I really loved the concept! It was super fun. Wish there was more however.

very good concept & graphics

"You hit a guy with a bottle within 4.45 seconds and you don't even know why". Brilliant.

I don't see what this has to do with the theme. It's neat, but quite short.

xrm0 2013-12-16 18:03

Nice graphics.
Don't know how it relates to the theme

lacutis 2013-12-17 00:51

Funny game, not sure what the tie in to the theme was other than you have one attack (beer?)
Very short, wish there where more opponents!

blazingfanfish 2013-12-17 05:19

It's funny that i can't stop laugh. Too bad that it's too short.

codecranker 2013-12-17 05:22

I suck at this game ... lol. I enjoyed it tough even if it was very brief.

dudsen 2013-12-17 16:51

Hi guys,
thanks for playing and dropping the comments! Yeah, game is pretty hectic, haven't had the time for tuning or adding another character. Spend a full night on painting the sprite sheets. Never done that before, and lost too much time.
Wish it was longer with some challenges though.

Theme is about "getting only one attack" for fighting... Thought it would be more recognizable. If it isn't, sorry for that. After a while being so close to a thing it's hard to judge if people get something you held for obvious all the time. Could be the lack of sleep o_O

Reminds me of Typing of the Death, very neat. Good graphics!! Too hard!! (For me) SFII rulez!

psychomonster 2013-12-17 22:14

ultra cool presentation. cool sounds... good idea... type fighting :D But it is very challenging for me and my laptop keyboard ^^ Well done...

thatguy 2013-12-17 23:23

Beerdouken! Nice artwork and funny concept, well done!

glovecat 2013-12-18 11:33

It's really fun and I like the graphics but I don't know how it relates to the theme

nelien 2013-12-18 21:08

It was well executed but I wish there was more content, I kept winning at ~6sec. Typing challenges should be harder when you expect coders to play it :P.

dudsen 2013-12-18 21:39

@Nelien: Hah, ~6 seconds is pretty good. Other people say the opposite. You should have seen the first version. Broke the letter "D" on my keyboard. No shit :D
As I mentioned in the comments before, the deadline was forcing me to cut the stuff i wanted to implement in the first place. Wanted to polish this one a bit more. My roommate suggested network play, lets see if i get this stuff done as well. Ok playing more games now... Next up: yours :)

rothens 2013-12-18 21:44

Excellent work ^^

triplevisiongames 2013-12-19 19:20

Awesome fun. I found it a bit too hard to keep up though! Awesome tunes too.

joror 2013-12-19 19:21

Needs more words, more soundeffects (when failing or succeeding), and a difficulty setting for those who flail at typing. ;)

jimmypaulin 2013-12-20 00:38

Really enjoyed this! Slick product, really superb graphically and the sounds was fantastic - perfect bar room brawl music and it really had atmosphere. I wish I could have enjoyed the sprites a bit more - i was too busy looking at the target text to really take them in. Perhaps some kind of "action slo mo replay" of your final bottle to the chops would have clinched the deal?

pjchardt 2013-12-21 02:52

Oh man do I suck at typing! Love the graphics. Could not get anywhere in the game though, not sure if it is too hard or I am really bad at typing. My typing martial arts style is hunt and peck. Enjoy the concept nonetheless!

2hitadam 2013-12-23 07:50

The graphics were super cool, loved the overall style here! Winning wasn't very clear though, played the game a bunch of times before I noticed the text saying I'd hit the guy with a bottle. Thought I was losing!

zkenshin 2013-12-24 20:09

A bit quick to complete, but a solid entry. :)

xanjos 2013-12-25 18:56

As someone who enjoys playing fighting games a lot, I found this extremely hilarious. The game was ridiculously addictive too (although the audio quality could be better).

occash 2013-12-25 19:34

I can't write so fast! But it a very good concept, I like everything-sounds, graphics and idea! Very good job!

dudsen 2013-12-25 20:08

Hey guys, thanks for the criticism. For the most part I'm aware of what should be improved, but, you know, time constraints, 48h, etc ;)

@ Joror : yep totally right. All this should have been there. That was before I realized I had only 1h left to submit my game and there wasn't any sound at all in it... DOH!

@ jimmypaulin : Gotcha! Nice idea there! Will put some more work in this

Sorry for the typing speed. It should have some difficult level. For people that cant type a bit faster it is probably impossible to play :(

van-noctar 2013-12-29 11:20

Very good concept! It's very difficult when the words are long!

gameproducer 2014-01-02 20:39

Great entry! Enjoyed a lot. I really like the fighter's animations :)

sonnybone 2014-01-06 15:37

LOL - this is awesome. Lovin' the Misfits-soaked influence and you totally nailed the 'crummy bar fight meets Street Fighter with typing' genre.

My best time is 8.3 seconds

emmelineprufrock 2014-01-06 23:36

love a good typing game. i liked the fight poster description, really set the theme. wish there was more going on, but this is a jam game! might try the post-compo version after judging.
