Anger Foot for Mac

A free FPS game about kicking doors

Anger Foot is a fast-paced action video game about kicking down doors and fighting enemies. Centering around quick reaction time and resourceful thinking, Anger Foot is simple to pick up and harder to master, akin to games like Katana Zero or Hotline Miami. Free to play, it’s a fast, frenetic sweep through tight confines and corridors.

Robbie Fraser, Luc Wolthers, and Jason Sutherland developed Anger Foot for the 2020 7dfps game jam. The result was a 3D single-player indie game for Windows: An addicting sprint through small waves of animal-themed enemies. These small encounters are separated by doors that players can kick open to send flying into opponents. The free game runs well on Windows and Linux and has no DRM.

Foot-stomping fun

The gameplay of Anger Foot has you playing in the first-person perspective. You start off by kicking down a door into an apartment building—and defeating a goon behind it in the process. With your foot, you simply have to kick down the enemies coming after you until you reach the stairs, which ends the level. Level 2 then grants you a handgun that lets you deal with enemies far away from you.

You can easily grasp the controls with the quick in-game tutorial. The E key is for kicking while the left mouse button is for shooting. Your ammo is always limited so to get one last hit in, click your right mouse button to throw the gun at an enemy. You will only encounter two types of goons: those melee ones with spiked bats and those ranged fighters wielding guns. 

The goal is to just reach the staircase as fast as you can. You don’t even need to kill all enemies in the level to pass—however, this will increase your overall score. The maps of each level have several rooms that are either dead ends or new rooms leading closer to the stairs. It can pretty hard to locate them since each level becomes maze-like. There are only 5 levels, though.

Technical aspects and tone of the game

Everything in Anger Foot feels over-the-top. The fight sequences are rapid, with enemies flying off the screen when they get kicked, explosions going off, and a constant stream of fast-paced carnage. There’s also a great deal of humor injected into the game, with exaggerated enemy designs, silly scenarios, and comically excessive destruction. It’s clear the game is meant to be a fun, high-energy romp rather than a serious tactical shooter. 

From a technical standpoint, the game has a distinct art style that’s both gritty and vibrant. It doesn’t aim for realism but rather a colorful, comic-style design that complements its chaotic nature. Furthermore, the music and sound effects complement the breakneck pace of the action, adding to the immersive factor of the game. It keeps your adrenaline pumping and syncs with the havoc you wreak.

With your foot and your gun

Overall, Anger Foot is a fast-paced FPS game that’s great for anyone who loves this kind of rhythm in their gameplay. It’s pretty short and can be finished in just a few minutes since there’s no actual reward or achievement in clearing levels perfectly. However, it can be addicting enough for people who like beating their own high scores. Too bad it doesn’t have configurable graphics settings for better performance, though.
