I'm honest. I didn't get it. It was unclear who I was and I hadn't kazillion years to concentrate on the keys. But! I must say this game is the best fit on the theme "limited space" so far I've encountered. Also, the idea behind it is so freakingly awesome and unique, that trying out this game left a smile on my face :smiley:
@unbugged Thanks for the feedback! You are always the guy on the left side. I will try to make the instructions a little bit clearer.
Super cool game, It's fit perfectly with the theme and the rock-paper-scissors mecanic is a good idea, plus the graphics are super clean, overall, I've trully enjoyed it !
I think I won the world cup thanks to a little bug (my enemy idled during the last 3 rounds). Furthermore, I've got a black screen after winning and after the tutorial (webgl version).
@donhadryel Thanks a lot, I appreciate your positive feedback! The CPU behavior is semi-random, so it might happen that it stayed idle in consecutive turns. I made some last moment changes that might have introduced the black screen bug, I will have a look later today.
Great entry. Fits the theme well, graphics are really nice. I did have to restart the game to properly play though as the enemy just idled everyt time on the first play.
Seems very good, but the enemies never tried to punch me they just stayed idle. I'll give you good points tho cause I see the greatness in this
@achilnos @verttixpertti It is fine if the stay idle, the first matches are meant to be easy and to get harder the more you progress (in the first tutorial they are specifically programmed to stay idle).
Really fun game, we played it only on pvp and it was really good. At first we mostly spammed stuff without knowing what it will do but as soon as we got it, it was all mind game.
I think a small sheet reminding of the buttons could be usefull when we play as on a french keyboard the pattern was not obvious at all! Nice graphics and art overall
Great entry !
Great idea and I love the fact that there is 2-players mode! A bit of bugs: the sounds are too loud in the web version and World Cup opponents always idled. It's a game jam though, so no big deal. Good entry!
@magic-mike Thanks! it is good to know that someone tried the 1v1 mode and enjoyed it since I think this is the best way to play the game. I am also happy to know that you played it long enough to understand it ;).
@antarian @achilnos @verttixpertti Oh sh**t, you were right, they are really only idle-ing. I broke it in my previous hotfix. I will fix it so that they behave normally cause this is a huge bug.
really love the concept and the art direction is awesome good work!
The art work behind is so fantastic awesome. Theme fully shown + the concept is fun as hell. Fantastic work !!!
It's a unique idea that fits the theme very well. I only got a chance to play the world cup, but I can definitely see the potential for mindgames/mixups in pvp. I'd recommend playing a sound or visual effect when the player presses a button, so that the input feels impactful.
@djtequila It is subtle, but when you press a button the player's animation stops jumping (it freezes).
Interesting look for the theme. The art is well done
Interesting idea for a game and fits the theme well. I like the rock, paper, scissors style gameplay. I think the timer could be a little shorter to keep it moving and more exciting.
Beautiful sprite work. I enjoyed beating the world cup and messing around. I found heavy punches to be quite a dominant strategy, they seemed a little too powerful? Though getting those last few hits with a safer light punch made sense. Would like to see this developed further, the world needs more turn based fighting games!
Interesting idea and fitting with the theme
As a fan of boxing I liked this game. This game is the closest to the theme that I've come across, so far. Overall, quite impressive for one person.
great use of the theme, since everyone else gave good comments i think ill focus on the audio and say i tihnk having music and more sound effects would have def impacted the mood and fun of the game. great job nonetheless!
@agent-peterson I totally agree, the thing is that my initial plan was to enter the Compo and I really have 0 musical knowledge to make anything that resembles music. In the end I couldn't make it on time and I entered the Jam instead, only for the +1 day, but I still wanted to make everything on my own. Make in a few years down the line I will learn music and add it to my games...
That was a very nice concept!
I like this game a lot. I think it was well executed. Some more sfx sounds would have been cool.
Really great game - I loved the theme (as well as learning a little something new). I think overall great execution on a fascinating idea. You abslutely nailed theme, graphics, and sound effects - amazing work in such short a time! The one piece I would recommend is I felt like the pacing didn't quite match the theme - I may have not gotten high enough in the Word Cup, but I'd recommend a more frantic, intense pace. I feel like the idea is really consistent with button mashing madness as you scramble to fight inside such a small space. That's just opinion though - overall you did absolutely amazing work!
I gotta admit, this is the best cover I've seen for the jam overall. The graphics are incredible! The game overall could be faster paced and have the enemy give some inkling to what they'll be doing next.
it's hard to read text sometimes
Though I have been beaten by the "boss" of the tutorial for 5 times, I still believe this game to be a really cool one!
I think the controls could have been a little more streamlined which would have made the fighting faster and more engaging, however the style and concept is awesome and the character designs are great.
Loved it, but where was the backgroung music? This rock paper scissors with two levels, high and low, was fun to play! Theme of "limited space" is kinda there, but... It doesn't affect your gameplay in any way, so few minus points from that (characters could be beating each other in any environment to be real). Graphics and mood are through the roof! Amazing game, but without the music I can't feel like a proper bully! Cheers!
@septimor I wish I could have music, but this was a solo entry mate, I can't do everything on my own in a weekend :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
the graphics are unique and the gameplay, my colleague and I had a lot of fun with your game, thank you, continued success
