A downloadable game for Windows

HITLINE

A game made for the Indie Tales Jam!

Inspired in the Hotline Miami and Hitman series, Hitline is a top-down stealth shooter in a single floor-layout building.

As a contract killer working for the HITLINE organization, you're tasked with taking care of the mafia leader Ilbonzo, who resides in that one mysterious building. You know which one. When you enter, however, you realize that not only is it full of guards - great, more work to do -, but every floor has the exact same layout!

Controls

WASD: Move

Left Mouse Button: Shoot

R Key: Restart floor (only when dead)

F1: Reset game

3rd party assets

SFX: Chiptone

Music: Chippy's Chiptune Music Pack

Post jam update!

The post jam update fixed a couple known bugs and added a few features:

  • Speedrun timer is fixed (yay!), and now is an optional setting
  • Added a cursor around the player
  • A bullet is found in one room, and when picked up it reloads ammo (useful most likely against the boss)

The Esteban update! 

aka the speedrun build

An update made in honor of Esteban300, due to him running the game and wanting some useful updates (understanding my code took longer than it should've, I think we're due for a remake...)

  • Added a keybind (F1) to reset the game instead of having to close and reopen it
  • Modified cursor to use the computer's cursor in the whole screen instead of the previous one
  • Added a hidden counter for the floors (LiveSplit stuff)

If someone's interested in the speedrun, this is the build you're looking for, and you can checkout the speedrun.com page of the game! We have an autosplitter, even though the game has an in game speedrun timer, but it can help you track each individual floor's progress

Future plans

The Goku Update

  • I'll literally just add Goku hair to the player character because I can (please don't sue me)
  • Pause Menu - still deciding whether to pause the timer or not when paused
  • Individual floor selection to practice each floor, maybe?

I didn't plan to update the game prior to this, but if there are small or funny things I might update it. I still would want to remake it/make something different with the same idea though

Install instructions

Download the .zip file, extract it and execute the Hitline.exe file.

IF FOR SOME REASON it says the download has a virus, it's a false positive, there's no virus, I don't know why that's happening and I keep pulling my hairs trying to find a solution. The Post Jam Version doesn't have that issue, only The Esteban Update, so you can play that one if you don't trust it.

Thanks for playing! I certainly didn't expect that someone would record it, and even upload it to YouTube!
