How does your game fit the theme?
The game features a reversed perspective of a first person fighting game. You are the enemy and the player is the game AI you fight yourself from the perspective of an enemy. TLDR you control the enemy the roles are reversed

Interesting role reversal here, simple but very creative in the realization. Good job!
I think it's a super creative use of the theme! Nice art and nice gameplay Idea ! good job ! ;)
Glad you liked it!
Awesome concept! Really liked it and very funny to play with the perspective!
Thanks for playing!
That's a really great take on the theme, the perspective switch is fascinating. Great work
Thanks for playing!

Good fighting game. A bit confusing at first, but it plays well once you get the hang of it. Needs more levels.

I was a bit confused at first, but I got the hang of it. After I 'won' (lost) I played again just to get the rhythm of when to duck (hooks) and when to lean (jabs). The controls were very responsive. I think my only complaint is that there's only one repeatable round. It would have been fun to have more fights, or a knockout counter. Also, it was confusing at first if I was winning or losing XD
EDIT - Adding a star because the experience of learning to counterattack is one that stood out to me! Thanks for taking the time to implement such an interesting and engaging feature!

I've seen the roles reversed between the player and the game in a couple of different ways this jam. I think yours is the most unique, in that it's a boxing game rather than an RPG.
EDIT - I'm upping this by a star because it genuinely is a creative take on reversing the role between player and enemy.

Nice work on the animations and vfx. 3D isn't common in a 48 hour game jam so props for that.
Thanks a lot for taking your time to give a detailed review I appreciate that. And your rating is only fair. I wanted to make a tutorial to explain what the game is about and how it works but unfortunately couldn't manage my time well enough for that and even created bugs in the process. Again thanks for playing and I am glad you liked it 🙂
I updated the review. I hope you don't mind :)
You did a great job. I hope my updates do a better job of communicating my experience, and reflecting your efforts!
I won.
What you actually played my game?? TYSM AIA man I missed the stream dang it!
I've seen a lot of games that make you play as the enemy, but this is the first one where you are intentionally trying to LOSE. 10/10.
I am glad you liked it
I got froze a few frames when attacking, but the game has really cool concept!
Yeah I know it's an issue on my side. I should really stop pushing last minute features to avoid bugs like this. Thanks for playing!
i thought that was david goggins in the thumbnail😭
Ahah it's cool innit. It's a character from makehuman
the dodging is like in God Hand, really cool
Haven't played that game. I was inspired by the fighting game from "The Hex" but made it 3D. Thanks for playing)
For some reason I couldn't get this game to work. I read the warning, and let myself die the first round, but even after that, I couldn't get anything to happen, even after pressing every key. Anyone else, or is it just me? (seems like a cool game though!)
Sorry to hear that. It's really my fault for rushing the pause in the last minute. I tried it on my device and my brother's and it works the second time. Apparently not always. Thanks for checking out the game though🙂
The simplicity of this flip lends to its genius. It brings a whole new perspective that we rarely see in games. With a little refinement and time, this game could really stand out among the rest.
Thanks a lot for the kind words.
I really liked it tbh, i'm not a big fan of like sport game or fighting game but this one was fun!
Great idea! I can imagine expanding the concept to include tournaments and different kinds of fighters.
Originally I wanted to include multiple fighters and you'd switch between them but realized that I didn't have enough time for that. Thanks for playing
Nice idea, good job :)
Thank you
Really cool idea! Just as a note, I don't know if it was something on my part but the game kept pausing each time I threw a punch
I know yeah it's a bug I added pausing last minute so I messed up. I posted it in the game's page if you die once the bug will go away. I'll have to wait until the jam ends to release a patch. Thank you for playing
This game is hilarious, and fun, i liked it very much.
Thank you😀
Fun game, I liked the feeling of punching myself :P
Agreed lol. Thanks for playing
I love the 2nd person aspect of it. Very cool and funny idea :D
I dont usually like downloadable games, but you have so much karma that your game deserved a try. It was totally worth it, this game is very polished, I love how you managed to make the swing movements when you press arrow keys, and the concept is super fun, this is a great submission. One thing that bothered me a lot was the fact that when I press “space” to attack, the game kinda “freezes” and I have to press it again. Overall, awesome submission, congrats!
Thanks you for playing. Yeah I know the freezing thing is so annoying. Somehow I messed up and the attack button is pausing the game. I have explained it in the game's page. Thanks again for playing :)
