Super interesting mechanic. Gotta sell those moves. Check out my review of your game at https://www.twitch.tv/scalphamission
Brilliant use of the limitation. I really like the pixel style as well. I can't say it was a lot of "fun" but I think this is one of the best entries I've seen yet- truly great idea.
(Oh, and I see you didn't make the music but man you chose a great one, it fits right in)
Wow! Cool concept, fun gameplay and it fits the theme really well. Maybe some music? Well done!
Hah, I think this is a really neat concept. A game where you're intentionally trying to throw a fight is so fitting to the limitation, and it's nuanced enough that you have to play the part correctly in order to lose. Graphics were really nostalgic. Only thing it needed is some classy 8-bit music and crowd sounds! Well done!
Fun, but I didn't really realize how you can win.
We have fixed some issues and added sounds which hopefully should make it easier to understand what you are supposed to do to "win".
Thanks for playing!!
Original, enjoyable and fun, the limitation was implemented in a smart way
A brilliant and hilarious way to implement the limitation. One of my favorite games of the jam so far. It took me several tries to get good enough to beat it. It finally clicked: this is actually a rhythm game disguised as a fighting game!
The visuals are great, reminiscent of all the old 8-bit boxing games. I love the 90-lb weakling you're up against, and the manager who looks like... well... Don Lemon. Very disappointed that there was no sound.
Also, one of the punches (I think it was the jab?) was not too intuitive to respond to.
Thanks for all the feedback! Soon we might upload an updated version with sound :)
really funny and unique way of using the concept
nice game! the limitation was indeed appropriate with the game
Ahaha, ineed nice limitation.
A really nice way in using the limitation, love it.
I love this concept! Losing when you have to make a show and pretend like it's all real is so difficult! The graphics give me huge vibes of Atari/arcade games and i love them! Good game!
hahah I agree! great style and very good pixel art! I just missed sounds.
Amazing! I love the concept and the art, and the whole thing was hilarious! Very well done.
