I love how goofy the fights are, especially the busted projectiles that stun-lock the characters or cause an “okizeme” chain. I could only imagine the insanity if this had two-player 1v1 matches, but for what it is, it was fun seeing how each character fought against one another.

How does your game represent "Power"?
The game's mechanics were primarily inspired by "power scaling," that thing anime fans do where they compare two characters as they grow stronger.
This game features fighters that get more powerful after each round with various enhancements and upgrades. As in any fighting tournament worth its salt, the strongest warrior wins. The unchecked power of the sports betting industry to corrupt young minds is also represented in this game, albeit indirectly. You understand.

I was in a discord call with some friends and we were all invested in watching Elvis take on the Viscious Squash. Everything from the goofy characters to the meaty SFX is just spot on! Just when you think one side is going to win, the opponent pulls off the craziest combo of a lifetime. Loved every moment of it! Also RIP dog I didn't mean to blow you up :(

Turbo TurtleCool art - but didn't sit through more than 2 rounds because you don't do anything lol.

ZubenelgenubiThe Salty Bets of the jam! The progression is quite cool, although some fights dragged a bit too long

Dear, Can You Open the Pickle Jar?I'm glad someone recognized some of our inspiration! During the jam, I took a few looks at old MUGEN clips for inspiration. Unfortunately we didn't have quite enough time to tune the AI enough to get rid of that dragging. The general dopeyness of the AI is intentional, but seems to have been slightly too effective (especially with Pizza Joe). I've done a little work to improve it, including changes to Nukebot, but obviously we can't push them because of the jam. Thanks for playing!
Holy Pizza Tower this looks amazing, and is animated so well. Some of the fights went on a little too long (that goddam fridge!) but overall it was fun watching them fight. -$70k and still felt fun!

Bet $10,000 on Caveman
Caveman nearly infinites Albert Einstein with The Wheel
10/10 no notes

POWERCHORDIn this game, Einstein discovered that L = Vicious Squash squared up. I went all-in on the Vicious Squash in the final round and as always, he squashed the competition. I would bet my kidney for the Vicious Squash.
Amazing idea and the art is soooo good! I loved the voice acting, too. This game is just oozing with character. Outstanding work!

Power JumpSuch a fantastic little game! I'm a little sad I can only watch instead of play each fight. But from a programming perspective this is certainly more impressive. I am bad at betting lol

Climbin' CliffThis game is so underrated! So charming in every way! You all did such an amazing job!

Over Powered*Final round time*
One side, we have Caveman, who won 2 matches.
The other side, we have the Vicious Squash, and its goonies, that only won one match.
The stats say the Caveman has a higher probability than the Squash.
So I bet on the Caveman.
The Match begins
The Vicious Squash quickly turns the caveman into a ping-pong ball.
The Caveman bounces back and forth off the wall and the Squash's fists for the entire match.
And then the Caveman becomes Primordial Soup.
I bork the dog till it pops.
10/10, would lose a bet again!

PoWertigoThe game is polished and hilarious! I love all the voice lines and animations, and each character really pops. It reminded me of Cube World from when I was a kid. It was a series of little cubes with screens that could stick together magnetically, and the people living in each cube would go about their lives interacting with people from other connected cubes. Similar vibe of spending more time watching the simulation than perturbing it yourself!

Factory OI wanted nothing more than to have SOMETHING to control while the fight was going on. Even if it wasn’t a player, having a little impact through shouting at the tv would have been hilarious. I ended with 19k after betting it all on Eisteign only to get zero-to-deathed by the caveman in the 3rd round. I expect vicious gang to be nerfed in the next patch

Speed The Movie: The GameThe art style and voice lines are fucking fantastic, it's just a let down that most of the game consists of watching the game instead of actually playing it. I'd love to engage more with a game that looks like this but I just got bored unfortunately.

John's Electric (John is Electric)I really love the pizza tower artstyle and sound design :))) I think that the guys should have a little less health just so battles go faster but really entertaining :)
