Handy Harvy is a homebrew arcade action game that was developed and published by Second Dimension in April 2018. It is the sequel to the developer's titular NES game, Get'em Gary. The game features high quality graphics and animations, in game cut scenes, 2 player co-op play and achievements.[1]
Story
Westspring Manor is under attack!
Rusty has kidnapped Leah, Harvy's girlfriend to the top of the buildings of Westspring Manor! It's up to you to save Leah and fix the damage caused by Rusty before time runs out.
Dodge your way through kettle bells, bombs, and kites while repairing the damaged windows with your extra strength mystical duct tape as you climb your way to the top of each building.
Do you have what it takes to save Westspring Manor?
Gary, who is Harvy's boss (and Leah's father), is also playable in 2 player co-op mode!
Gameplay
Handy Harvy is an arcade action game that draws inspiration from titles such as Fix-It-Felix Jr, Donkey Kong and Wrecking Crew, but takes the action all the way to the next level.
The gameplay is simple; climb your way up the building while repairing damaged windows and dodging the kettle bells and bombs thrown down at you. You must reach the rooftop before time runs out to proceed to the next stage. As you progress further and further, you'll have to start avoiding kites as well.
To help you out during the game, a beer will randomly appear. If you drink it, you'll get double score when fixing windows, you'll move faster, AND you're temporarily invincible! You can also hang off of the balconies to avoid bomb explosions or kites.
