Did you work in a team?
No, just me.
I did everything except the fonts.
It was an awesome experience.
Was the resolution a challenge?
When I started my project, I wasn't paying enough attention to the resolution constrain, and how it would interact with the game.
The hardest part was to figure out how to make the camera and player movement smooth, it's far from perfect, but I'm quite happy with how it turned out.
What did you learn?
I have never made a game with a true low resolution, so the challenge itself was enough for me to want to join.
This experience made me realize how I need to really focus on my game design choices and to better layout information.
I'm really happy with the experience and how my game turned out, it makes me want to keep trying to develop lower resolution games, and even learn a new tool (Pico-8 I'm looking at you :D )

I love the cute and colourful graphics! The “S” key didn’t seem to work for me, but I still was able to play the game with the arrow keys. One suggestion I have is to maybe add a dash mechanic so you can more forcefully push your opponent. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for playing it! I'm glad you enjoyed the graphics!! I just checked the controls and the "S" key isn't working, thanks for letting me know, I'll update a fixed version when the jam ends. There is a poorly implemented dash in this build using the "X" key, but there is no visual feedback nor cooldown to it. It's kind of a hidden secret as I forgot to remove it before submitting the game :P
Love the variety in characters, super cute! Couldn't manage to get a win, the AI was way too good at playing defensively.
Thanks for playing it!! The AI definitely needs a rework. I need to make some sort of game progression, making the last enemy the hardest one.
This is the best HotDog Sumo Game I've ever played!!
I'm glad my entry could bring some attention to the HotDog Sumo Game genre. hahaha
I've always wonderd what it would be like to be a slippery hotdog... and now I know. Jokes aside, this is a fun concept, good job!
Thanks for playing it! I'm glad I could help you solve this mystery haha
Love the art. Interesting idea too. Does the grease decrease the motion decay?
Thanks for playing!! Yes! The grease decreases the motion decay and the acceleration aswell.
Really fun game, the characters are so cute and well done!
Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed!
Love the animation. Simple, but polished. The space bar doesn't seem to work when you win though.
Thanks for playing! I tryed my best to fix the bugs I was facing before submitting, but this one slipped under my radar :(
