Developers Forgingames is a small indie team that has recently made their way to the gaming scene. Their new game project they are working on is called Furious Jack, a stylized 2D, side-scrolling beat’em up that looks like it was inspired by popular beat’em up game, Shank.

The above image in the header is the art style they are going with for Furious Jack, the actual game looks pretty similar, but in a zoomed out side-scrolling perspective. The first thing that will probably grab your attention, is how smooth the characters move with their animations and the amount of detail they put into the characters and environment.

The story itself will play out in the form of an animated comic, with detailed artwork to carry the narrative forward.

The developers say that Furious Jack will have about 10 hand crafted stages for you to play through, a variety of weapons ranging from guns, to knives and swords to brutally dispatch your enemies, as well as devastating hand to hand combat as Furious Jack pummels his enemies into a literal bloody pulp. The developers released a series of videos on their YouTube channel showcasing what the game is like, so I linked the video below. Check it out.
