Features

Experience a modern take on old school game genres: SodaCity is heavily based on classic beat ‘em ups from the SNES era but the main gameplay mechanic is shooting, so we ended with a shoot ‘em up with the weird, tilted, 2.5D perspective of classic beat ‘em ups.

Try out 38 upgradeable weapons: Weapons differentiate themselves by their different stats, which are: Damage, Range, Ammo per clip, reload speed, Rate of Fire. We focused on making every weapon type relevant for different situations.

Fight your way across 18 levels in 6 different zones: As you progress through the game, you will dismantle parts of the main crime organization. The difficulty progresses as more “intelligent” and “emotionally” stable enemies appear with more powerful weapons.

Overcome 7 boss battles: Each boss is the leader of an specific crime group. In order to clear a zone you need to beat the corresponding boss. Boss fights operate as separate levels. Each boss have unique attacks that offer a different type of challenge.

Bullet Time! Each kill has a small probability of activating the bullet time effect, in which time slows down but the player gets to move faster than the enemies, offering an advantage for a limited time. It’s possible to add time by increasing the combo meter.

Full controller support: Because the amount of challenge and the comfort that a controller provides, we recommend to play SodaCity with controller. On PC the game was developed and tested using a wired Xbox360 gamepad controller. On Mac the game was developed and tested using a PS3 gamepad controller.
