Hawks With Wings - Dave Quest

About

Dave Quest is a 2D beat 'em up created by Danny Gibson and Billy Gibson for their friend Dave's birthday. The game stars Dave and his girlfriend as they travel through a neighborhood to get to a train station. Inevitably, they are stopped by 80s-era punks whom Dave and his girlfriend must teach the error of their ways to. And, of course, the only way to do so is with their own sense of two-fisted justice. They also have some pretty foul-mouths, so sorry if that offends you.

All music was created and provided by Gary DiFiore-Ridolph . You can find his website here. Give his stuff a listen when you can.

Additional Information

This game was created in just a month, being made in the entirety of March 2018. The intent was to get it done and relatively bug-free by Dave's birthday that year and to include as many references to their circle of friends as they could. With careful planning, they were able to do exactly that. And now, you're free to play it here. Of course, some of the jokes, gameplay elements, and even sprites are inside jokes, so hopefully you enjoy punching things. Or at least pretending you get them.
