I really liked the delicious blows to the enemies, and the feeling of dodging! The graphics are beautifully drawn! But it seemed to me that the topic of jam is not fully disclosed in the bug mode. Good job!

Developer

Thanks a bunch :) I agree buggy mode isn't as "buggy" as I wanted it to be.

Submitted

The dodging was really satisfying as well the game was overall creative and fun. I did not know what to do with the mutated one and the game looked off but those are just minor nitpicks.

Thanks for the feedback!

A kind of old mechanic from when I was young ! Thank you for making me child again!

One thing, music was a bit too loud compared to sound effects

Developer

Thank you for the feedback

Submitted

Well done, I really enjoyed this, I think you done  good job at getting that old arcade feel. Great punchy sounds and good art. I enjoyed the buggy mode and think you should have went with just that. Flipping the screens has you rethinking  the buttons and I think you got the timings just right. Good entry!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it :)

Damn this is fun! Super satisfying to hit and I love the dodging mechanic.

Thanks for playing :D

Good game ! Loved the visuals and sound design, loved the concept. It is very well implemented (a bit hard I agree but still I think when you master it it's okay !)
Very good entry !

Developer

Thank you !

Submitted

Really good game, but it can go pretty hard...

Developer

Thanks for playing and yes I'd agree :)

hold on... Let me just activate my auto clicker. Yea you just spam k. That could be improved Edit: and of course dodge

Submitted

A really good game, the only thing is that i always press dodge too early and i get hit anyways

Developer

Im glad you liked it. I agree the dodging can be hard because of the short time youre invulnerable.

Submitted

The game reminds me of Punch-Out!! just a bit... those later bugs are really tough lol! Cool glitch mode btw. ^ ^

Developer(+1)

Im glad you liked it! And yes, the more bugs you kill the faster their attacks will be! I didnt want the game to go on forever.

Submitted

Oh god I hope bugs get never to be that big in the world I life ^^ had some minutes of fun.

Submitted

Very funny game, i had some timing issues myself due to the lack of skill ;-;. Few times i think it wasn't my fault, like the dodges that require you to back off (S) felt pretty bad compared to other dodges (A, D). Overall, i think this is a nice interpretation of the theme and the game looks pretty nice. Great Job!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the feedback.

I really like punchout so this was very fun game. I really like the mechanic of red stars becouse i didnt recognise them on start but when i realized game came easier and it like old games to have kinda secret mechanic. Just like punchout have some. Ur trying with textures were good too. I cant say they were amazing but thats still better than me, and i respect for trying to go designs like that. Only bad i can say  from gameplay are the punching what was spamming k and l that fast my fingers start hurting lol. It would be fun to see this game with more enemies too because now it has very lack of variety but i understand the timelimit. Overall good game. (make better art for photos so u get more wiews)

-not intentional bugs i found(not bad thigns just saying)

The enemy punching sounds contiunes after u are dead

(yeah i dont found others not intentional bugs)

Developer

Thanks for the feedback man, I appreciate it. My fingers hurt too from playing too long so I get your complaint :D

Submitted

Great idea!!! ^^ Really liked it!!!

Definitely a great game. I had a lot of fun and added it to my collection.

Definitely can use some amount of polish and maybe a better use of colors that can make it look a little brighter perhaps? But that’s beyond the point of the game jam so I understand.

I’ll definitely be looking forward to playing more of this. It’s absolutely fun.

Keep up the good work.

Feel like I should also comment here, this is just overall really well done I enjoyed it a lot!!

This was hilarious and fun to play, I think the dodge mechanic could have been more forgiving though. Good submission

Super clean game! Well done! I love the animations! 

Developer

Thanks dude! Just rated your game too.

Submitted(+1)

What a neat punch em up game!  Really awesome sprite animations too.  Also the dodging controls were easy to learn but hard to master.  Sound was a bit loud compared to other games, but no biggy hehe.  Great job submitting a game~ Please check out my browser game when you can.

Developer

Thanks a bunch :) Just rated your game too.

I love the concept of the game, and it's superbly executed, from the attack indicators, to sound design. I really like the music. Can't really think of anything to improve on the top of my head, but this is definitely the best game I've played so far in this game jam.
