My friend thought it would be funny to make a comic and name it after me. Its about this shrimp loving guy who gets magical powers and from a shrimp cup of noodles. We also turned it into a game. This concept game created in Visual Basic .NET to help me learn .NET. It mimics River City Ransom and Double Dragon with that RPGish feel. Gain levels, buy items, and increase your fighting skills as you advance through the game. The game consists of several areas.

IssaMan Game (In Development)

IssaMan is a River City Ransom / Double Dragon / RPGish type game written in VB.NET. IssaWoman has been captured by a ruthless street gang called "El Shrimpo Loco", and they are holding her hostage. Its up to you to take control of IssaMan, take back the streets, and rescue his woman.

Gain levels, buy items, and increase your fighting skills as you advance through the game. The game consists of several areas. You must unlock new areas, talk to people, and find out where to go. Head to the town to stock up before you go!

 

Gameplay

Basically you control Issaman around the city.  Beat up gangs and move around, check out the mall, enter shops to eat items and powerup, find special hidden items, and talk to people.  Its pretty basic gameplay wise.  There will also be strategy involved, like for one boss you might have to use dodge special moves and time them correctly.  To use special moves type the number then press the special move button to use it, watch out for MP though.
