Great use of color, reminds me of old Jimmy Neutron cartoons, in a good way I grew up on those.

I think it's an interesting idea to create a fighter with minimalistic controls. Landing the combos feels pretty good despite their simple nature and I can see how that could be improved. The visuals are kinda fun and feel like a callback to early 2000's CGI. It looks like a game that a kid would have on in the background in any show or cartoon, doesn't detract from it at all. Also happy to see another fan of Ghosts I-IV and the choice of those two tracks were definitely fitting. Overall, a good premise with plenty of room to expand on.
Truly beautiful modelling, and the multi-player style works well. Obviously, the game needs more variety, but it has potential.
Very polished presentation. Nice graphics, audio and move set. Tried to play online but no one showed up :( Will try to play the game later with some friends to experience the gameplay.
Apart from a few bugs,though i played the online version so its ok the game was really fun,the best i played so far,cheers!
I enjoyed the Graphics very much, the special effects and movements are interesting .
Very fun. The graphics are beautiful. Great work!
Very nice entry! Great visuals, smooth and simple fighting gameplay and it also fit great in the jam theme. The only negative point i've found is that the music maybe is a bit too loud.
Very good job! Congratulations!
Great graphics ! The game feelings are good !
Nice , thanks for this game!
Great work on the robot models, they look amazing. Nice fast paced romp, a bit basic, but a very good start.
Althrough I was fighting against myself, the game looks and feels really good. Responsive, fast controls and very nice graphics! Love the focus on front and the unfocused background. Great job!

Had a couple of pretty intense fights, well definitely be returning to this game again later. Nice graphics, suited the mood very well. Missed the possibility to block once in a while, you really need to read your opponent well right now. Great job!
Nice game! Good art and animations! The gameplay is simple but really fun and can be pretty addictive! (I think, I could only test with myself, since it wouldn't work online :D)
very well executed game. The music is nice; the art is sleek and the gameplay is lot of fun
Kudos for trying to make a fighting game during a Ludum Dare. The art design on your game was awesome, and combined with a fluid gameplay. :) I only wish there would be a downloadable version to keep it to play offline.
This has great potential as a full-fledged fighting game.
The models and animations are truly impressive, very nice work
Very polished! I like the graphics and animations :)
Very nice game. It's fun! The art is amazing and the overall atmosphere is great.
A fighting game in a Ludum Dare, I never thought I could see this one day! I'll try to make one sometimes. Nice concept, I really enjoyed the game :) Some more polish could be great though!
Really fun game and nice use of the theme. Nice graphics and animations, I did find the music a bit loud and off putting. Good work!
Nice little game. I like the graphics and the animations. The music is a little bit loud. I wish to have a move to block an attack. The gameplay is polished and feels good. Well done!
Smooth visuals, I definitely like the presentation. Reminded me of "One Must Fall 2097", although every fighting game with robots caged into an arena does that to me. A nice take on the theme, it's a shame there's no single player possibility currently though as I was unable to find an opponent online.
There's great potential in this one, great job!
No option select? This is a game for filthy casuals!
+++ Gorgeious graphics and special effects. I also liked the colour palettes for the fighters. ++ That announcer! Not the best announcer but remarkable for a Ludum Dare game. +++ The game had combos. I'm biased towards combos. +++ The music fit the mood of the game to a T. Or an I. Or S. Whatever would clear those four lines.
-- I found nothing wrong with the game.
I would play more of this if it wasn't for those other meddling entries. Thanks for the great game.
Rock em Sock em Energizer Bunnies!
I was going to say it was too easy because I won immediately by button mashing, then realized I was playing a 2p game with 1p :-P. You should update this with some enemy AI for single-player.
The graphics. The gameplay is a little simplistic but it works. Good use of the theme.
Fun little game but was super laggy for me personally. Those graphics and animations are top tier. 5/5 overall for me.
Topnotch work on graphics and animation, also liked a simple fighting mechanic. Well done.
Very funny, gud art, gud little sound, and THAT ANNOUNCER, good job dev team I love it :D
Good job! I think it's a great concept with a lot of potential for chaos, i even had fun playing it by myself.... "awkward" but Nonetheless i'd just work on some of the audio clipping and finding a way to prioritise moves so that players can predict and counter attacks more like a rock paper scissors? Either way i loved it!
Extremely polished with amazing graphics! Had a blast even playing it on my own!
I like it, very polished with great music and really nice graphics! Hit feedback and controls are also very good. Really cool stuff, the combo system also works very well which i did not expect. It really did go into an intense tactical battle instead of button mashing. The only thing i found a bit irritating is the end of the fight, which is very aprupt. I'd also like a hotkey for starting the next match.
Also, thank you so much for your review on https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/hamster-habits. You were the first one that had a beatiful retrospective with similar thoughts i had when making the game. That was very rewarding.
I like this game i played with my brother and it was very fun :)
The graphics blew me away! Very very fun!!
Please play, rate and comment our game aswell: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/disaster-on-nebula-one
Very high quality game. Great animations etc. Would have been nice with single player AI to test it more thouroghly.
Nice graphics and general aesthetics. Unfortunately I didn't have another person to play it locally, but it looks like promising reverse tug-of-war. :)
Wow, nice pvp game :D Strategic yet simple! It reminded me to Arms, but well a jam entry. I'm waiting for a friend to test the online version. Great work, good luck!
The bots reminds me of one of the fighter bots in Big Hero 6 (a little bit at least) bot.PNG
Fun game and cool concept, artistically really impressive! I like the details put into this. (for instance the blurred background and bokeh effect).
This is a really solid game concept and take on the theme!
Kudos and great job guys!
Superb graphics, maybe the best I've seen in this jam. And well polished animations and moves. Great Job!
Nice game, unfortunately with no second player, no-one playing online and no AI, I couldn't play the game in a 'true' environment. IDK if you made the online version during LD (if you did fair play), however I think time spent on some AI (even if it's pretty shitty) would have gone a long way, I test the online against myself and it had some pretty big desync issues, and for that to happen locally would probably be worse over the net. Sorry if that seemed too negative, it's still a really nice looking game, and you've got good audio and although I couldn't play against an actual opponent it seemed pretty responsive controls etc. It's hard to say if the combat would be too shallow without playing it properly, but I think it would be fun. Good job
You don't see a fighting game in LD every day! Good stuff overall - graphics are super polished, gameplay is (from my assumption) pretty fun - playing against yourself (left and right hands) does kind of give both of them an advantage. :P Any shitty AI would have done wonders for the entry really, but great work overall!
Probably the first fighting game I've seen for LD, and I'm a huge FG player (plus I loved Divekick). Unfortunately looks like I reviewed this too late and can't try online against anyone else, but from what I can tell:
Good RPS system between the 3 different attacks. Mindgames, ho! Can't quite tell the usefulness of backdash. It theoretically seems quick enough to whiff punish the low and dash attack from max range, but I'd love to see how the devs utilized this since it's scary to back yourself closer to your plug. Good pacing of the game. Gives you enough time to think about what the opponent will do next and how to counter.
I definitely can tell the game will be fun once I can find another person to play with, nice work.
Very funny game. amazing graphics. Great work!
Lovely graphics, fun game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 39 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwlGq7uM8W4
