I don't have a Windows. I wish I could play it so badly!

The game's very fun and both graphic and sound are top tier.

Great game! The movement felt nice, the sound was good, the animations were good, overall a fun experience :)

Couldn't play with two players, but even the practice mode was fun. Fun simple game loop with a decent amount of depth. Enjoyed learning to do pop-up, move, kick combos.

Don't have someone else handy at the moment to try 2-player, but enjoyed the training mode for a bit. The art style is nice, the interactions are good but could maybe be juiced up a bit more. It's a good prototype for a couch competition game. Great work!

Kind of like a fighting game but not a fighting game :). I liked the concept a lot, and clearly there is a lot of polish. Only criticism is I would have liked some kind of onboarding rather than having to read the controls here. For someone who does not play fighting games on keyboard, ZXCV are not familiar keys. But for a game jam this is a phenomenal submission. For most people, I would suggest making a level based game instead of horde mode or multiplayer, but in this case the multiplayer and training vs AI shines.

I don't have a second player, but I had a lot of fun in training-mode :mount_fuji:

I enjoyed playing it! I loved the Audio! At first I was kinda scared because of the controls... and for a QWERTZ Keyboard z & y are switched. Good you can easily switch to a QWERTY layout!

Simple but very fun and slightly addictive. Nice work :)

Nice job!

Could only try it against AI but the game is really cool. The controls are easy to pick up and the balancing to avoid infinite juggling is smart, can't wait to test my skills against another player. Music is also really cool, great job :)

This game so good, I only wish I had a player 2 to verse. The sideways movement felt so clean with the noise and animation. Loved it. When I found out you could jump kick I was stoked, great little game. Feels complete.

Very well polished! The music is amazing! I liked a lot of the animations on the menu, that is something I usually have trouble with when making them. Have I already said the music is great?

I totally love the idea of a fighting game that's not about fighting, and this is a really creative use of the theme. Top notch!

Holy shit I really like this. I need to find another person to play this with right now. I really want to see a larger version. The presentation is top notch for a game jam.

Looks great! Would love a macOS build :^)

shea-kelly 2021-10-08 21:39

very nice 2 player game fun to play with friends :)

sheol 2021-10-11 05:47

Really good job!! Such a creative idea, I love it haha. I think the animation effects make it quite polished, a really great entry!

Very good game with pretty cool pixel graphics. Thumbs up.

What a fucking gem, i loved it so so much, it's so well made in every aspect, first of, the "3 lane" gameplay is simple and effective, you just feels good to play until you get it, the knee to lift into the air, the smash to any of the 3 lanes when you're up front but very limited when you're far back... everything just feels fantastic. I'm an avid fighting game player and this just feels like one of the great indie gems like Divekick or Footsies, i can 100% see side tournaments at big fgc events hosting this just as is, and i for one will keep this on my pc and play with my fgc buddies when they come over, the graphics and sound design also work perfectly, the percentage display is also very clever, the speed increasing each time kinda like in Lethal League... this just feels like an ode to everything i love, 5's across the board for me for sure, i try to give some constructive feedback but in this case i would honestly not change a thing about this, just perfect, thanks for making this, i enjoyed it a lot!

Rly neat concept, I enjoyed it very much. Wish there is mode single player mode :D Also I couldn't manage to make it works with Two-gamepads. That's a bummer.

dilem 2021-10-19 16:21

That's a really interesting take on a common interpretation of the theme! Well done!

varundevs 2021-10-20 05:53

This game is more like an combination of volley ball and balancing but art needs some polish.

I will love to see where you take this :smile:
