You complete levels by reaching the end, and you have to stay alive while being attacked by strategically placed grunts. If it's been difficult to fill the void left by Hotline Miami, Anger Foot might be the remedy.Īnger Foot isn't too different from the Hotline Miami games, but it alters a few key aspects.

Developed by Free Lives and published by Devolver Digital, Anger Foot was announced a few months ago. For me, one of those indie titles is Anger Foot.

Then, a short time later, the beast would knock him back into the air and the sequence repeated … and with similar results. Down and up he’d go, a dizzying cycle, until by some miraculous coincidence, the command finally registered and he caught hold. He’d then respawn above the beast to try again, only to fail. And so, for a solid two minutes my Jedi would plummet downward, clench his arms around nothing but air, and fall into the abyss. I tried to time it to when an on-screen prompt appeared. But then when I’d repeat that move in several other sequences - trying to latch on to a creature to stop a free fall, for example - it wouldn’t register.
