They're crazy. And there's 88 of them!

<span class="bold">88 Heroes</span>, an endlessly replayable pandemonium of highly diverse action/platforming, is now available, DRM-free on GOG.com!

Seven Samurai? Ocean's Eleven? The Dirty Dozen? Pfff, they're not nearly enough! You need at least 88 madcap and downright ridiculous heroes to get the world out of this pickle. Alternate between all of them and use their unique abilities to mess up Dr. H8's secret lair, consisting of 88 crazy levels that must be completed within 88 seconds each. Ready? GO!

About that 88 cultural meaning...

Just few days ago a political party in Slovakia granted 1488 EUR to handicapped kids.

Are they neo-nazis? Actually yes, they are.

So it probably depends, where you live, in certain parts of EU at this time the 88 is significant enough to be not chosen by accident, but as a statement of support of certain brown movement.

Let's give the devs benefit of doubt and guess they did it as joke, not to hail anything evil (as they are probably from the part of the world where this is completely innocent and bad-taste humour only).

I'm more surprised than I should be that people are seriously linking the game to Nazis over a number. If it was 1488 heroes then that would be more plausible, but the focus of the game is on 8 and 88.

Are there 14 villains?

I'm actually starting to enjoy the game, but I think it's making me nauseous. Something about the camera, maybe how ridiculously zoomed in it is. Normally I only have to worry about getting sick from first-person games with low FOV. I remember Gex gave me this problem too.

It looks great, but unfortunately the regional pricing for my country pushes it over my financial instabuy limit. So to the wishlist it goes.

Hi, in-game do you see the whole playing area or is the game viewed from behind the bad guy in the foreground and your hero in the background on the TV?

Just asking because all the images on the store page have the bad guy plus the TV while the trailer does not.

The game is viewed behind the bad guy and all that. Robots even walk in front of the screen sometimes.

Ok, thank you. Is it annoying or not too bad?

It's not too bad once you get used to it, but I feel like it should be optional, which it isn't. The only important thing it shows is the overall timer, which could easily be somewhere else. I just wish I could zoom the screen out, since like I said I'm pretty sure the camera is making me nauseous, which is pretty rare for a 2D game, or at least for a modern one.

Cool, that explains it very well. Thanks again.
