Loved the art, and music, and the unique take on the theme/fighting games!

Good challenge to make a 2P game, but I'm confined alone... I miss a little bot to completely try the game

Nice music, and neat simple graphics as well as animations Just by playing alone, I don't really imagine how you can pray without being hit immediately... I think it's just too simple for a barbarian-like to give a good gameplay.

(Bug ? : praying does not work if you're not oriented to the right)

Cool pixel art and music. To be honest I did read the description before launching the game and I try to make damage for a while before admitting that I should read the description before playing games :p

I like the idea of making a 2P fighting game for ludum dare. Multiplayer games in general don't get much of a chance here, especially ones that are trying to do something different, which yours is. That said, I struggle a little bit to see the creative decision-making that would make me excited in a fighting game. It seems like a "solved" game in terms of choices (always pray ASAP, then attack if you're losing and hope the other player doesn't pray sooner than you after getting hit). I wonder if there was a ranged attack or an advantage for standing closer to the plant, if that would help create that extra dimension.

Thanks for the game, keep experimenting with ideas like this! I appreciate playing them :)

Nice gameplay! Could not completely get used to the controls/attack timings, though. My hit box just could not reach the opponent when I attacked too early or too late but that made it challenging for me, so I had more fun winning!

This one remind me the old game barbarian, pixel art is good ! Well done!

Good game. I really like the idea of a 2p fighting game, and the way you incorporated the theme into such a game was really innovative. Really good concept.

Original idea! I like the gameplay, the art and the music create very good mood. Would be great to have more moves to diversify the strategy. Great job!

I enjoyed the game and idea is very nice. Did not liked much of the stalemateness of the game and I think the reach of the sword should have be a bit higher. Great graphics and music.

I like how you took a fighting game, shoved the theme in, and it somehow actually worked.

The game has solid graphics and music making for a good style. Like others mentioned before it's a bit too easy to get a stalemate, so some additional mechanic to break that up would be cool.

@iak @trigueiro I agree with you on that! I think that a time limit would add some urgency to the game loop for sure. Thanks for the feedback guys!

I laughed so hard. Such a squatting simulator xD It looks cool though. Why can't I rate the graphics..they are neat.
