the vibe is great! Not sure how to make the game more interactive

I really liked how it looked, and the music was jammy! Doesn't hook me in to play though, but I liked the idea! It was fun!

Cool! The presentation is great (animations, sfx, music) and the concept is funny. I thought the dash was a bit hard to control, and avoiding the fighters usualy meant running to a corner and than switching to the other when they came too close. Well done!

Also, I like the characters on the boat

Fantastic. Great animation/art, interesting and fun concept, there isn't much room to avoid them so it's quite difficult... i think if you added alert arrows or something that indicates the direction the big beefy men are about to fly in, it would help the player to avoid them better but overall. Spot on, great game! :D

such an awesome game, the art and music are incredible, and it was very cool to recognize the characters in the background. I'd love to see this idea expanded on. awesome work !

nevermind the game jam, this might be one of the prettiest animated games i’ve ever played the artstyle and animation reminds me how much i’ve missed games similar to castle crashers and the other behemoth games. even without the controls, just watching the characters fight would’ve entertaining enough to keep me staring in awe

thanks for your touching comment, im glad you like it so much! I never used newgrounds but I played a lot of super meat boy and binding of isaac in my childhood which inspired my style I think.

A very fun game indeed! The idea feels novel, and the controls are fluid. A quick issue, it is easy to take no damage by hiding out in the left corner. Although, I found it far more fun to try and stay in the middle while dodging as much as possible. Overall, a pretty fun game! I can see this game expanded on in the future with more fighters with different movesets.
