I want a 2D Everett True beat-em-up in the style of River City Ransom where you go around thrashing decreasingly objectionable enemies, and eventually you go too far and it becomes a doomed boss rush where the whole town rises up to stop you

Too late I’m doing this.

RcRs mechanic of a dialogue area at the bottom for enemies to give a last quip after defeat would be perfect

I got drawn in thinking this dude only acted out against the unjust. I’ve seen more now and he just meets his every annoyance with immediate violence.

The thing is, sometimes his wife or kids go off on him and he takes it. Not sure how to feel about that.
