- Cool game. I like the punch-out gameplay, that being said the telegraphing of the attack wasnt clear, I gave up at only the second one because he kept doing an attack with the same telegraphing yet not the same result, asking me to avoid in 2 different ways even tho I had no way of knowing wich of the 2 attacks he was going to do based on the ramp up (or it a bit too subtitle for me to tell). Was still fun and polished tho.

This is one of my favourites. Glad I could rate it before the end of the rating period haha (I'm almost late lol)
Great game!!! The attacks were perfectly balanced to leave the time to do one hit before they go if you're good enough, and each boss was very different. I hard quite a hard time with the shape shifter but I never felt like it was unfair, all mistakes were my fault. And then the music and the art are top-notch. 5/5 in every category
Thank you! I'm glad you made it in time too
Oh my god it's Punch-Out but mythical horror, I love it. I really liked that each boss had it's unique mechanic. It was quite a challenge! I really like the visuals too.
Such a great, fun punchout-style game! Very dope. The art was actually incredible (especially mixing in gorgous image of yourself along with the other very gorgous pixel art), and I love the story and how you've reimaggined these classic spooky-monsters, and turned them into scary ones. I think the game could have used a bit more clarity, and more clear explanation for things that were happening. Like, I found moth-man the hardest to fight just because I was always looking at his hands to let me know what attack instead of his position, and that kind of tripped me up. But eventually I was able to fall into a nice rhythm with the bosses, and the I got better and the game got really fun. All in all, this is a great game, and if you just give it a bit more consistency with the boss cues and stuff like that, it could rise to the levels of peak. But enough of my ceaseless yapping lol. Great job on this, I would really like to see more!
Thank you! Regarding the visual cue, i honestly didn't have any better ideas lol. I did notice that players took a pretty long time against mothman to get used to the mechanics, but my only thought for a solution would be arrow indicators but that went too far in the hand-holding side of things for my liking
yeah, I agree that arrows would probably have been too much. Glad you didn’t include them lol. By better cues, I kind of just meant making the hand moth man raises being consistent every time, depending on what direction he’s attacking. You can also do subtle things, like having a different sound effect play depending on what direction he’s going to attack?? Idk though, you’re the expert and it’s your game, but those are just some of my thoughts and ideas. Again, awesome job on this submission, sorry if im coming across as negative with all my feedback, because I really liked it.
Very fun game!
It's goated, i've never seen a game better than this, recommended
Absolutely phenomenal. I love the graphics, the punch out mechanic felt good, and the music was really immersive. 10/10
Favorite entry so far, art style is amazing. Was cool to see you stretch the idea of a really simple version of punchout as far as it could go lol. Found the Chupacabra the hardest out of em all so their placement was a bit wack, but was overall solid.
Shapeshifters design is super neat btw
Thank you! Yeah ngl, the boss placement was not the easiest to decide
is that you as the player?
yup lol
that's awesome, I love that
I beat the shapeshifter 1st try, I know I a bit of a pro gamer.
This was actually peak, my favorite entry so far
The art style is fantastic, and I really appreciate the cryptid theme especially. The gameplay is simply addictive, obviously reminds me a lot of punch out. Awesome job!
Thank you! as i thought, the punch out inspiration was quite obvious lol
The art style is brilliant, it gives me a sense of nostalgia for 2000s games I would play as a kid. The music, art and sound effects bring the style together perfectly. It fits the theme very well, too. Great job!
Thank you!
Honestly this is more fun than i thought, and the audio fits perfectly! for the art i kinda not like the artstyle tho, im sorry :<
Tho, the Nessie seems more the last boss than the shapeshifters, haha.
Thank you! No need to worry, it's all good
and i can see what you mean about nessie, but i just think that the ability copying thing of shapeshifter is a fun final boss mechanic
