Image has announced that Chris Giarrusso’s G-Man has gotten the online game treatment!
Giarrusso has unveiled the game on his web site, which is an old-school Flash-powered game, complete with all the characters from the G-Man universe.
“In developing G-MAN: CAPE CRISIS: THE VIDEO GAME we decided to work in the grand tradition of such literal blockbusters as Breakout and Arkanoid,” Giarrusso said in a release. “While it’s not necessary for fans of the comic to play the game, we do promise it will expand on the series’ storyline, allowing a total immersion experience into the world of G-MAN: CAPE CRISIS.”
Cape Crisis is set to come out as a new Image book on August 12.

Still needs play testing and tweaking. Right now, there are some deal killer bugs for playability.
- Collision detection between the extra balls and the bricks is awful. There are circumstances where the balls should EASILY bounce out of their now open confines, but mysteriously don’t.
- In the 2nd level, I had one of those extra balls pop down from the top of the screen to the bottom and there was no actual opening for it to do so.
- There should be more variety to the level design, which is okay for a simple flash proof of concept game. However, as a site bonus, it [level design] should be a little more varied.
Personally, given that G-Man flies, I would have done a Defender/Gradius clone.
G-Man deserves more exposure. It’s a fun comic. It would even make for a fun cartoon or NDS/PSP game.
