Advanced combat makes it so much better XD

Haha I like the art and all that but the gameplay is kinda silly :D
Advanced combat all the way!

Yeah, advanced combat! :) Wish there was some animation of those potatoes.

yngar 2013-04-29 14:43

You and me both Michail.

The gameplay is... strange, i couldn't get the idea what I'm doing (playing just by myself makes it kinda hard to enjoy this).
but... there are POTATOES!

The idea itself its cool, but it needed some animations to look better :)

@Shigor: the idea is that its kind of like playing chicken. The longer you wait to attack the more damage you do. If both players just spam the buttons it takes a long time to play, but if you wait your attacks become much more effective. I probably should have made the attack counter increase faster over time so that players would have more of a reason to wait.
Either way, definitely takes two players to work.

This is a great 2 player game, I like the idea of waiting each other out to build up the (Advanced) attack.

Playing by myself made it hard to have fun but Potatoes made it.

20 points for advanced combat :)

Can't rate audio (no speakers) Overall, the graphics are nice, but I felt the game play too simplistic, and found the game resetting often. Funny though, and the characters are fun.

I had to play left hand against right hand and the left hand won!
Animation would have been nice, but the picture is pretty.
Music and graphics go togheter in the Japanese theme.

Funniest game I've done so far! It made me look up your previous entries.

Like the art - amusing. +Points for humor on the advanced mode :) Background music works pretty well with the Japanese setting too. Agree with others that a little sword animation would be nice. Can't say I've ever seen this type of combat mechanic before - great idea if it's original, and thanks for exposing me to it if it's not :)

Thanks for the comments!
@goerp, my previous entries are just as dumb. Also I am surprised people like the music, I did that in like 15 minutes. Thanks
@pansapiens I got the game mechanic idea from one of anna anthropy's games called mind fuck (which she says is based on a game called mind chess).

Fun little experience and a lot of gameplay out of a simple idea, especially on advanced combat!

Extra Bonus for Samurai potatoes!
