Hotline Combo System - Zack Attack

Post by LossForWords »

A kill-combo system, inspired by Hotline Miami 2's combo system.
Killing monsters give 600 points, carrying a combo gives you a multiplier.
Finding secrets also adds to your combo (800pts, finding all secrets gives you 1200), so you can carry a full combo with strategic secret finding on more familiar mapsets.
Finding all secrets and killing all monsters gives you a point bonus.
Killing all monsters gives you a bonus while carrying a 26+ kill combo gives you twice the points of the kill bonus.

Combo system and scoring system by Jarewill, i just tweaked the combo messages, and made the fonts.

Anyways to customize the size of this onscreen? I'm playing on delta touch and this thing looks huge.

This will be fun to play with certain kind of op weapon sets to see how well I can use them against vanilla, or more tough monsters.

Very cool!

Update, changed the positioning on the screen, and re-made the fonts, to replicate Hotline Miami 2's score/combo fonts better.

It's in this thread, and it's word for word the same as this one, save for the extended counter and added score system.

I tried this with the Harley Quinn weapon mod and it was tons of fun to play! Not a bad fit with humanoid enemies too, especially more mixed up enemies like the Russian mercenaries mod.

I think it would be nice to have a few custom sound bits to play with certain scores reached, with player control over what plays in the options, and maybe under what general score goals (Like "YES!" sound played every 10,000 or 100,000 points.)

...no?

Unless you have a game breaking bug to report, it's working as intended.

So the recent image, that's not the current version? Because when I downloaded it, it's the other version with the multiplier being on the top center.
