fav mask defo

ugugug police station level is kinda hard. but i chose the monkey mask which wasnt very smart. It'd be really easy with the unicorn mask I think. I got pretty far, but something dumb would always happen. It sucks when you shoot a group of people and think they're all dead but one gets up and shoots you.
edit- I got past the fat dudes part, but got stuck on the next one (likely the last part). Probably easy with the unicorn mask since you have to use guns for sure.

is there a way to remap the lock-on button?
Damn!
Completed it once and I am going through a second time to get the collectibles. Still a lot of fun but I have run into some bugs. A dog walked through a wall and then exited the level, stopping me from finishing, then I got stuck on the stairs on a later level. Also a few freezes here and there. Never ran into any problems like this on my first playthrough.
Win 8 problems? Please tell me more.
I can't seem to find a way to remap it in the controls settings. I wanted to remap it as the lock on stopped working for me after the tutorial.

Guys, what is the Rip and Steal mask meant to do?

Update sounds good. I'm just hoping that my already completed main story will unlock the bonus stuff.

New level is meh.
Yeah, unless there's something hidden, there doesn't seem to be much to it.
According to the HM Twitter account the map was made by http://fantasticfest.com/arcade, which may explain the lack of quality. Also confirms that there's "no story or scoring, it's just for murder!"

Still crashes randomly for me, almost completed level 10. 
I'm starting to regret buying this despite how good it is when it works.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
New map is okay, just a single floor, finished in a minute, but I'm looking forward to a new campaign with its own story and scoring.
Also using the Phil mask those guys just repeat Je suis whatever something something Fantastic Arcade, lol.
Might have been an okay level if intersected with the campaign, with the girl being your gf.

Um, why is that great? It's clearly a glitch.
Because it feels like I'm tripping, maaaaan! You're asking that like I'm not aware of it being a glitch in the haystack of glitches.

I just finished the "final" map and got the credits, but now I am on a new set of maps which is pretty cool after that ending I need some answers lol. Love the game, but an options menu would be nice for remapping keys. The only glitches I have had with the game so far is random crashing and stuff. Excited to play the new map!
Excecuting the cops with a drill turns them into russian gangsters.

"yeah, windows 8 isn't friends with gamemaker 7 that we used to develope the game... not much we can do... gonna try to port it to newer version of gamemaker!"
So that's that. At least I can stop trying.

Press A/D (or whatever you set as WASD) for left/right in that sub menu, not the arrow keys. It's a bit wonky like that in some other menus as well. Gamepad support works fine but the game's infinitely more playable with the mouse imo.
Yeah one of the guys said they made a mistake on that menu they are updating it again soon.
The collectibles talked about are the puzzle pieces. By collecting all of them, you can see the "true" ending. There's one in each of the first fifteen or so chapters. In the chapter select screen, it shows if you've collected the mask and/or puzzle piece for that level (they're the tiny icons).
You'll have to use the owl mask to see the puzzle pieces. They're not very well hidden, but they are kind of hard to see since they're tiny purple tiles. There are youtube guides if you ever can't find one.

Got this game thanks to this thread. And oh man, just the soundtrack is worth the price of admission. Awesome 80s flair. The game itself is also really cool. But I could be too slow for this kind of game. I die a lot, even in the earlier stages.
Nope. The owl mask makes them hover and glow a little bit, making them easier to spot, but you can collect them at any time regardless of which mask you're wearing.

Just beat it.
The level I was having trouble with earlier was really easy with the unicorn mask.
The final boss glitched on me when I played last night.
Spoiler'd just in case.
It might be just me but I hardly used any of the unlocked weapons. It was always a bat, metal rod, and three guns. They didn't seem to spawn much. I didn't find any of the secrets (except the snake mask, but that was pretty obvious) or use many of the masks either. Going to go over some of it in a few weeks or so. Although I played the first couple of missions of it a few times and didn't notice any secrets. =(

The woman wouldn't do anything for a while so she was an easy kill. It put me in terrible position to beat the last part though. It worked properly today, and it was pretty easy to beat honestly.
The epilogue was okay. I made the connection to the two janitors being the developers and it all being a game when I met the guy in the little room in the Chinese restaurant. He looked like a programmer to me for some reason, and the computer. I don't recall many prior references to a "game", but I might be forgetting them.

The same thing happened to me on the Assault stage with
the police officers
Just finished the game. On the last boss and moving into the epilogue:
Last boss was boring compared to all the tripping balls lead up where you go to the VHS shop, pizza place, cocktail bar and find everyone dead, and the game getting really meta. I see that the epilogue goes more into the meta territory which I'm happy about. I'm looking forward to getting through the rest of it. It's been a very enjoyable game and easily the best £6.99 I've spent in ages.
Edit: Also the Nicolas Winding Refn inclusion in the special thanks satisfies me that this is basically the unauthorized Drive: The Game, which I'm fucking stoked about. I'm hoping there's more of this style of game. And I'd love to see it get the official Salis/Drive stamp at some point. Hopefully Drive 2 gets a sequel based on the Salis book and we get a Hotline Miami 2.

Game refuses to track/unlock achievements for me since the update. >_>
Level editor/Randomised Levels/Endless Mode would all be cool.
You could check.
It's basically one big room with a couple of toilet stalls.

There are masks to collect (most awarded for highscore, some found in the levels themselves) and secret puzzle pieces to get an alternate ending, one hidden in each chapter. I think they're easy to find once you know what you're looking for and making a conscious effort of it. Wearing Rasmus also helps to make them stand out visually, at least a bit.
Here's the location for the first one in Prelude to get you started:
to the left of the starting door, near the train tracks towards the bottom. White pixel within some purple pixels.
edit: alternatively, there are Youtube videos showing each location as well (but that's boring)

why would you ever need a mask other than the horse?
Just beaten this and I'm trying to find all the puzzle letters. The key-arranging seems to be bugged as all hell, they seem to set themselves randomly, even if I try them in every single spot...
Also,
Also,
I really liked you could just kill mask guy, that was pretty crazy. The two guys at the end I presume are the two devs, right?
