looks great but Unity give me error at launch =(

I got an "Error launching Unity Player". I don't know whether this is a problem at my side, but I would really love to play your game.:/

evan-greenwood 2014-04-29 10:44

I'm hoping that error is fixed now. I tried uploading the file again. (Sorry, I've got South African internet)

Nice work guys! This is awesome!Would love to see all the extras in the game... You guys always have such awesome juice!

fox_in_sox 2014-04-29 12:58

I can finally play it, yay!\O/
I like the game, it seems really polished and it reminds me of Nidhogg. Impressive entry.:)

Some more magic from the free lives bros...

We're thinking of changing the kanji...

Yojimbo = 用心棒 translates to. "stick who uses precaution" and is used in place of "bodygaurd".

We'd like to make the kanji this: 用心鬥 which means something like "The battle that uses precaution".

Which sounds both badass and confusing!!

So pretty! So much of polish! So much of juice! It's so much juicy madness!

I wish there were:
1. AI player
2. More sweet moves ;) (what's the difference bewteen the up slash and down slash?)
3. More characters
4. More stuff!

Not sure cos I haven't played against a 2nd player yet but the fact that the player that died always spawn from the same spot (that they died) may disadvantage them. Maybe :)

Good stuff!

Although I played solo, this is really fun! Cut away(Zangeki) effect is really cool, nice work.

As a japanese, I think Yojimbo sounds funny. How about Samurai brawl?( but it sounds too ordinary )

WOW, that was great fun! And the first fighting game I've seen on LD so far. really lovely fluid mechaincs, my character felt lighter than air, and faster than light. Great job. Make more!

Fantastic entry. Y U NO CAN DUCK? I think dodging attacks by ducking with DOWN would be pretty swell. I love the art style and the audio, but the sword clashes sell it IMO. Great work guys!

Incredible sense of polish for such a short development time. Controls were great. The aesthetic is awesome. I only played single player, but it seems the gameplay actually has some depth to it.

Don't really see how it is related to the theme though. Still, best game I played so far.

yword 2014-05-03 13:05

Impressive! The combo is super awesome, and the controls are very smooth too!
I think Brawl can be translated to Kanji as "大乱闘", which is also appears in the Japanese title of Super Smash Bros.

That was great! really nice fight mechanics, amazing feedback on the hits, everything was really satisfying. We did play it as two players and it worked really well. Being able to go off the screen and die was a little annoying. Sound was great. Only other thing I can nitpick is that apart from the grave appearing it didn't seem to fit the theme much. Great animated silhouettes too. Almost a five star column from me.

absolutely fantastic. I'm blown away you guys! Both at the coding and the juiciness/animations. You rock!!!

Awesome graphics and music

foodzilla 2014-05-04 20:00

Really fun to play this! I wish I had some people to give it a whirl with, but it was great in so many ways!

helopol 2014-05-04 21:21

Neither the gameplay nor the graphics end up being super original but holy shit both are wondefully made. Feels extra nice to play, beautiful & juicy, plus the health points are very elegant !

dector 2014-05-04 21:31

Solid entry.

zanenga 2014-05-05 20:29

Love this game! It's really my style of combat. I think it should be further developed.

conormn 2014-05-06 01:10

Incredibly well done. Love it!

stevesalmond 2014-05-06 12:02

You guys are total legends - that's the most impressive thing I've seen this jam for sure! Awesome work :)
