Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Lugaru: The Rabbit's Foot is a shareware action game developed by David Rosen when he was in high school, becoming the launching game for Wolfire Games. The story follows a retired warrior rabbit named Turner, who, after finding his village destroyed by raiders and his family among the dead, swears to avenge his loved ones. Along the way, he finds a conspiracy that goes much farther than he expected.Lugaru is a little bit like Usagi Yojimbo (with some nods to Watership Down and Redwall) in computer game form… Although there isn't much to the storynote Or so it seems, what really makes this game shine is the combat. Unlike most other fighting games, it relies less on button mashing and much more on timing your moves right: the position and range of the enemy and the direction you're moving all influences what Turner will do with each attack, and all of the possible attacks are linked to a single button. The result is a remarkably fluid and responsive combat system, as this video demonstrates.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })It was originally made for the Mac, and has since been ported to Windows, Linux, and Amiga. On December 29th, 2008, a freelance graphic designer named Tim Soret updated Lugaru's graphical textures; the updated version of the game is currently sold as Lugaru HD. On May 11, 2010, Lugaru's source code was released under the GPL license, following the massive success of the “Humble Indie Bundle” charity drive. This opens the door to advanced modding capabilities and ports to new operating systems and portable devices. That being said, the game content is still closed, so you will have to register the game in order to play anything more than the Demo and downloadable mods.After the unexpected success of Lugaru, David Rosen announced a sequel, then called Lugaru 2. However, his college work took up too much of his time, leaving the game's future uncertain. After finishing college, he, his brother John, and three friends began working on the game full-time and announced it as Overgrowth.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

Shows Damage | |
| Lugaru (Video Game) / int_15aed120 | comment |
Shows Damage: Lugaru's damage effects, especially blood, are very well detailed. Notably, the developer avoided the common temptation to greatly exaggerate the amount of blood shown despite putting so much detail into it. If severely injured, enemies will breathe heavily and hold themselves. Impacts from bladed weapons cause blood sprays◊, and wounds are animated onto the bodies in the direction of the strike◊. Blood from open wounds actually flows in the direction of gravity◊ and pools under dead bodies◊. A hard punch to the face will break the nose and cause a noticeable trickle. Bladed weapons drip for a few seconds after use, and each drip can stain the terrain. Enemies who are merely unconscious will visibly breathe. Dead enemies don't breathe, and they have open mouths. | |

| Lugaru (Video Game) / int_1a303edf | comment |
Our Orcs Are Different: For all intents and purposes, the Wolves are orcs, combining some elements of both "traditional" and "revisionist" versions of the trope. They are quite big, immensely strong, are technologically primitive, exclusively carnivorous, and are all hostile on sight. Ash reveals that they are actually quite intelligent creatures who are only primitive on purpose, seeing weapons and armor as cowardly and preferring to train The Spartan Way. | |

Multiple Endings | |
| Lugaru (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: Three possible endings were planned based on whether or not the player killed or merely KO'd their enemies, but they are not accessible in the final game. Their information is still in the game's code, but the player is always railroaded to the Neutral ending, which as of Overgrowth happens to be canon. In the Golden Ending, Turner becomes a wise and respectable king after replacing Hickory, though he doesn't have a total lack of detractors. In the Neutral Ending, Turner decides that he isn't fit to be a king and decides to wander the island to find new purpose. In the Downer Ending, Turner becomes a caring but bitter and ruthless king who ruthlessly kills any and all of his detractors. | |

Ambient: With the exception of the battle music, Lugaru's soundtrack is entirely made of ambient background music, making a beautiful, yet haunting and foreboding atmosphere. It has been compared to David Julyan's score for the 2000 film, Memento. The tracks are freeware: three of them were composed by Justin R. Durban of http://www.edgen.com, and one was composed by a person named Rudy Vessup. Main Theme Grass Levels Desert Levels Snow Levels | |

Beast Man | |
| Lugaru (Video Game) / int_2ab73660 | comment |
Beast Man: Despite clearly being animal species, the creatures of Lugaru are not stand-ins for humans, though they are easily intelligent enough to behave in a very humanlike fashion. All of them can run on all fours, or in a bipedal stance at will. While Rabbits live in a loose monarchy, wear clothes, and use Iron Age technology including tools, primitive armor and weaponry, Wolves, in order to toughen their bodies, use no technology and wear no clothes under any conditions. In battle, they rely entirely on their own physical prowess instead of weapons, though they will use a weapon they somehow acquire through a reversal. Also, Wolves still eat Rabbits. | |

Awesome, but Impractical: the Leg Cannon. It requires a long run-up, therefore it can be seen from a mile away and easily countered. However, it's also very damaging if it connects. The Bo Staff kicks major ass when used on enemies (can kill a rabbit in 1-2 hits, 3-5 on Wolves), but breaks after 3 or 4 hits (excluding hitting ragdolls). Use it wisely. | |

After the End: Though it's never explicitly stated in-game, it is very clear that the events of Lugaru are set after the fall of Humankind. The stone pillar in the starting village is referred to as "lookout ruins", and if you walk around the Old Camp in debug mode, you'll see the ruins of modern-looking concrete buildings. The ruins of other man-made structures are strongly integrated into the level design. The various◊ concept◊ artworks◊ reveal the structures to be made of concrete and rebar. According to this development video the structures grow over time like "crystal or a coral reef". Considering that, and the the filename of this related concept art◊, "nanoarch", the ruins may be under constant reconstruction by some sort of nanomachines. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Turner manages to successfully avenge his family and save the rabbits of Lugaru from being farmed for food. That said, he may or may not have gone too far in doing it. In addition, his family and friends are all dead and his former home is a graveyard, so his life as it was is over. It's not very hard to see why Turner decided to roam the island to find a new purpose in life instead of taking the crown he was offered... what would be the point? (Though that choice could easily create problems of it's own) | |

"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot | |
| Lugaru (Video Game) / int_44989f6f | comment |
"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: King Hickory, ruler of the rabbits has a problem: wolves have come to his island to enslave his people for food. Despite being a trained fighter himself, and having men under his command, Hickory is too scared to fight the wolves. Instead of using the local famed war hero in his kingdom to kill off the wolves and secure the island, he decides to kill the war hero's family in a gambit to make it easier for the wolves to take over his kingdom unopposed, to save his own ass. If only he'd stopped to think about the consequences, his kingdom would be safe, and he would not be dead. | |

Sword Fight | |
| Lugaru (Video Game) / int_5d310fb8 | comment |
Sword Fight: Given the Low Fantasy trappings, this trope was bound to show up. That said, any notion of Hollywood "swordplay" is averted with extreme prejudice. Your opponents will not aim to miss, bother with trying to push against you, or make highly telegraphed swings with their swords: they will simply cut you to ribbons as fast as they can. Any individual cut is very likely to kill you immediately. Even if you're somehow standing after the first hit, you're likely to bleed out anyway. As this video demonstrates. | |

Stealth-Based Mission: Although the game doesn't make it obvious — see Guide Dang It! above — stealth is a vital part of how you play through the game. Ironically, it's most useful if you're trying to Speed Run the challenge levels; taking out an opponent with a sneaky One-Hit Kill is often much quicker than straight-up combat. | |

Only two enemies in the game are referred to by generic terms instead of their names - Wanderer and Raider. All other enemies are given names and personalities unless they never happen to speak, and their dialogue isn't necessarily plot important. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| Lugaru (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: Stealth is an important aspect of the game, but the tutorial tells you nothing except that crouch-walking is stealthy and that you can perform instant-kill attacks from behind enemies. It doesn't tell you, for example, that the forward roll is considered "stealthy," allowing you to sneak up on enemies extremely rapidly; one of the most common complaints about the game is that sneaking is too slow. Nor does it tell you that certain enemies (read: wolves) can detect you by smell, requiring you to stay downwind from them as you approach (subtle environmental cues will show you which direction the wind is blowing). Nor does it tell you that these enemies can detect blood, or that you can clean blood off your weapons by stabbing the ground. | |

Life Meter | |
| Lugaru (Video Game) / int_84e189a8 | comment |
Life Meter: There's a complicated one, but in a strangely minimalist twist, it's invisible. When you've taken a lot of blunt force trauma, your character starts acting exhausted, the camera becomes wobbly and dark, and if you're seriously hurt you'll develop double-vision (provided blur effects are enabled). Fortunately, you regenerate this sort of damage over time. Damage you take from edged weapons, on the other hand, leaves visible wounds (if you've got blood enabled) and decreases your maximum health, which isn't restored until the next level. | |

Player-Exclusive Mechanic: While the AI technically has all the same moves as Turner, they are quite mercifully programmed to not use all of them. As a result, the player has exclusive access to several moves: Only Turner can perform the Leg Cannon move. Apparently, only Turner can throw his knife at all. Or maybe, he's just that good. The Animal Run can only be performed by Turner and the wolves. | |

Hit Stop: Any direct player-to-enemy contact that KO's or kills an enemy outright temporarily slows down time. Environmental KO's - such as kicking an enemy headfirst into a rock or off a cliff - do not. This effect can be used to get a better bearing on your surroundings. | |

Mook Chivalry: Averted with extreme prejudice. With the notable exception of wolves, enemies in Lugaru have no qualms about running away and calling their friends to help deal with you, and even wolves will not go out of their way to fight you one-on-one. Also, in the challenge levels, which have no plot, and thus no race or faction affiliations, losing rabbits prefer to call nearby wolves to assist with fighting you instead of another rabbit. | |

Cool Sword: Only one sword is available, late into the campaign - it's quite ornate, and it belongs to the rabbit king. While it is easily countered, it is by far the most powerful weapon in the game when properly used - it can kill a wolf in just two hits, effectively turning them from horrifically difficult foes into a cakewalk.note comparatively speaking. It is also unbreakable. | |

Pragmatic Hero: Turner. His only goal note at first is exacting revenge on the raiders for the deaths of his loved ones, but as seen with the raiders' second base, he refuses to kill anyone who doesn't attack him, even if that person is a raider. Once he is aware of the wolf threat and effectively King of the land, Turner proves that he's willing to put his life on the line for the greater good by ordering his men to guard the Rocky Hall while he deals with the wolves himself. He later gives a speech to Hickory, the former King explaining why he was able to defeat the wolves, including a direct jab at his cowardice. | |

Moral Event Horizon: The raiders have several blatant examples of puppy kicking in a row. First, they destroy Turner's home and kill everyone there, including his daughter. Afterwards, one of them can be heard idly bragging to a friend about violating Turner's wife, going so far as saying he wishes Turner was there so he could see the look on his face. He doesn't last long. In addition, King Hickory is selling his own kind for food because he's too scared to fight against the wolves. | |

Generally, the player is both outnumbered and only lightly armed, so after killing over a dozen armed and/or armored raiders with only a knife, one unarmed raider doesn't seem all that hard. | |

Natural Weapon: Wolves fight with claws (and occasionally teeth at Insane difficulty).

The Sneaky Guy: It's never explicitly stated, but it's implied, since Turner fits most of the trope's description. In any case, playing this way is necessary to win the game. | |

Lightning Bruiser: Wolves on Insane difficulty can run on all fours at a much greater speed than they can move on two legs. This renders them largely inescapable once they notice you. | |

The Coup | |
| Lugaru (Video Game) / int_e27693 | comment |
The Coup: Once Turner reveals that King Hickory has been selling his people to the wolves out of cowardice, he immediately loses the respect of his his own guards. They force him to step down and start following Turner's commands, effectively making him King. After the wolves are defeated, the guards offer to make his kingship official since no one could challenge him, but he doesn't take the position and decides to wander instead. There are unused assets in the game's files revealing that the player was originally given a choice in the matter. | |

Art Evolution | |
| Lugaru (Video Game) / int_e43c66bd | comment |
Art Evolution: A very minor example occurred between the original game and the graphical update. While the new in-game textures were deliberately chosen to be similar to the originals while still having a higher resolution, the title screen was substantially changed. The original game's title screen features the word "Lugaru" written in blood, while the update features the title in capital letters and changes the blood to an orange Garamond font. The rabbit eye picture in the background was also replaced. Original Title Screen◊ Rerelease Title Screen◊ | |

Never Bring a Knife to a Fist Fight | |
| Lugaru (Video Game) / int_e54f93d5 | comment |
Never Bring a Knife to a Fist Fight: Weapons are powerful and add range to your attacks, but they can be easy to counter and tend to reduce your combat options. Sometimes it's best to rely on Good Old Fisticuffs. Unless the weapon in question is a sword. | |

Only a Flesh Wound: If there's any doubt that Lugaru takes place in a World of Badass, look no farther than the rabbit who, upon getting speared in the sternum with a thrown knife, yanks the knife out of his chest wound and stabs you with it. | |

| Lugaru (Video Game) / int_e8e0a952 | comment |
Obvious Beta: Lugaru has a very fluid and unique combat system, and is a complete game. That said, it definitely shows it's humble origins as a high-school project: its level designs are remarkably simple, its campaign mode is short and has some unused content in the files, showing that Multiple Endings were removed from the final game. | |

Emergency Weapon | |
| Lugaru (Video Game) / int_ef42ca88 | comment |
Emergency Weapon: Knives are the most common weapon in the game by far, and can be used in the most situations. They can deal non-healable damage in melee combat, and can even cause someone to bleed out, which can be annoying in long levels. They can be used as throwing weapons for an instant killnote usually against unarmored rabbits - wolves will only find this tactic slightly annoying, assuming of course that you actually hit them at all. Thankfully, enemies never throw their knives at you. Knives also have not one, but three attacks that are instantly lethal against any enemy in the game: attacking an enemy from behind cuts the enemy's throat, attacking a fallen enemy while crouching plunges the knife into their chest, and if you see any fallen enemy that has a knife lodged in them, you can somersault over them and rip it out. | |

Why aren't they attacking?: The raiders in the Old Camp will not fight you, since you've already killed most of their gang (including the boss) and they know they stand no chance. | |

Video Game Cruelty Potential | |
| Lugaru (Video Game) / int_f87c42d4 | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Potential: You can leap off of a ledge onto an opposing rabbit and knock him down. Then you can steal his staff, and beat the crap out of your enemy while he's down, until he dies. Or until your staff breaks. Or both. Not to mention that you can stab a person to death while they're knocked down by crouching and attacking while holding a knife/sword. And indeed, you're encouraged to do that. The timing is very difficult, however. You can throw a knife at someone, then knock them down, roll over them, and rip the knife out of them for extra damage and get your knife back. This is extremely useful against wolves, who otherwise mostly ignore your knife attacks. If there is a campfire, you can burn your enemies. You can even set yourself on fire and torch your enemies. Extinguishing oneself is easy, though. | |
