Codename: Gordon is a flash animated side-scrolling game developed by Paul Kamma (X-Tender) and Sönke Seidel (Warbeast) from Nuclear Vision . It was offered through Valve's Steam platform . The game was released as an advertisement of sorts prior to the official release of Half-Life 2 , and was accessible for free to anyone with a valid Steam account.
Codename: Gordon is an alternate take on the plot of Half-Life 2 . The player controls Gordon Freeman in and around City 17, fights so-called combine units, alien-like headcrabs, and other opponents while meeting allies like Alyx Vance and Eli Vance. Codename: Gordon differs from the well-known Half-Life 2 because it is only two-dimensional. The player uses the keyboard to move the character left and right and to make them jump. You can aim the mouse by 270 °, whereby the area directly under the character cannot be aimed at.
In contrast to the three-dimensional half-life, the player is able to communicate with the allies. The allies speak in complete sentences ( Codename: Gordon has no voice), Gordon unlike "answers" by using of IM typical emoticons such. B. ;-( and ^ _ ^ .
The game can still be downloaded for free from Steam because it is part of Package 0 and is therefore automatically owned by every account steam://install/92.
