Did you work in a team?
Just myself. I had a lot of fun making the different parts.
Was the resolution a challenge?
I tried to achieve smooth looking animations with very small sprites. I used some animation techniques to help with readability to varying degrees of success.
What did you learn?
I continue to struggle with scope when it comes to game jam projects. This jam has definitely helped me gauge what I can produce in a 2 week window.

You know this game actually brought back some childhood memories for me. I don't know if you've played those kinds of games but basically it's 1v1 with each player acting simultaneously. You can choose to put up shield, charge up, or a normal attack and we presented these moves with various hand signs. Then there's a hierarchy for which attack beats which and so forth. We had Dragonball Z themed, scifi themed and military themed versions of the game and we played them during recess all the time.
This game felt almost exactly like that, so thanks for bringing back such a blast from the past for me! I gave your game a very good rating!
That's really cool thank you for sharing that. I tried to focus this game around the rock paper scissors aspect of fighting games so I'm really glad that you mentioned it. Thanks very much
amazing animations and visuals. felt a nice connection with the samurai specifically. waiting patiently for Rosham 2.
....no you
good music, nice backgrounds and animations! in these few pixels your characters has personality. good fighting game (i played against the AI, and it was a bit hard for me, but i almost never play fighting games)
Thanks for playing!
Impressive animations! I liked how each character has its own stage as well. I'm not very experienced with fighting games but managed to beat all 4 characters using mostly the heavy attack and special move. I almost lost against the cowboy since he attacks so fast. I'm not sure when I was supposed to use the light attack and grab, maybe a more difficult AI that forces you to use these would have been nice. The game was very fun to beat, well done!
Thanks for your feedback! A better AI would go a long way I think. (P.S. blob omlette is so good, my favorite of the jam 😂)
Those animations are sooo smooth, and it conveys so much personality to the fighters too. The game is very fun, and the movesets are just the right amount to make it interesting. Very well executed game!
Thanks very much! I appreciate the kind words 🙏
Awesome game, nice idea and perfect realization!
Thanks!
Wonderful animation in this one and great character design, the 1 bit style fits there, but probalby with nice spritework those could look great. Game is quite unbalanced… special power can be used non-stop and i found the gun beats anything else :P
Nice job with this entry
Thanks so much for the feedback! My AI is pretty bare bones I wish I had more time to work in strategies for projectiles. The gun is cheap though there's no denying lol
Well done across the board, the music is well done and character movements and environments are great. The AI felt very difficult but not impossible, never felt like I could truly cheese the gameplay in any way. Great work.
Thanks for playing! I was most unsure about the AI so I'm happy it worked well for you
Wow, I really loved the simplicity of the animation for the different characters. I think the all black design really worked well and the motion was great despite the pixel limitations.
Thanks very much 🙂
This is so goood! \o/ the animations, the background art, the music, the move sets the AI is so good and with multiplayer <3 <3 perfect 5/5 ^^
Thanks so much!
Great lowrez character animations and a very accomplished game. Special mention for the music because I feel like I went back in time and I'm standing in an arcade in 1984. Hot stuff!
Thanks very much! I'm so glad you liked the music. I really enjoyed your game as well!
Thanks! 🙇♂️
Great game, two issues i found is that it doesnt detect the stick of my controller (it detects everything else find) and i think the projectiles are too strong, you dont have tools to close distance and there is no air movment so i would made it more expensive to use them like the cast time or if you coudnt do anything after using them for one more second.
Thank you for pointing out those issues I appreciate the feedback. Thanks for trying it out!
Loved the minimalist sprites and how they were still able to convey movement very well.
Not sure if I would have preferred two characters with more fighting depth, or the current four. It’s a ton of work to create 4 unique characters like you did. Mad props :-)
Thank you! Good point though 2 characters would have been better for the scope in retrospect.
Real nice game! I really liked the animations, they are pretty good :D I like the idea of a hp points in a fight game, it creates even more tension in the fight because you know exactly how many attacks you have to hit before defeat the enemy.
Thanks so much! I'm glad you liked it
Alright, we've made a tier list, in typical fighting game fashion.
In a fighting game where you can't jump, the meta is defined by projectiles.
S tier:
CowBoy- He's got a gun and a boot. Beats all projectile spam.
A tier:
The Lady- She got a pretty fast projectile, can be overwhelming
Samurai- With the only anti projectile tool in the game, he's pretty solid if you have the reaction time. (Reacting to bullets is pretty hard though, so he's no higher on the list)
B tier:
Shoto- Walking forward behind 3 fireballs is pretty nutty, but the slow startup makes him lose the neutral spam often.
Haha this is great! I think you're spot on. Thank you for playing :)
Very solid fighting game! I'm horrible at these kinds of games so I can't give a ton of feed back on the gameplay, but the animations and backgrounds look phenomenal. The characters are simple, yet it's easy to tell what sort of character they are. The music and audio were great as well. Noticed no issues at all that came from the lower resolution.
Very nice job!
Thank you!
