Ranked from 74 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does your game represent "Power"?
The player has a single power bar which they need to charge up while avoiding enemies. Once your power bar is full, you can punch enemies sky high. More power = bigger punches, but your power bar is also your health bar, and charging reduces your movement speed.

Avoiding enemies gets trickier as the waves keep coming, so it's risk = reward to keep the fight going!

Really well designed arcade game! Absolutely love the presentation, including the sounds and with the music changing depending on the gameplay aswell. My only complaint is the games pacing (mainly charging up) being a little slow but it wasn't bothering me that much

Really cool game! Very much enjoyed it

Developer

Thanks for playing and for the kind feedback :) 

I wanted the bigger power bar to have a risk associated with it, i.e. taking longer to charge and therefore having to avoid enemies for longer.

Maybe a 'fast charge' powerup might be a cool addition in future to impove the pacing a little.

simple but effective! i loved the sfx and animations and the gameplay loop created some fun tension around dodging while trying to keep my bar charge. as someone who loves going melee/unarmed builds in their RPGs, i will always rate punch games highly

Is that getting hurt sound effect a dunkey sample?
Those are some really cool effects, punching the enemies feels super satisfying. Great stuff!

Developer(+1)

It certainly is! I'm glad someone noticed :)  Thanks for playing!

Wow, I'm loving everything about this. Tough but fair risk/reward gameplay, frantic music and sfx, great character and enemy design, and incredible gamefeel. Genuinely wondering if this would be bigger arcade hit than pac man if it came out in the 80s. Really nice job, saving this for later!!

Developer

Wow thanks!  I definitely got pacman vibes when putting this together :)

I loved beating up the enemies - that game is oozing with personality. I just wish there were more levels, maybe some obstacles or something - you got me asking for more ! Would definetly play this game for hours if fully fledged out. Good stuff !

Rock solid! very tight well executed mechanics. I could easily get stuck here for hours playing this game. Its like Pac man if he was Goku. Good game

Developer

Thank you for playing!  I can totally see what you mean about the Pacman/Goku crossover! :D

Wow this is good. so much fun, unique mechanic too, will play this again for sure.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHH

Developer

Not bad! :D

Super fun and full of style! Also very tightly designed from a gameplay perspective; less is more here, although it could be interesting to see how the game changes if you allowed the player to spend a portion of their charge to dash out of the way!

Developer

Thanks for the suggestion, that's not a bad idea!  Stamina/power/health all in one could be very interesting!

Nice! Super juicy and fun arcade game :)
