# Hurrican port for Switch

This is my Switch port of Hurrican, a freeware jump and shoot game created by Poke53280 that is based on the Turrican game series. Blast your way through nine action-packed levels filled with different enemies and powerups.

Everything needed to play is already included in the archive.

Port by @rsn8887.

# Thanks

Thanks to Poke53280 team for making such a great game, releasing the source, and making it freeware.

Thanks to the other developers such as DKS and Pickle for extending the Hurrican source and adding SDL/OpenGL-ES support and more.

Thanks to ScHlAuChi for telling me about this.

Thanks to devkitPro for making Switch homebrew possible.

Thanks to my supporters on Patreon: Andyways, CountDuckula, Jason Crawford, Greg Gibson, Jesse Harlin, Özgür Karter, Matthew Machnee, Milenko, and RadicalR.

# Installation

- Download (see `assets` below), and unzip `Hurrican_switch.zip` and copy the contents over to the `/switch/` folder on your sd card, so that you have a folder `/switch/Hurrican` with many folders and files inside.

# Controls

- Left analog stick = walk/duck/aim (hold up/down to look)
- Dpad = walk/duck/aim (hold up/down to look)
- Y = shoot
- B = jump
- X = hold for lightning beam (control angle with stick/dpad left/right)
- A = powerline
- R = grenade
- L = cycle weapon type
- ZR = smart bomb

# Current Limitations

- Don't try to remap buttons in the controls menu, it asks for a button press, but doesn't react to Joycon input. The only way out is to force quit the game with the home button. If you mess up preferences, just delete `/switch/Hurrican/hurrican.cfg`

- The tutorial level (if you select "Start Tutorial" instead of "Start New Game") currently crashes just after loading.

# Building

```
git clone https://github.com/rsn8887/hurrican
cd hurrican/Hurrican/src
make clean
make Hurrican_switch.zip -j12
```
the zip file is created in the Hurrican folder, not in src.

# Changelog

v1.00

- First release on Switch

I am quite sure he will port over crysis sooner or later with this pace.

Good job on this port! Need to try this.

Wow! Thanks for this game! I loved to play this on PC, and now on Switch! I'm a big Turrican fan!
Btw, any chance of porting AM2R to the Switch too? There is a port for Vita already.

I feel like I've seen this picture before. Was this a WiiWare game?

Hurrican (or the original Turrican) was never released natively for the Wii. I guess you've seen Super Turrican / Super Turrican 2 for Wii VC.

Need some help here. Game loads up, Intro plays, then while loading level 1 it freezes (ignored button reconfig and tutorial). Tried version 1.01. I am on latest ReiNX and I use a 256GB exFAT SD. Tried multiple times. Direct download via hb app store as well as manually copied to sd. Any ideas???

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I stream from Nas to firestick, one on every tv, and use Kodi. I'm happy w it, plays everything. (I pirate/torrent shows/movies on pc, and put on nas)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What the hell is Kodi reposts? what do you mean, or "Wut?" -xdqwerty

    Damn, only $2.06 and free shipping. Gotta cost more for them to ship than $2.06
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
