Unexpected to see fighting game! Nice!

Developer

Thank You!!

Beautiful game. Maybe too simplistic. After enemy is knocked down can just go for a win with simple attacks. Anyway amazaing game. Good job.

Developer

Thank You! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I wanted to keep it as simplistic as possible, but I definitely need to tweak the AI a little bit to avoid that kind of stuff and make it more entertaining. Thanks for the feedback!

Hard game, but with a great art! The dark character kept spamming attacks, right after I got up, preventing me from doing anything. I think that it would be good to have some tweaks on the difficulty.

Developer

Thank You! I will have to tweak the difficulty a lot, I want the dark character to be hard to defeat but not that cheap either. Thanks for the feedback!

This is really interesting. I think I see what you're trying to do, but I think it could use just a tad more polish though in the gameplay though, then it could really shine!

But I must ask, have you played Divekick?

Developer

Thank You! Yes, this definitely needs a lot of polishing to be closer to what I inteded it to be. Hope I eventually can make it shine!
I'm familiar with Divekick, indeed! It was also one of my sources of inspirantion for the idea of a "minimalistic but fun fighting game"

The art for this is amazing! It feels really old school while having all sorts of style and detail in it. I love that you managed to simplify the fighting game genre down to being a sort of rock-paper-scissors idea, the potential for mindgames is crazy and if you can get the 2-player to work that'd be amazing!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! Makes me really happy that you enjoyed the game so much. People playing tricks on each other was exactly what I wanted to see the most while developing this, so I definitely need to get the 2 player mode working properly soon!

Submitted(+1)

I think you succeeded in making a fun yet simple fighting game. I was amazed by the art style - despite only two colors it feels very detailed with a lot of depth. The shadow was very effective. I even had to let the AI win once just to see what happened.

Developer(+1)

Thank You!! I'm glad you had fun with it. The graphics was a big challenge to me because it's the first time I do pixel art in 1-bit, but I'm really happy with the results and really happy seeing others enjoyed it as well. I'm glad you enjoyed the shadow effect going on during the fight, hope it was as intimidating as I wanted it to be!!

Submitted(+1)

The shadow that sweeps across the screen based on how well the AI is doing is a nice touch. The pixel art an animations really very nice and fluid as well. It reminds me of an games on an arcade machine. I'm horrible at fighting games, so I appreciate the simplicity of the mechanics. Very good entry!

Developer

Thank you so much!! I'm glad you liked it and fun with it!

Submitted(+1)

Very nice little game! I especially liked the animations and your minimalist approach to controls. I wish there was more of it to play!

Developer

Thank You!! I'm glad you enjoyed the game!! I wanted to keep it as simple and minimalistic as possible and I'm glad people think I succeded at that. Seems I'll have to start thinking about how to make it longer!!

Submitted(+1)

Fighting game with very nice pixel graphics. Good theme implementation. I enjoyed playing although it is very easy to win if you just play attack (x).

Developer

Thank You so much! Glad you liked it!
Very good strategy to win, I will need to make the AI smarter against it!

Submitted(+1)

I like the art and the fighting game style. I think this has a good chance of winning

Developer(+1)

Thank you!! I'm glad you liked it!!
I don't know if this has any chance of winning at all, because I have played so many amazing and impressive games in this jam (including yours) but getting so many positive comments and reviews has already made my week!

A really charming pixel art with a funny concept. I wanted to play more!

Developer

Thank You!! I'm glad You liked it!! Seems I need to start thinking on more enemies then...

Submitted(+1)

Great concept & art, had a frustratingly fun time getting thrown down! Timing was a bit tricky to work out tho

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much!! I'm glad you had fun, even if it was a bit frustrating!!
I need to tweak and polish the difficulty and timing a little bit!

Submitted(+1)

This is beautiful, really fun game !

Developer

Thank you so much!! I'm glad you had fun!!

Really nice lil game! I'm a huge fighting game guy and this really reminds me of footsies and samurai shodown! Very nice job, super impressed! I can only imagine how good supers can potentially look... 

Edit to reiterate on how cool this is, it's really really cool.

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much!! I'm glad you enjoyed this game so much!! FOOTSIES was definitely a huge inspiration for this project. Lately I feel some fighting games end overcomplicating stuff a lot when sometimes is the simplicity what makes the game more challenging and fun to play.
I hadn't thought about supers, but now I'm also curious about it...
Again, thank You!! I'm glad you had fun playing.

Hello!

Such a fun little game, would love to see the move set expanded!

Developer

Thank you so much!! Glad you had fun with it!!
I'd love to expand the move set in way that doesn't break the simplicity of the game. One of my original ideas (that I didn't get to implement in time) was to have a counter to make the blocking mechanic way more interesting.

Spent a while trying to defeat the darkness. Felt pretty good when I finally won.

Developer

I'm glad you could defeat it! Hope you had fun with it!!

Submitted(+1)

I couldn't attack the enemy at all, maybe cause im not experienced. Nice game though :)

Developer

Thank You!! The AI can be a bit tricky sometimes, but since it's a very short game I didn't want it to be too easy to defeat, it takes some practice and timing to get it!

Submitted(+1)

Wow! Really nice art and fun gameplay, i wanna more :>!!
