Minimalist hipsters discover a portal that takes them to the viking era, and all they see is blood and skulls. They want to change that to something more minimalist. But ByeKing is not going to allow it. Now he is angry and he wants to kill all the hipsters!!

I don't much enjoy the dialogue, but the graphics are very nice!
the dialogue skipped forward too quickly. Nice unique take on the theme
I have uploaded a zip with the game. It works better if you download it :)
Hm, I didn't know there's such a term as "minimalist hipster" #TIL #LD48 #YOLO
I agree that the dialog runs too fast. I love how the screen shakes as the axe hits the ground, really gives that heavy impact feel.
Interesting take on the theme.
The dialog was a bit vulgar for the competition. I could see some folks being offended.
This was a lot of fun, one of the most fun I've played so far. It had some good laughs.
As for the complaints about the dialog, maybe replacing the offending words with viking words that start with the same letter?
Entertaining subversion of the theme, I like it. Gameplay itself felt satisfying, if not a little floaty. I felt like an angry viking would feel a bit more heavy.
All in all great fun though.
Thanks for the comments.
There was no intention to offend anybody with the dialogs, I'm sorry if that happened. As english is not my main language I didnt realize how bad it sounds. I will try to delete the last part somehow ;)
Hmm...I can see where some of the other commenters are coming from, but the game promised vikings, blood, and skulls, and it did deliver...overall, it was pretty fun and a well put-together entry!
Ok I uploaded a new version "clean version". I hope you enjoy it :)
That was needlessly violent, and funny. Attacking didn't seem to work half the time when I jumped which was a little frustrating. Happened most often right at the apex of a jump (when trying to attack the door). As the ground raised up it got a lot easier.
I must be cursed by the random number generator. Twice in a row I got a level with an impossible first jump.
Loved the humor, I thought for a second we were going to play the hipsters but to my delight we get to kill them!
Tried two times but it crashed both times after stepping out of the first door. I really like the art and music regardless
I really enjoyd hitting those hipsters, this game is quite addictive.
@cinnamonmelonpig
If it fails try to download it from the link. That version works ;)
It has something to do with the website is hosted in I guess..
Ahi, reventando la puerta de Doraemon :D Esta gracioso el concepto y el rollete de usar las colinas para pegarle al portal!
Lo que mas me ha gustado es la musica :)
Está muy chulo, es como mezclar el Lost Vikings con Day of the tentacle y alex kidd en uno jaja, espero que lo amplíes y le metas más cosas! :)
Odin is a minimalist hipster! Odin is pissed off!
Loved it! Great work, love the music & the style. Axing hippies ftw.
Ah ! Nice game.
The gameplay is a bit simple but it works pretty well.
The dialog goes to fast for reading them, sad :(.
Here I was thinking our game would be the only one with a hipster in it :) I dig it!
the game was a bit glitchy, but i adored the graphics and good god, the music is so very good. that is some chunky retro badassery. mr. garcia is a talented motherfucker
GREAT MUSIC!
Obviously, this is a crowd-pleaser, but I felt that the RAGE could have felt more RAGEy -- I need air-dash and power-slams!
Still, hard not to like.
Hahaha, awesome! The movement felt a little weird though imo, maybe try turning up the acceleration, air resistance and friction? Otherwise a fun and cheeky game, nice use of the theme!
Being a viking and killing minimalist hipsters with an axe... It's impossible to dislike it!
NIce job! Very satisfying to take an axe to a bunch of hipsters ;D Great art style and it made me chuckle!
I adore the narratives and enjoyed the game, well executed. Very funny :)
Great humor and graphics. I had a lot of fun choppin' hipsters. Great job!!
Haha, super cool. Liked the theme and totally wasn't expecting the gameplay. Great work!
Hahahahaha. Awesome game. Nice graphics, good humor and really fun to play :)
Very fun...There's something in the sound from Golden Axe game now ? (kick and the cry) lol
Thanks everyone for the ratings :)
@Adipson nop the sounds are from movies not from games :P
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA... I understand you dude. I know a lot of Minimalist Hipsters. Congratz!
One of the funniest games I've played :D The controls are good too, love the hipster dude
Was a bit of fun for a while, felt like it needed more tie to the theme and the dialogue was a bit too fast and jarring for my tastes, but it's something that's more personal methinks. Do love the animation style, it certainly has a cartoony, not serious vibe to it! I dig it :).
Bonus points for humour - the 8-bit style sounds were nice. I thought the hipsters would fight back - maybe if you work on it post-jam - hipsters could hurl projectile coffee or moustaches.
Quite funny. A bit too much on the dialogue. The loss screen gave me a chuckle "Oden became a hipster".
Nice game . in my opinion it needs more gameplay- or i did'nt the part where it changes .
Nice artwork and music. Took a minute to figure out that I was supposed to be attacking the door. Great sense of humor on this one, and the first cross between hipsters and vikings that I've seen.
well that was different -- intersting take on the theme -- good effort.
Very funny game. Y U NO LOVE MINIMALISM ART?! Just kidding. Nice game!
Very funny theme you got for your game... After destroying the door some times it gets pretty dull, but the art style and humour makes mi smirk ;) the background music is very cool
Craziest game idea so far! Cool and fun game, except a little short.
Very nice pixel art, congratulations!
Music and sfx are awesome and the game looks like alot of fun. At one point after the house level in the begining flash crashed because of the game.
Ha, this has the best name yet. The intro is also great, I luaghed when they hung up the painting :D
I love all the hipster-bashing games people are making this LD. Each one of them is more hilarious than the other. :D
It froze for a couple seconds during the same time the other commenters were complaining about. Not sure what that's about. Overall, entertaining game!
Nice nice!, love the art!, i was able to "kill" the portal around 500m !
Mwahahah, very fun.
I destroyed the hipsters door!!

Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
The game crashed a few times right after I got the first two hipsters and stepped out the door.
