Iron Fist

Moby ID: 51879

Description

Iron Fist is a side-scrolling martial arts game. Using your keyboard, walk along the land, punching or kicking crates to reveal what they hold. Gather bronze, silver and gold coins and emerald gems. If you encounter an enemy, it is time for the fists and feet to fly! If you need to recover health, eat some food but be careful of the green food as it has spoiled and will poison you. Some green items will give you boosts, like higher jumps, faster speed or faster punches. Their red equivalents do the opposite, like slowing you down, reducing your jump height or making your punch/kick weaker.

Trivia

Development

Iron First is unfinished. The game mentions that you gather coins to spend in a store but there is no store. There are only six levels. Two things caused Jake Birkett to abandon the game:

1.) He had been working about a year, late night, on the game while still making business software during the day. He was ready to crash and burn.

2.) There was no easy way to sell the game. There was no Xbox LIVE!, Playstation Network, WiiWare, Steam, iPhone, etc. at that time. Having played the game Bejeweled and other casual games, he decided that was the way to go if he wanted to make games full time.
