty good! The bosses were weirdly too easy, but I had fun!
Thanks! :)
This was FANTASTIC - I'd totally buy a full game based on this demo :D
Thanks! :)
Amazing game, a lot of fun. the visuals are what pulled me in and when I beat the game all I felt after was a hunger for games with visuals as such. Maybe one day we'll see another SYSCRUSHER... a solid 8/10 in my books!
Thanks! :)
I just played through this game, it's amazing!
The visuals look great and have a very nice consistent artstyle.
I'd definitly love to see a longer game like this.
Thanks! :)
Okay, so this was way better than I thought it would be. The music is what really did it for me. The music, especially later on in the game, had me pumped to take down a rogue AI.

What a great review. Thanks! :)
Just being honest :D I'll be back to throw a few dollars your way soon
It's just a demo, save your money :) But thank you
I'll save my money for the full game! :D I love how you're still updating this demo even though you're working on a full one too.

really fun, would love to see more!
Thanks! :)

Syscrusher holds no grudge against dinosaurs. Thanks! :)
This was VERY fun!
Thanks! :)
so (for me at least) the file is a .rar file that I don't know how to run. How can I play this? I got it from the BLM bundle if that helps.
EDIT: I figured it out why does winRAR have to be so complicated
It's compressed to make for a faster download. Unzip it with a program like Winrar, then run the .exe . Good luck :)
I need more levels in this game, is sooooooo goood
There will be more in the future. Thanks! :)
been awhile since I've been on this page nice to see people still comenting on it
Keep 'em coming :)
This is really good and fun but unless i'm missing something this game cannot run in 1080p? Is there a possibility to add a 1080p resolution option in the future?
@DirigoGames
Please come back to Syscrusher, it was too fun. I've been hoping for some updates to polish the demo at least but nothing after almost a year.
Hey, thanks! Working on another game I think you'll like more. :) It's a hand-drawn/3d action adventure. Posting WIP shots on Twitter (@Dirigo_games)
WHOA, just checked it out your twitter. It looks truly amazing! when is it scheduled to release???
Great to hear, thanks :) Looking to have a demo up in a month or so
Fun 20 minutes! Music is cool, maybe beef up the bosses a bit (then again I play a ton of FPS, some people might not agree).

Those are great suggestions man. I agree with everything. Thanks!
Speed running the game is really fun but with no skip it does suck having to wait for everything after a restart =(.
And holy crap, nice bug find, never caught that!
Nice game, I had fun!
Thanks man!
Very, very fun game. I had a blast playing it. I'm a huge fan of the music and visual style of the game as well. Well done!
Thanks much man! :)
Right before you kill the heart it is possible to skip the giant end fight by simply jumping around the door. Just wanted to let you know. I hope there is more in the future.
System crushed! ;) Thanks for the bug, man
Daaaaamn, nice find!
Way too dam hard. Add dificulty settings
Did you try holding 'shift'? That's easy mode :)
Great demo had a lot of fun playing through it seeing what I can find or break.!

Hey man! Some super helpful stuff here. The skip is hilarious, good eye :) You have a future in pro playtesting. Many thanks !

Just me. The 'all weapons' cheat is HELP :) There's also a hidden room no one has found
Ha! Good work man. A picture of my dog ;)
Had a blast with this, would love to play more!
Hey thanks Xavier!
Really fun to play, super satisfying getting headshots on the normal grunts, it's great! One problem is the movement having a delay after you release the key you keep walking. Also I would love it if you didn't slow down when aiming down sight while in the air

Fixed in 1.0.4
Awesome video man. You found some nasty bugs I'd never seen, too. Thanks for the play test! :)
cool game but where is the any key - derp
Well, I was all out of gum so... kicking ass was the only thing left to do. Just ignore the times I fell and died. :)
You found some good bugs :) Thanks for the video man!
What can I say, bugs love me? :)

What a cracking game. This made my Saturday. The only fault is no full screen but well done.
Great fun.

You've been beating me to a lot of games lately Wobbly!
Sorry coalfire bit in all honesty, your gameplays are far better than mine as you provide good constructive comments wheras I just to like to play and I have nothing much else to do to be honest. Keep up the great work coalfire.
:)
Merry christmas everyone.
You're too kind my dude :)
Thanks coalfire, but you are good. Resepect
Awesome. Thanks for the video man. See you ran into a bug on the final boss door, sorry 'bout that. Fixing :)
That would be cool if you could fix that but please, don't fix the other bug :) Would be classed as a bug, maybe / maybe not.
Can you add full screen as well please :)
Regards and Merry Xmas
