Art style is very nice, comical. I didn't know it's a single keyboard multiplayer game when I downloaded it, so maybe useful to put that up in the text.

Game ran beautifully, as more game devs will know; I did not have anyone else around to ask to join me in this game; but I tried out all the moves and it worked beautifully. Good game, good submission, well done.

Should note it is a multiplayer game, i can't evaluate it gameplay wise just because of it, graphics are pretty good.

Very polished! Well done!

Hoping for a local single player, but I like the artwork and sounds.

This is a fun set of mechanics. I didn't have anyone to test with, but I messed around and tried to break everything I could. It's solid.

The upgrades system is an interesting take on the fighting game formula and it feeds into your core mechanics really well.

The clean cartoon art and the single-keyboard multiplayer takes me back to the newgrounds era (in a good way) and I appreciate how straightforward and fun it all is.

It was a lot of fun! The art style is really cute and I even ended up getting to play with @bootygangdisciple for some good 1v1 fun. I ended up losing in the end, but it was a good time. I could definitely see playing this game again with some added maps and other buffs and addons.

So having it be only multiplayer, @bobothegreat and I decided to run it through TeamViewer, and it was pretty enjoyable. It was something I haven't seen anyone do yet which made it exciting and overall just a really creative way of using this theme. The art was smooth, and the mechanics were clean. The only thing I can complain about is that you can back people into corners, making them unable to escape. Other than that, great work friend :)

I can see huge potential just from the art! I absolutely loved it. While I don't have friends to play with at the moment, this is definitely something I will come back later and try again! Amazing work.

I love the artstyle and aesthetic. Nice music too. I think there's definitely potential here to expand with the typical fighting game goodness (maps, items)! Overall it's nicely polished with a great upgrade mechanic. Some balance is needed with the items like the grenade but who cares!

Cute artstyle and aesthetic, very polished! My only gripe was that if you don't click Learn at the start, you don't know how to move, and afaik there was no way to go back to the menu? Also on the upgrade screen it took a bit of pointless clicking to figure out that I have to press the respective move button :D

Overall great job! Loved the expressions on the blocks' faces

Fairly fun and comical, i like the upgrades system and the match style. Cactus blocking is especially comical, seeing how it returns my own projectiles back at me :) The music is nice, but I found the sounds a bit jarring. Controls feel good, would have liked a tiny bit more tightness to movement (but it's not bad at all, as is).

Ah, I need to get a sibling around to play this.

The game is simple but it's really well done! I'm a fan of the art style. Well done!

nachtwitch 2019-10-07 20:58

for such a simple game its quite fun to play

Nice entry! I think the shoot and punch upgrades are a lot stronger than the block, but overall the game was fun and pretty polished.
