Operation Hardcore is an action-packed 2D side-scrolling shooter inspired by classic twitchy action games of yesteryear, but with modern touches and conveniences.
Hey folks, it's been a while! I've prepared a new build that brings the game up to date with the Switch version, plus a few extras. It's mostly quality of life stuff, but I've also made it a bit easier to access some content as well (super secret level, ending cut scene).
[list]
[*]add loading screens in many places
[*]remove fugly "Gamepad recommended" screen
[*]change "Buy" key to E for keyboard/mouse, add dedicated icon
[*]always show Space secret exit
[*]always show ending (even if not starting from first level)
[*]add Cosmocat splash screen
[*]add support for D-pad movement/aiming (note: the game was designed for precise aiming with analog stick, so there are many places you'll want to use this instead)
[*]improved HUD
[*]add Discord link to pause menu
[*]drop 32-bit Windows support
[/list]
This is currently in the beta branch. I'll promote it to the main branch in a few days if nothing explodes.
If you don't currently own the game and are interested in checking it out, I've got a few keys up for grabs via the [url=https://cosmocatgames.com/discord/]Cosmocat Discord[/url]--just drop me a line in the #operation-hardcore channel.
