Unfinished: Action Henk 07/08/2014

Thanks O-Striker

I think I prefer Cowboy Henk.

The Levelord Lives!

I'm with Brad, after seeing one level this looks pretty damn rad.

Not a buy now, but this looks super fun - they nail the flow and speed.

Cool game!

Looks good!

Love the karate chop lever on Henks back. Nice detail.

Despite showing little interest in the Trials games, I think this all looks really fun, no doubt thanks to its loveable aesthetic and faster pacing.

This is why I'm so happy Dan's on the team now. The GB guys have gotten progressively jaded over the years, and I think they needed someone with Dan's enthusiasm for dumb shit to balance that out.

Wow I have never heard of this game before and it looks awesome reminds me of those speed run levels in rayman legends

Dan seems like the Anti-Brad. Very few QL decimating stuff ups.

So imagine a game like this, but you're sentient unicycles racing on striped lines in some sort of infinite void world and if you try to name your unicycle "sonic" it says "not cool enough." Man, it would be great if something like that existed on modern platforms with 3d graphics and a kicking soundtrack.

But regardless this game looks super promising. Sort like Trials meets Speedrunners.

Seems like they made a Sonic game better than Sega has for years and years.

I love giant furniture and toy characters to bits. Also a proponent of grappling hooks.

This game was made for me!

Drr... Drr... Drr...

I'm glad they did a Quick Look of this game. Just by looking at it and hearing the name, and it's Early Access tag, I would've had low expectation or dismissed it. Now I'll probably get it when it's finished/further along.

One level in and I'm already on board. Seems like a great game for the iPhone.

Good Job Dan, and Brad. I think the new additions are fitting in!

I'd say that a more accurate description of the game is that it's the movement mechanics of Doritos Crash Course with levels that are more Trials in nature.

I'm pretty cool with that, because I always felt like Doritos Crash Course was at its least fun when dealing with some of the stupid Wpieout ripoff obstacles. I'll probably pick this up at some point.

This game looks like a lot of fun. Hope it comes to PS4.

Ninja roping reminds me of Worms Armageddon/WWP.

It's kinda amazing how quickly Dan has fit in and has been immediately accepted as a part of GB. Jeff definitely made a great choice. Keep up the great work Dan.

I'm digging Dan. I love that I see a bunch of games I never heard of on the schedule for quick looks now too. Also, I love a good grappling hook. I'm on board with this.

Thunderbird 2 at 8:03? This seems awesome.

Some things in this room are homages, but that was a straight up Thunderbird hanging from the ceiling.

ACTION FRANNNNNK

There is some Worms level of Ninja Roping going on here, I'm digging it.

Liking Dan. Good job!

I never thought I'd hear the GB squad talk about Toy Commander.

This looks neat, going on my wish list. Seems fairly polished for an early access game too, so hopefully it won't be too long until it's done.

Wow, this looks like fun. The butt slides and hookshot stuff seem super satisfying.

de_rats anyone?

I liked this better when I thought it was Action Hunk (-adunk).

When they said Action Henk on the podcast I thought they said Action Hank. My mind immediately started to contemplate what would a game starring Action Hank from Dexter's Laboratory would be.

Was disappointed when it wasn't this guy

I think this game has a ton of potential, I hope to see more of this in 2014!

15 minute Quick Looks? @danryckert, you seem to have confused Giant Bomb with your old place of employment.

Game looks great. QL was great. Just have to harass the new guy.

Thanks Jason. Also thanks Dan for finding this!

This looks fantastic. Will definitely pick this up once it's more complete.

Dan is also fantastic in this, never seen his stuff prior to Giant Bomb but he's already doing fantastically.

This looks really neat. I loved Trials and something that gives off that same vibe is worth checking out.

I can just imagine Dan leaning to the left and right when cornering in racing games

Did not scroll far enough down on that store page, he jsut clicke the generic Early Acess info thing..

I've been wondering what the hell this game was.

My dad's name is Henk......

Ditto. A game about Action Hank would be amazing!

Looks really fun I'll consider picKing it up thanks for sharing dan

Just want to say that Dan seems like a good addition to GB. Like what he's bringing. Cheerio.
