Foppygames’ developer Robbert of the Netherlands, has a little game called Ranger in the works. The game has been in development since August of 2008 and features a gun wielding commando guy blasting his way from bottom to top of his 2D world. The recently released video you’ll find below shows the games main character tossing grenades blowing up terrain, making craters, and killing those pixel bastard things. Things I liked most about the video include: the use of cover and line of sight, the trees blowing up, and the grenades leaving craters. That said, I am a little curious how the whole control scheme is going to work, it seems pretty fluid in the video but references on the development blog seem to indicate that it uses the arrow keys to rotate the character and move forward and backward. Seems unintuitive but what the hell do I know.
