Kinda difficult to play.

Could you be more specific about why you think that way?

Is there an end? Maybe the object you are throwing should be closer to you. It would be more immersive.

doh.. posted to the wrong game :)

This isnt a clear cut end sadly, just eliminate all of the other enemies, also I looked at the java trace and was like... where did I go wrong!?!? lol

I love the calm intro, then the second you hit someone it gets exciting :) fits the theme well, but no real goal.

issacchaos 2015-04-21 22:21

Yea our 'goal' was to clear out the bar, sadly we were fighting with git overwriting our gui changes up until the last minute so we scrapped it. Thanks!

It had a good moment at the start, but it's really hard to understand what to do.
Also, the gameplay is rather lacking, picking up objects is kinda hard (table highlights but you can't use it?) and throwing is also awkward and not rewarding.
Switching between character is a great idea though.

I like the idea of using projectiles from your environment as weapons; reminds me a bit of the gravity gun from HL2.

As you destroy enemies, your strength increases, so you become a stronger brawler, (items like the table are too heavy at first) but as you rack up knockouts, you can lift heavier objects in the scene. Thanks for playing!

hahaha this is fckn hardcore! :)

Weird little game, though interesting :P I love that you're able to pick up and toss the tables later on. The AI seems a little overpowered though, they kept grabbing the things I threw at them out of the air and throwing them back XD

Love the music change once you start the brawl!

smilingcat 2015-04-22 00:50

Pretty awesome. I loved how everything could be used as a weapon, even the pool tables. Great job!

smirnov48 2015-04-22 00:52

Fun game! But after some time, you lose able do damage to other. It seems to bug.

mghareeb32 2015-04-22 00:53

I always wanted a bar brawl game :D
At the beginning, The game is extremely good. But when you play for a while the pace drops a little. Keep up the good work!

pixel-heart 2015-04-22 00:53

Yeah! Throwing things at people! That's what I needed man, thanks :D. I didn't understand what to do, by the way... I was trying to kill everybody but they just didn't get hurt or bleed... did I miss something? I want some gore! >: )

nihilaleph 2015-04-22 01:04

Oh we had quite similar ideas I see xp
Great job! Just a bit confusing as who I should hit and what to do next. Gotta love the transition as the fight start!

nosoupforyou 2015-04-26 00:21

Fun little game but feels a bit rough around the edges. Love the introduction and transition into the action, and the concept of the game is humorous. The game could have strongly benefited from a How To Play screen at the beginning. I'd also recommend a camera that's centered on the player, as the one in place made the game difficult to play. All in all, a solid entry!

The music gets pretty epic pretty fast! But sadly the gameplay can't keep up. Movement feels great! Picking things up works okay. Targeting is a real chore.

For awhile I was wondering why some guys have health bars and some don't -- maybe give them a more visually distinct "dead" state and make it so thrown things go over them instead of pushing them around to make it clearer that you don't have to deal with them.

Overall not a bad entry! It's playable and kind of challenging.
