Kicking enemies is great. Do the doors kick down? Also fantastic. Using that math, kick doors down so hard that they fly into enemies double large. FPS Angry foot is full of doors and enemies and all you have to do is kick one into the other.
Anger Foot has been around for a while, the product of a game jam challenge in 2020 to create a first-person game in seven days, which was followed by a proper alpha in 2021. In the last year, it has been continuously updated with new levels, enemies, weapons, props and music tracks – plus lots of new shoes for all the kicks you have to make.
I dived in for the first time today and it reminds me a lot of Hotline Miami, only it’s in first person. Its levels are packed with armed gang members (anthropomorphic animals like crocodiles and crows) ready to swarm you the second you kick your way through the front door. Most objects can be crushed, from toilets to light fixtures to furniture, so once you have kicked your way through the level, the whole place is a plaster, flooded with blood and filled with rubbish. (Hallways typically have exploding barrels in their hiding places, right?) Levels are timed, so once you’ve broken through one, you can run it again to see if you can break your own record.
The kick is simply excellent. I have made an assembly for you:
You do not just need chairs (haha) on your feet. There are also weapons: pistols, shotguns and uzis, and you’ll probably need them at some point, because as good as you are at kicking, it only takes a bonk from an enemy bat or a few bullets to Sit down. . There is no reloading of your weapons – when your gun is empty, you will have to grab another from a dead guy. (You can throw your empty gun at dudes too briefly to stun them). But it’s fun to see if you can just kick your way through entire lanes without ever hitting a trigger, plus making a run “feet only” rewards you with trophies that let you unlock new shoes.
I unlocked a pair of new shoes that give me extra ammunition when I kick someone to death, but I prefer the shoes that give all my kicks extra power. I also have some sneakers that let me charge an extra powerful kick and it’s fun. I’m basically becoming Superman with one foot:
The whole thing is very brutal, bloody, silly and completely foot-oriented. At one point, I came across a heavy steel door I could not kick down. Next to it was a metal valve wheel that apparently had to be turned to open the door. At first I could not figure out how to turn it around. Then I realized, like all problems, that it could be solved with a kick.
Adding to the atmosphere is the bangin ‘soundtrack, which gives boring techno-dunk all the time, as if you are standing outside a nightclub. But the beats ramp up to a full-blown techno-rave whenever there is action. As an added bonus, when your enemies kill you, they dance to the beat and they dance quite well.
Anger Foot is pure silly over-the-top violence with killer beats for killer feet. This is especially great if you are in a crunchy mood and just want to kick your way through a building full of animal gangsters and leave a trail of broken doors and bloody bodies in your wake. You can grab the latest build here at itch.io for simply “mention your own price”.
