There really should have been a tutorial level - it feels like this game throws you right in the action without really easing you into things, it wasn't clear who I was supposed to hit...

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. Good suggestion on adding tutorial stage for starter, hopefully can implement it for future update

Fun sounds for sure. Arts is also pretty nice. Really cool that you just an actual photo you took in Japan for the background haha,

The gameplay is a bit confusing for me tbh, though. I didn't quite get how my attacks were affecting other characters, and I was wondering why my character keeps switching sprites even when I still have HP.

Small little details I saw was the dialogue box at the bottom left of the screen. It has some funny text and I think would have added a lot of flavors to the game if it was more visible.

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, there was coding bug in character switching (was intended for once the player died) and animation problem for the attack

Huh... Well, it's certainly something this one. Nothing like beating up the donors I suppose ^^

Pretty simple but fun game. I kinda just found it easiest not to swap and just let all the other characters die though. It didnt seem like there was much reason to swap characters

I love the idea that someone is willing to donate 1Mill every minute as long as they live.
It was switching characters when I was kicking/punching, for the amount of TTS donation people that were spawning the characters I could use just weren't doing enough damage in my opinion.
The pixel art versions of everyone is super cute and I love the incorporation of the background from the actual Cyclethon.
