Fatal Theory (tuxdb.com)

IF YOU'RE A MAC OSX USER THINKING TO BUY, PLEASE READ THIS. We encountered an issue with our Mac OSX builds where toggling to fullscreen would outright crash the game. We've removed fullscreen from the display menu, but added extra windowed screen sizes so you can still enjoy it at a larger resolution. We can easily add new screen sizes to the list too. If it's still too small for whatever massive display you may have, let us know your screen size and we can work with it. But we just can't do actual full screen. From our tests it seems to be a problem with the framework we built the game in, SDL 1.2 (although we'd love to be proven wrong on this, because it'd mean we could fix it). If that's the case, our only option would be to migrate the game to SDL 2, which at this point would be a massive rewrite all for the sake of fullscreen compatibility on Mac. We just don't have the time or resources to do something like that. So different window resolutions is all we have to play with right now. It's disappointing I know! We wish it worked too. But windowed isn't so bad, and the gameplay is worth it. If you're teetering on the edge and wondering if you should still buy given the issue, remember you have 2 hours in which you can get a full refund on the game -- use it! Try it first. And let us know your thoughts either way :) Cheers, 2HitAdam

Important Information for Mac Players! EDIT: FIXED

EDIT: The below information is outdated as it appears we've fixed this problem. So fullscreen should work for Fatal Theory now.

Fatal Theory Linux Content [326.89 M]

Fatal Theory is nostalgic beat-em-up action with a fresh twist of ENDLESS AERIAL RAVE COMBOS and a killer illustrated story. Exercise your carnage muscle by smashing through huge hordes of unlovable fiends, meet a bizarre cast of characters (and subsequently slay a good 90% of them in wicked boss battles) and take your crummy city back from the forces of hell!

Chunky retro pixels: check.
Tight, fluid controls: check.
Combat cranked to 11: check.
Story that makes the writer want to drink until he forgets: check!

The Story

You play as Nick Mayhem, who has just had his night RUDELY INTERRUPTED by news of the dead walking the streets and doesn't think twice before picking up a baseball bat and taking the fray head on! Soon Nick will find himself tangled up with screwy demon generals and their armies of hell, fighting his way to the head honcho with only a judgemental talking sword for guidance.

Can Nick Mayhem save his city from destruction?

Will he find love in a city mid-apocalypse?!?

The Game

Wreak havoc through huge waves of enemies and 9 nifty boss battles. Execute chaotic special attacks by filling your rage bar and pulling off Street Fighter-esque button combinations. String together big combos and be rewarded with a big damage multiplier. Unlock 6 weapons and level them up to gain new special attacks to wreck fools with. Make cold cash by completing levels, spend it pumping up Nick's stats to get stronger. Do it all while enjoying an off-beat, darkly humorous story illustrated in cool comic book style.

The Features

Fully illustrated, darkly humorous story mode
Power up! Find new weapons, level them up to unlock devastating new special attacks, and pump up Nick's stats at the shop.
Local multiplayer: co-op in arcade mode or duke it out in versus, with gamepad support for 1-2 controllers.
Survival mode - destroy all comers, forever!
Mod friendly: literally everything in the game can be reskinned.

The Heart

Fatal Theory is a game crafted with love by two brothers who tried to make a simple 2D fighting game and got completely carried away. Matt coded the entire engine and game from scratch, did the bulk of the character animations, and illustrated the story. Adam wrote the dialogue, filled in the background art with life and detail, did the other portion of character animations and generally spit-shined things. The game has been in on-and-off development and various states of release for years, but we're proud to say this is the best version yet.
