About

Abuse is a dark 2D side-scrolling platform game developed by Crack dot Com in 1995. It features beautiful lighting, realistic animation and nasty alien-like creatures to destroy.

This is the new home to Abuse and Abuse-SDL. I took over maintenance of that game to prevent it from vanishing from the Internet.

Since Abuse's public domain release in 1997, the following improvements were made:

• video output uses the SDL library, with optional OpenGL rendering
• 64-bit platforms support
• lots of crashes, memory leaks and general bugs fixed

Development

Development takes place in a Subversion repository. You can browse it online or check it out using svn:

 svn co svn://svn.zoy.org/abuse/abuse/trunk abuse-trunk

You can report new bugs or browse current bugs. See also the development notes?.

Unfortunately, most Abuse resources are now dead. Here are a few worthwile links and archived pages that really deserve to be salvaged:

• ​Cypress's Abuse page, with lots of downloads including Satan Paint and additional Abuse levels
• ​abuse2.com archived page, again with lots of downloads
• ​fRaBs archived page
