How did you implement the Theme?
An aging boxer gets punch drunk and sees triple (ILLUSIONS). Like in the 80s film HomeBoy.

How did you add the Special Object?
Dirk is chasing a Real Belt before British Boxing rules him ineligible, at 40. A belt is also a punch.

I enjoyed having to pick stats, perks, and opponents between fights and push your luck games are quite fun. Great work!

What I loved:
- Implementation of the belt as the champions belt
- The art and animation of the crowd
- A MAP! Wasn't expecting to be able to choose stats and opponents 
- All the opponents having names and descriptions
- The music on the map and the ring music, wish the ring music was more NES-like the map

Needs Improvement: - Better implementation of the theme illusion (the opponents ghost form wasn't that fun to me gameplay wise) - How the map responds to clicks - A tutorial on how to play considering has complex mechanics - gameplay was just blackjack (maybe more boxing related abilities) - The game over music - Wish there was a checkpoint system

FINISHED THE GAME!

At least I think I did I can't click anything else and I don't want to lock the game up again


Bugs and Other:

After fighting the last boss twice (bug) the screen got stuck here and I had to restart the game to play (bug)


- I had enough toughness to tank every hit I needed to

Thanks for playing.

Can confirm, I have now completed it and this is what the game looks like. I simply didn't have time for a more polished end game. I believe your's only prints "Winner" to the screen, so please don't be too harsh with me for that.

I always do tutorials, but not here, because I invested so much time into tooltips. Granted the rules book was dumbed down to 1 page, but I've updated the itch page, after realising I had to upload images there and any pasted in were for my eyes only. One such image being the damage matrix. A particularly large graphic to devote game-screen-estate to.

The "map" (you are too kind, more a last minute progression tree) I cooked up in a day or something whereas the main game screen, I spent ages on. The "map" is indeed terrible, but since you finished it I would say functional :)

can you add a tutorial level or mention "how to play" in the description.

Developer(+1)

Of course. There are tooltips all over the game. I spent days trying to do this and obviously have failed. So I update the web page as if anyone even reads it.

Engaging gameplay with good music and art! 

I didn't see much of  the belt part/illusion part but I am assuming you can win a belt as champion.

Great work!

You have to play it a bit to see the illusory opponents; unless they were that convincing!
