Hero Boy 1.3 Update: Arena Mode!

After some sorting-out of a long-running Unity issue we're back with Hero Boy's biggest update, version 1.3, which adds an Arena Mode where you can battle against waves of different enemies on different maps taken from the main Hero Boy campaign! The further you get in the waves, the less damage you take and the less you rely on your special attacks, the higher your score will be! The difficulty modifiers from the campaign will also work in the Arena Mode, allowing for more replayability! High scores are saved in the game itself. Currently there are no leaderboards but we will consider adding them in the future.

Update Version 1.2!

We've just put out update version 1.2! This update adds two new features to the game. The first is that we've added scoring to the game! The second is that in the launch menu when starting a game we've added optional difficulty modifiers that allow you to tweak the difficulty of the game in more personal ways! These include slowing down the charge rate of special attacks, increasing enemy damage, and other abilities!

Hero Boy Version 1.1 Patch

Our first post-release update patch has just been rolled out! There is now a NewGame+ mode available that unlocks all the special weapons at the start of the game. We have also added an Easy and Hard mode for the game! Hero Boy currently has partial controller support. All gameplay sections work with controllers but menus currently require keyboard and mouse to use. We've started fixing that by making the main menu controller usable! We will have the game be completely controller compatible by our next update!

Update 11/3/16: Soundtrack now available for purchase!

Hello everyone! Our first piece of DLC for Hero Boy has now been made available for purchase: the original soundtrack composed by Paul Wiele! Be sure to buy it here! We have also fixed an audio bug in the game over screen that caused the game over music to play in the main game once it was reloaded and have hopefully addressed a depot issue that prevented Windows 10 users from being able to play. We'll be putting out a lot of updates in the coming weeks! Please help spread the word about our game in the mean time!

  • Hero Boy is a 2D beat-em-up/horror game set inside the notebook of Max, an 8 year old boy chronicling a zombie outbreak. Max, a daydreamer who struggles with bullies in school and has difficulty making friends, is thrust into the middle of the outbreak. As Max witnesses the world crumbling around him, his usually fun doodles become more twisted. You must fight through hordes of enemies...imaginary and real...in order to survive.

    Hero Boy is a beat-em-up in the vein of Golden Axe and Double Dragon. Using combos will let you do moves that deal more damage along with other effects like increased knockback and stuns. As you defeat more enemies, your charge meter will fill up. Once it's filled, you'll be able to use your special move. You unlock new special moves as the game progresses that grant different benefits. The game has a wide variety of enemies to fight who will make use of a combination of melee, ranged, or area of effect attacks. You'll be fighting these enemies in different combinations as you progress.
