100/10 is a great rating, thank you! More of everything is being worked on at this very second. You can check the Free Lives Discord or Twitch streams for more current happenings.
Seriously one of the most unique games I've played in a long time. All the elements come together so well to create an experience that's just metal AF and so much fun. Can't wait to see more.
The gameplay, visuals, and everything was amazing. This was a very well-made game. Keep up the great work! I'll be glad to make more content on this for sure.
Took me totally by surprise. I've played games with a "kick" mechanic before, but never within such a responsive world with such explosive and visceral action. The ragdolling, destruction, audio design, and dynamic soundtrack are so well integrated. I'll be using this game as an example of how to do a few things incredibly well to surpass your predecessors. I'll be downloading again so I can send you money. And I'm jumping into the discord right now.
Game can get really laggy at times! but god damn its addictive! really reminds me of Hotline Miami! the soundtrack just everything is perfect! if this game ever releases as a full game ill definitely buy this 100%!!
really good game! runs well on my KDE neon (ubuntu linux) laptop (intel uhd620 gpu, 8 core cpu), the game is a bit laggy though but thats probably just my machine. a make the game windowed option would be really good, as i play my games in discord calls and streaming games is kinda weird when its fullscreen, but besides that no complaints!! will deffo play many times.
I played this a year ago and I forgot to write a review :(. Me and my friends played this in the middle of covid and omg. I. love. it. I always had a disliking to shooter games but this game was just so fun and amazing. I cant think of any issues other than if the game was longer because I would love to play more!!! Anger foot is so much fun and I think I have a newfound love for first person shooter games now !!
Most likely weapons, Maybe perks like one where you don't die in two shots or throw your gun to knock them down or I can help you with more Idea if you want, hope thats a good idea
Absolutely amazing. My computer chugs at a couple key points, but it didn't stop me from having an awesome time with the game. Sometimes the bullets feel inconsistent, but that could be my aim more than anything.
Comments like these seem to be abundant, but good f'ing job with the game. Every now and then I do another playthrough and every time it is a blast. So excited for your future projects!
This was AMAZING. Played it before when it was like in version 0.3 and thought I would try it again now, and boy am I glad it did. The adrenaline rush when the music starts and you start kicking and shooting, the hype is really well paced and the levels are more crammed and shorter, which allows for better condensed energy, it was all so well and done amazingly. Game's just getting better and better and the work done on this is absolutely amazing. Great job!!
With more content, I wouldn't even blink at a 20-ish dollar price tag on steam, and though it might be a hassle if this game got some form of co-op, I would happily bump it up another 10. It would slot right in with games like My Friend Pedro and Hotline Miami.
I only encountered one bug (as to be expected in a beta), where the game would deepfry itself in the main menu and quickly turn black, slamming my GPU to 100% usage in the process, causing my RTX2080 to give off the most nightmarish coil whine I've ever heard to the point I was genuinely worried.
However, that aside.
As it stands, this is an excellent game already and absolutely worth the play, and definitely worth it for the devs to make a full release out of one day.
Thank you for the thorough and thoughtful feedback! Yes I'm sure as the game finds it's final form it will be optimised for better performance on a variety of systems. Good wishes are always welcome - thank you again!
By the way - I would love an option to 'auto throw when gun is empty' so that I can easily just play with WASD as well as just 2 mouse buttons - when there are 3 important buttons on the mouse it gets a bit awkward for me with the fast pace! Cheers
TL;DR: This game is perfect for people who want a Hotline Miami-esque ego shooter. Its fast, has a driving soundtrack and a variety of tools to fit your personal playstyle. And shoes! And who doesn't love shoes.
Anger Foot is what you get when you take Hotline Miami, change the perspective from Top-Down to Ego, use a 3D-Cartoon Artstyle instead of Pixel Graphic, and switch out the Synthwave for Rave Music.
This is not me saying that Anger Foot is a total Hotline Miami ripoff, on the one hand, because I don't like the word ripoff, on the other hand, because Anger Foot has its own identity as a game already so that Hotline Miami can be best described as an inspiration and not as a blueprint.
For example, the "One Hit = Death" policy of HM doesn't apply to Anger Foot. You die from one melee hit, sure, but you can take two shots before you go down, except for when you get hit by the full blast of a shotgun.
This brings me to the enemies: Anger Foot has around 10 distinct enemy types, which all die in one hit, none of the overpowered and all unique. The most common and the earliest introduced are the bat crocodiles and the pistol fish, but there are also foes that use more ways to fight than simple hitting and shooting.
You will probably do a fair bit of shooting yourself, in fact, all guns of the enemies are available to you. There are four guns in total. You have the pistol, which is your slow but accurate option, the SMG, which fires fast but is not accurate on distance, the shotgun, which spreads but has a short range, and the plunger grappling hook, which is not really a gun, because it's shot a grappling hook that pulls enemies toward you.
All guns work as you imagine and all of them have their place in gameplay, my least favorite being the shotgun because while it spreads, it has the slowest firing rate, which is quite disadvantageous in the later levels where you have to fight more than five enemies at once in close spaces at some points.
Speaking of slow, while there is no highscore system, the game counts how many enemies you have killed in a level and how long it did take you to complete it.
Some of the unlockables are explicitly tied to your best time. These unlockables come, fitting to the title of the game in the form of shoes, which give you special abilities, comparable to the masks in Hotline Miami.
These shoes are unlocked by earning medals, essentially the achievements of this game. You get these for beating levels in a specific time or killing a number of enemies with headshots or exploding barrels, among others, which of course adds to the replayability of the levels, next to the rush and the need to beat your best time.
I only got one pair of shoes so far, the Air Violence, which fill up your gun with every kill. By the way, the devs totally missed the chance to call them Pumped Up Kicks, just saying.
When this seems to you like an ability with zero upsides, then because I didn't mention the attack which this game owes his title from, the kick.
The kick kills every enemy with one hit and is also the only way to open doors and therefore the only way to get through the levels. You can kick everywhere at any time, given that you are still alive, which is very useful when you ran out of ammo or are otherwise more inclined to melee. One enemy type even can only be killed by a kick attack. It is possible to get through all levels with just this attack, which I can see myself doing someday, because jump-kicking in this game is so darn fun.
The only other attack besides the kick is throwing your guns, however, this just stuns for a short time the enemies, so you have to kill them off otherwise. Never really used it that much, but its there, so if you into that stuff, go for it.
If you ask yourself why I have not mentioned the plot of the game till this point then this is because the game hasn't one. Maybe some very minor enviormental storytelling and there is a sequence teasing at a narrative at the end, but otherwise, you are just one guy going into sewers and apartment buildings to kill the partying crowd.
To be honest, I don't need more story than that, but I am still curious if they will add a full narrative in the full release, just because Hotline Miami started out relatively senseless, but had so much more under the hood and I would like to see that again.
But that would be all. Other than the fact that it is a bit too easy to camp behind doors and wait for enemies to come to you, which is counteracted by some enemy types, I don't have much to criticize.
Honestly, add an online leaderboard and you would already have a solid 3 bucks game to publish on Steam.
Not to long - totally did read. Thank you for all the kind words and suggestions. I'm totally passing on the leaderboard and Pumped Up Kicks suggestions to the team.
I love the game but I noticed If you jump at the same time as kicking you suddenly kick with 2 legs, don't know if its meant to be that way as like meant to represent kicking from the side and my pc is just slow or if its by accident, i got a couple laughs out of seeing it though! I'll see if i can get pictures
Would like a v-sync function or frame limit as the game wants to max out the GPU with more frames than are needed. But I really love the game, excellent music, art and gameplay.
Oh should have a vending Machine in the levels, so each starting level or in-game you have a ticket system to get a random item, or choose it of your own choice

100/10 best game I've played so far, maybe add a bit optimization and some more Slavic hardbass and more guns, this can become a HIT game.
100/10 is a great rating, thank you! More of everything is being worked on at this very second. You can check the Free Lives Discord or Twitch streams for more current happenings.
Seriously one of the most unique games I've played in a long time. All the elements come together so well to create an experience that's just metal AF and so much fun. Can't wait to see more.
More is being worked on as we speak. Thanks for the positive feedback !
Thanks again for another great upload. " Gimme that Uze-matic" is the hit we never knew we needed.
Made a video about this game for french viewers. It was fun to play, well-made and dynamic! Keep going, I'd love to see more of this game !
Best French V-tuber Anger Foot upload that I've seen thus far - thank you! Gave your video a like.
The gameplay, visuals, and everything was amazing. This was a very well-made game. Keep up the great work! I'll be glad to make more content on this for sure.
Thanks for the positive words - gave your video a thumbs up on Youtube.
Got some weapons that could be used in the game, like a tommy gun, maybe a AA- 12 shotgun with small mag or a M1014, I got more Ideas if you want..
Suggestions are always welcome and appreciated

This comment has all the things that make a dev team happy. Thank you. Nice to see people noticing all the hard work.
Game can get really laggy at times! but god damn its addictive! really reminds me of Hotline Miami! the soundtrack just everything is perfect! if this game ever releases as a full game ill definitely buy this 100%!!
A full game is the ultimate goal! Thank you for the positive feedback.
really good game! runs well on my KDE neon (ubuntu linux) laptop (intel uhd620 gpu, 8 core cpu), the game is a bit laggy though but thats probably just my machine. a make the game windowed option would be really good, as i play my games in discord calls and streaming games is kinda weird when its fullscreen, but besides that no complaints!! will deffo play many times.
Awesome to get more Linux user feedback. Thank you.
how to reset this game save data?
I'm afraid the save file is in regedit so it's a lil tricky if you don't know your way around. The next versions will have save options.
This is my 3rd time playing this game and it's still amazing it's so epic.
Epic is good! Always happy to hear that people still have a good time on repeat plays. Thanks!
I played this a year ago and I forgot to write a review :(. Me and my friends played this in the middle of covid and omg. I. love. it. I always had a disliking to shooter games but this game was just so fun and amazing. I cant think of any issues other than if the game was longer because I would love to play more!!!

Fun and amazing are words that we like! Thanks for getting back to us, the team appreciates the positive feedback.
you can’t, but you can shoot the head on the floor.
Also you can kick it towards enemies, though it’s a bit finicky.

Thanks for the suggestions :)
How did you guys develop this volumetric blood? The feel is awesome and very stylish!
volumetric blood is above my pay level - I'll ask one of the blood boys to respond.
Hahahaha
i'll add "blood boy" as desired position in my next resumes haha
Absolutely amazing. My computer chugs at a couple key points, but it didn't stop me from having an awesome time with the game. Sometimes the bullets feel inconsistent, but that could be my aim more than anything.
Thanks for the positive feedback! I'm sure as things progress the game will be optimised to work on a variety of setups.
this EASILY became 1 of my favorite games!!!
When an upload starts with freestyle bars - I know we were in for a winner. Thanks for the vid - gave you a like on Youtube.

The team is working on new content - so hopefully a Steam version could be a reality at some point. Thank you.
Comments like these seem to be abundant, but good f'ing job with the game. Every now and then I do another playthrough and every time it is a blast. So excited for your future projects!

Yoo amazing video, I love the explodey wodey part, keep up the amazing work
- from, your 666th sub
Brutal gameplay 10/10. inspired in games like Hotline miami or Superhot, if you like frenetic action games this one a hidden gem
Frenetic is a great word. Thank you.
With more content, I wouldn't even blink at a 20-ish dollar price tag on steam, and though it might be a hassle if this game got some form of co-op, I would happily bump it up another 10. It would slot right in with games like My Friend Pedro and Hotline Miami.
I only encountered one bug (as to be expected in a beta), where the game would deepfry itself in the main menu and quickly turn black, slamming my GPU to 100% usage in the process, causing my RTX2080 to give off the most nightmarish coil whine I've ever heard to the point I was genuinely worried.
However, that aside.
As it stands, this is an excellent game already and absolutely worth the play, and definitely worth it for the devs to make a full release out of one day.
You certainly have my good wishes.
Thank you for the thorough and thoughtful feedback! Yes I'm sure as the game finds it's final form it will be optimised for better performance on a variety of systems. Good wishes are always welcome - thank you again!
great game running on a dell laptop it is great!!!!
Great game is great! Thank you for the great comment! Love that it worked on your laptop :)
bout to try game might not run on my system lets see!
Cool game!
By the way - I would love an option to 'auto throw when gun is empty' so that I can easily just play with WASD as well as just 2 mouse buttons - when there are 3 important buttons on the mouse it gets a bit awkward for me with the fast pace! Cheers
Thanks for the input regarding the input. I'll pass the suggestion on to the team.

Not to long - totally did read. Thank you for all the kind words and suggestions. I'm totally passing on the leaderboard and Pumped Up Kicks suggestions to the team.
Thank you, I appreciate that. Also, tell them to keep up the good work :)
Will do!
Wow!
Indeed!
I love the game but I noticed If you jump at the same time as kicking you suddenly kick with 2 legs, don't know if its meant to be that way as like meant to represent kicking from the side and my pc is just slow or if its by accident, i got a couple laughs out of seeing it though! I'll see if i can get pictures
im pretty sure its supposed to be a drop kick!
Fantastic game! Need multiple save files please. Btw, where is the save file located?
this game was crazy fun! Looking forward to revisiting it in the future!
Thanks for the upload - gave your video a like on Youtube.
Dear creators,
I love the game unfortunantly I did not have enough money do pay but i think you should keep it up and wish you the best.
We love that you love it. Thank you for the encouraging words.
Would like a v-sync function or frame limit as the game wants to max out the GPU with more frames than are needed. But I really love the game, excellent music, art and gameplay.
Thanks for the positive feedback - these are things that I'm sure the team will add/attempt to add as the game reaches it's final form.
Wow this is such a fun game keep up the good work
The good work most certainly continues - thanks for playing :)
It would be good if you could shoot pigeons legs just to kinda stun them before you kill them. Then you would have time to fight them all.
Interesting! Thanks for the suggestion.
Oh should have a vending Machine in the levels, so each starting level or in-game you have a ticket system to get a random item, or choose it of your own choice
What kind of things would you expect to see in the vending machine?
