About the Game

Lawyer Guy is a tough-as-nails action platformer game inspired by Mega Man. 

Master six tricky and intricate levels and bosses (...with more on the way!)

An audacious crazed mashup of oldschool NES action and modern precision platforming!

Difficulty options for platformer fans and platformer sickos, accessibility settings, speedrun options and more!

Other Features

  • The motion captured performance of Tom Hanks

  • Evil speedrun/perfect run challenges

  • Probably the only video game about a lawyer ever made.

  • A licensed demoscene/tracker music soundtrack from some of the genre's most eminent musicians

  • Not a roguelike, no darkness, no souls. Possibly comfy, depending on your definition of comfy.

  • Doesn't cost any money

Testimonials

"This game is too difficult" -my friends

"How's that Lawyer Man game coming along?" -my family

"Lawyer Guy should have a katana made from nippon steel folded over 4000 times" -internet anime reviewer

Free, to keep, forever, no strings attached.

This game is a weird passion project and I don't want to make it my job, so I've made it free. There might be a sort of optional donation at some point in the future but the game being free and being for fun is very important to me.

Lawyer Guy needs YOU!
