Very good work, the old school graphic quality is really excellent. The 2 player mode is perfect for this type of game. Looking forward to esports competitions :D

This seems very fun to play with friends, since I didn't had anyone to play with me I ended up playing just myself, it was actually fun, seeing alice throwing tarzan so high up that it would take 5 seconds for him to fall down. The music is very good.

This was very fun and definitely worth grabbing my controllers from under the dust ! Insanely good music. This is one of those games that can be the seed to something bigger :)

@mrsamafu Thank you for playing and the kind words! It was our first time trying digitized sprites, but I think they turned out good and have that old school look we were going for.

@neeko69 Thank you for playing! Sorry we wanted to add a simple CPU opponent for single player, but ran out of time. I'm not sure what's going on with Tarzan getting hit so high up lol. It happened to me before too, so we're going to look into it, but it is pretty hilarious when it happens.

siberpunk01 2023-10-04 23:56

@javasaurus Thank you for playing! I'm glad you were able to play it with a controller. We have keyboard controls in there, but I think it's much more fun and easier to play with a controller. It was fun to work on, so we might keep expanding it a little more and add more moves, characters, levels, etc.

Hey, just played 'Legends of Lore' and it's a blast! The shrinking level mechanic kept things intense and made each fight feel crucial. Love the homage to old-school graphics and the 2-player dynamic is a solid choice. The soundtrack is a killer touch. This game would shine even brighter with a CPU opponent for solo play. Awesome effort!

character moves fells good, quite straightforward and fun. using keyboard fells funny though.

and i dont even know why i love the art so much

tarzan probably

yeah

tarzan

Love the retro graphics! Also really impressive to make a fighting game for a Game Jam, definitely better with a controller tho

steamhat 2023-10-05 08:00

yo Tarzan needs a nerf so soon, Alice mains gotta eat!

this is a lot of fun and a nice simple use of the theme. lots of laughs were had with friends and that's what counts. also funny from moment one simply because of the art.

golovco-adelina 2023-10-05 16:37

this is amazing! its like if street fighter met alice madness. adore the graphics and colors. great job!

siberpunk01 2023-10-06 02:14

@pabloabraham Thank you for playing! We're glad you enjoyed it. I wish we had more time and I would have made an attempt to program a CPU opponent. It would probably be a big challenge, but maybe I'll give it a go when I have some time.

Nice fun game, i like this Mortal Combat style, Tarzan looks amazing.

voithos 2023-10-07 06:17

Super charming art, and loved the gamepad support, although less awkward keyboard bindings would've been welcome too. Great work!

ecenizo 2023-10-07 17:53

I loved the art, and the music was on point too. I loved how you brough a more "Smash brothers" mnechanic (the dissapearing stage - which btw great theme usage) into a more 2d scroller type of game. The graphics reminded me of Brutal: Paws of Fury.

daniel-g 2023-10-08 05:54

Wow, good art and great idea. Love this type of games, old school Mortal Kombat. Good job!

herh 2023-10-08 07:30

good

jeremy-klassen 2023-10-08 07:48

Love the Background. Good job on everything. Good use of the theme with the edges falling away.

animatrix1490 2023-10-08 18:03

Pretty ambitious to make a fighting game for a game jam! Would have been nice to be able to select characters instead of just P1 is always Tarzan and P2 is always Alice, but again--game jam. I really love the KO animation

deadbydeath 2023-10-09 09:14

Nice idea! Loved the old school vibe it gave me! Keep up!

troy-korns 2023-10-09 13:36

Works well, fits theme good. The animations were much smoother than I was expecting, very nice job on that and good play cycle.

siberpunk01 2023-10-10 02:47

@haotian-chen Thank you for playing. Yeah, I think the keyboard controls need work too. We were trying to think of ways to implement a two player fighting game on one keyboard, but it was challenging to get anything that felt good. Hopefully you got to try it with a controller, it's much better that way.

siberpunk01 2023-10-10 02:49

@montym Thank you for playing! Yes, a fighting game was a challenge in this time frame, but we thought it might be cool to do something with old school digitized sprites so we went for it.

katanajellyfish 2023-10-12 17:50

visuals are dope! this is awesome vibes

darkmax14 2023-10-12 20:36

Loving the old school graphics!

egormnc 2023-10-14 14:06

The game is interesting, it was quite nice to play it, keep working on it and everything will be cool

alextengu 2023-10-14 20:30

Game is fun and well made, despite it has only two characters. Fighting (classic fighting!) is not a trivial task. So you made a noticeable effort on this. But.. installing a 25 MBytes jam game, seriously? :D

moonlightbomber 2023-10-16 03:02

This game is ripe for expansion into a full-fledged fighting game, with the ring-out mechanic a la Soul Calibur.

siberpunk01 2023-10-17 01:48

@alextengu Thank you for playing! Fighting game development was much more challenging than I thought it would be at first, but we've learned a lot. Also its too late for you, but we added a zipped exe instead of just the installer version for the update.

curtis-pelissier 2023-10-20 17:10

Pretty much fun to play, and good job for the "mortal combat" visual
