cool. felt kind of like a hommage to the old school streets of rage games. personally i think the game would have flowed a bit better with the enemies having less hp but being more aggressive. the art and sprites are really nice, as is the text and menu. a well done beat em up.

How does your game fit the theme?
The game has 3 endings that require certain conditions. The "second" ending requires the player to beat the 'final' boss in order to follow her and escape the simulation.
The "first" ending is another that the player achieve by simply continuing on with the story and the third requires 8 Keys to unlock a gate (which is actually a secret ending).
This fits the theme of "An End is a New Beginning" because the player is required to play smart and every time they die a they get a chance to get to the secret ending. So every single player will have a different ending no matter how good or bad.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I did not create the sprites and some of the music for this game. I created the story, UI, and of course code for it.

Thanks, I actually started two days after the Jam launched, and I put a LOT of work into this, like "All Nighters" kinna work. I'm working on a prequal with all the feedbacks I've gotten from everyone so far, and it will be available to play after the Jam.
Thanks for the feedback, these really help, and I've decided to make it possible to configure the controls in later updates so players can choose which key/mouse button they prefer for action(s). Also I loved your game it really felt good to be a force of good helping people you and your team did an amazing job.

Yh It is I had time to put in different cars but I just felt lazy and didn't do that 😅.

Also the sudden pause in the animations was intentional, as to discourage spamming. Thanks for playing and actually "finishing" my game you're the second of two that did that.
Oh bro don't I know it. I pretty much suck at UI/UX and had to work with what I had. So far it wasn't as bad as I thought it was as the the red and yellow complimented the main character and some of the enemies. BUT as I said earlier, not too good with UI/UX, but what I'm so freaking good at is "Game Design" so I put all my juice into making a good fighting mechanic and made sure to keep the player engaged and interested.
As for the gameplay I'm the kind of gamer that despises button mashing, to me it feels like it takes no skill so I decided to make a new way to play a beat 'em up fighting game where you have to be more calculated and plan your attacks against enemies with different stats.
Thanks for your feedback these really help :D.
Been meaning to play this one for a while, but couldn't get it to work on my browser (Safari), working in Google Chrome though. Good choice of Sprites and music! I imagine this was quite tricky to code and animate. This obviously takes me back to games like Streets of Rage and Final fight, even TMNT. I suppose you could introduce weapons, and maybe mini smash-up-a-car levels (See image) to break up the levels. And, if you really wanted to go crazy, vehicles, like motorbikes and skateboards. I would like to try making a fighting game at some point, so would be interested in knowing more about the coding challenges on this type of game.
I mean it really didn't take much to code the fight mechanic, and as for the sprites and animations I happen to have made a few animations in the game although most of them were downloaded from "anizmuz" an itch content creator. I agree that i should have added more features but I was at a cost of being disqualified from the jam, so I had to KISS and chop off the ideas that were good but not necessary.
Don't be disheartened, I'm making a prequal to the game but you play as on of the bosses "PonyTail", and understand her Origin story. It should be playable after the rating phase of the jam.

You have no idea how good it feels to hear that. I've always been the kind who tends to over scope and thus never been able to finish games, which is the major reason I don't participate in game jams. But for this I had a goal, not to win, not to be among the top 30, not to get the highest ratings, but to "finish" my game and so I did. With this thought I was able to finish the game a day early and began polishing.
What's great about this is that 88% if the ideas I had were able to be implemented into the game and that's a lot if you ask me, so seeing someone play my game and say they're inspired and filled with so much ideas really brings a tear to my eye.
If you want you can join Zenith Games on our discord channel here. And here's a full game play of "Modern Fighters I" so you know what you're working with. Modern Fighters Full GamePlay. Thanks again for your feedback it really helped.
