A fighting game where the movesets are randomized every few seconds is a very interesting idea!
I played single player and tested the controls, and they seemed responsive and intuitive.
My main points of feedback: It would be nice to have some indicator on what the current moveset is, so I could immediately react to the change. The background tileset is also a bit "noisy", which could distract from focusing on the players themselves.
I wasn't able to test with a 2nd player, so I didn't get the full experience. But overall, this seems like it has a lot of potential!
Thanks for the feedback! The lack of visual feedback was mostly a time thing - I'm rather new at drawing, so I'm still not that great at even pixel art (as I'm sure you could tell, lol) - so it took a while to make even the assets I had. I think if I keep working on it, I'll definitely include more graphics, especially for the instant actions (which have a delay that you can't cancel out of, unlike the held actions). As for the tile set, yeah. In hindsight, I really should have just gone with the dark grey and a few of the tiles with light grey to break it up. Anyway, thanks again for trying it out and giving awesome feedback!
I liked the blast effect and sound, I wish I had someone to play together
I don't know what to do with 1 player. The music hurt my ears and the graphics hurt my eyes.
Yeah, as I explained in the description, I didn't have time to make an AI for 1 player mode so all the player 2 does is stand there. As for the music hurting your ears, have you considered: turning it down? And I didn't think my game was bright enough to cause pain or dark enough to cause strain, so maybe you should try playing in a brighter room. Anyway, thanks for your constructive criticism; I'll keep it in mind if I continue development of this at any point in the future.
Solid controls and plays well! The big ol' laser is dope.
