Very nice art and general feel. I would put a circular drop shadow or the like on the characters to make it clear where the hit boxes are, maybe a small indicator as well so you know which direction you'll be pushing in.

Took me a few seconds to figure out what was going on, then it was a graveyard smash! :P Very nice graphics, and the sound effects were good too - the SKA in the background was great XD. The guitar riffs on the menu kept reminding me of something, but I cannot recall - maybe THPS? Nice work!

@magnanix >the guitar riffs on the menu kept reminding me of something...maybe THPS?

Same!

This was a fun little game that would be really nice with friends in local multiplayer and a couple of controllers! I really like the art style and perfectly kicks off October/Fall season.

Strange bug, after playing it once, they closing the game, then trying to a second time, the game throws two errors and crashes. Deleting everything and unzipping again doesn't fix it (I haven't tried restarting yet). nohernando2.JPG nohernando.JPG

Also, the round didn't end after I pushed all the enemies off the platform.

I'm absolutely loving the art style and the concept of the game. It's like a moshpit XD. the music also is funny suits the game very well XD

I like the art style but after my first try, I get some error. :(

There's a great game here. It's a shame that the technical issues at times overshadow that.

But first the good. I love the art. It's all expertly created. The stage, arena, decals and characters are all very professionally done. The music and sounds as well are all great. The gameplay is simple but pushing people off is satisfying.

However same as other people I have experienced technical issues with the game crashing, or with multiple enemies stacking on each other and their sounds getting glitched out, I assume as they collide with each other multiple times and the same sound is constantly playing. If you can fix these bugs though then everything else is very solid. I'd be happy to take another look at this once its fixed, feel free to @ me then

Thanks for letting me play this! Excellent job!

Here's the VOD on YouTube to watch the gameplay, just skip to your chapter on the video! https://youtu.be/-eCnQ8GAhN8

At first, I thought it was going to be a rythm game (for some reason), I was honestly surprised. The setting of the game is fun, I like the art style, it kinda reminds me of graffitis

Pretty fun game.

I love the art style, even though it might not be a very good fit for the game genre. Making the characters 2D makes it a bit difficult to understand depth, and therefore I spent my time pushing opponents with no effect because I was actually not next to them.

The music is really cool!

Good job
