SAGE 2023 - Complete Super Freaks Classic Pack

ITCH.IO LINK

So, cut your teeth on Super Freaks 1 Ultimate Edition and want more classic Super Freaks stuff? Who am I to say no?



This pack contains every classic Super Freaks game I could grab, including a few that have never been released online beforehand.
WARNING: This pack contains "Polished" versions of some of the games that makes some small adjustments to things like level designs, bosses, etc., while also fixing some bugs. Although the original versions are included, you really should just play the polished versions instead.

• Super Freaks 1: The Search for Tikiman (2006)- The game that started it all. It's not great, but if you're looking to play the origins of Ultimate Edition, it's here in all of its rough glory.
  • Super Freaks 1 Remastered (2016) - Made to celebrate the 10th anniversary (and also for a little practice), Remastered overhauls Super Freaks 1 under the hood and swaps in the modern characters for a much better experience, while also adding some extra levels as a bonus. It's kind of an in-between of 2006 and Ultimate Edition, which originally started as a GMS2 port and would better develop its new ideas.
• Super Freaks 2: Scruffy's Quest (2007) - Super Freaks 2 doesn't fundamentally change much, but it does add attempts at cool setpieces and better boss fights, with a more exciting tone and pacing to it. There are also new vehicle levels featuring the Freakmobile and a giant robot.
• Super Freaks Presents: Scruffy Rides Again (2007) - A top down shooter instead of a platformer. It's a bit rough but it's a pretty weird and neat experience that tries to mix in platformer elements. In 2012 there was an attempt to make a DX version which was much better, but due to finishing up Ultimate I couldn't get it ready in time for SAGE. Maybe next year!
• Super Freaks 3: Scruffy 3: A Day in the Life (2008) - The third proper Super Freaks game introduced the Speed and Battle Suits, which give you new abilities and can be swapped to at any time. It also has slightly better art than 1 and 2. The polished version included in this pack overhauls the suits and makes them a lot more useful, while adding a stamina meter so you can't abuse them.
• The New Quincy's Adventure (2014) - There were a small handful of King Quincy games made by Super Freaks co-creator Kingnormal back in the day, but sadly they were mostly lost. This was an attempt to recreate Quincy's Adventure 1 (originally 2006) in 24 hours as a bet, though there's some new gameplay features that make it short but sweet.
• Super Freaks 2016 (2016) - Originally another attempt at the long awaited Super Freaks 4ever, this score attack demo was available at SAGE 2016. I don't consider it a full game, but what's there is pretty fun albeit rough.
