Side-scrolling Team Fortress 2 demake released

Eric Ruth, creator of 8bit-style demakes of the likes of Halo, Left4Dead and DJ Hero, has released Team Fortress Arcade, which reimagines Valve's FPS as a side-scrolling brawler with guns.
The game features the nine character classes from the original, is a free download from the source link below, and features local fourplayer co-op.
Ruth told Pikigeek: "One of my favourite genres of the bygone arcade era is the side-scrolling beat-em-up. So, naturally, I tried combining two things I love together and in the end came up with the concept that you can now play on your computer for free."
Asked whether Team Fortress Arcade would adhere even closer to Valve's original by adding hats, Ruth said: "I would have to draw hats directly on to sprites, which means that there would be a lot of room and a lot of extra programming just to add a functioning hat system that, ultimately, has no place in a side-scroller anyway."
