REALLY love it but can't get it to go full screen and it doesn't seem to have gamepad support? Or maybe my gamepad just isn't cooperating with it. If those two things can be addressed, I would be playing this constantly! Great work
Hey there! Game has full screen and gamepad support. You can either use the controller on the press start screen and it’ll automatically set the game to use it, or in options you can select your gamepad- Do note however that if you’re using a PlayStation or Switch controller you’ll need to have steam open to use their input emulation. Full screen is also in the options as well.
This game is right up my alley. Love the retro graphics, and the gameplay reminded me of the golden age of the NES. A must play for anyone that enjoys games like Shovel Knight, or The Messenger.
A pitty that for now it is more like a demo, or unfinished prototype than a complete game, since not all the stages are playable for now.
I especially liked the Sewer level (wink, wink, nudge, nudge)
In any case, I would love to see this game completed.
I see. I for one hope you do. I mean, Panzer Paladin, Shovel Knight, The Messenger, Blazing Chrome, Infernax, Cathedral, Steel Assault, Micro Mages... the audience for cool 8bit and 16bit style games is booming right now, and they will love this game too. Be it because it reminds them of Powerblade or Shatterhand, or simply because they want more games with this feel and look. You have something really special here, or at least I think its special.
And that some day came! I just purchased the completed game on Steam, and I love it! Thank you so much for your work, and for completing this jewel of a retro platformer.

Could you release prison city on itch.io and gamejolt?
it’s on itchio already: https://retroware.itch.io/prison-city
Gamejolt is a maybe! I think if I did that I’d want to utilize their API though.
Makes sense!
really love the game looking forward to full release and also wanted to ask the pixel font you using its clean and readable
Thanks! I use LanaPixel and Silver- both really good TrueType fonts with CJK support
Awesome thankyou.There is just something special about retro game design
Made a video for the steam demo
Nice--it wears its Power Blade and Shatterhand influences on its sleeve. Hopefully this will get finished one day.

Oh! Yeah, I bet not having Steam open was the issue. I must have missed the full screen option.

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
This was such a fun game. It felt so much like an official game for the NES. Great job!
Awesome game. A really hard and well done hardcore game.
gahdamn
Beautiful. Perfect representation of the best NES games. This is like a mix of Contra, Shatterhand and Powerblade.
like retro but so hard
