Quote:

Blood Alloy is a 2D Metroidvania that is currently being developed for Windows, Mac, and Ouya, with a very open eye to other consoles and handhelds. You play as a young female amnesiac who, thanks to a software malfunction, regains consciousness in a high-tech laboratory. Upon discovering that your body is now almost wholly cybernetic, you break out of your stasis pod to escape, discover the secrets behind your identity, and wreck havoc upon your enemies.

Explore a world teetering on the brink of apocalypse. Upgrade your cybernetic body with power-ups, including those you literally rip from the smoking remains of your foes. Amass a growing arsenal of diverse weaponry, each with unique tactical uses. And as you explore the catacombs, skyways, and streets of a dystopian future you'll change the very destiny of humanity itself.

Blood Alloy takes place in a dystopian, urban science-fiction future that draws inspiration from the works of Syd Mead, Bladerunner visionary. Cybernetically-augmented soldiers and military drones patrol the streets, enforcing martial law with an iron fist - literally. The oppressed live in absolute squalor, many of whom are forced to pay dues to feudal crime lords. If they exist at all, your friends are few and far between.

I'm getting a huge "Abuse" vibe coming from this, it looks really fun! It looks basic though and I'm worried that's going to put a lot of people off from backing it, especially as the absolute minimum the developers need is $50k, but I'm hopeful nonetheless! I'd play the shit out of this Very Happy

There was a game looking similar to it written by one guy with different endings avaliable for free. So I don't see a reason to back it up.

Found it - Iji.

It's awesome.
