A really good game! All the characters are distinct and come with their own music, which I really like. The overall story leaves me with the desire to get to know more outside the ring and to know what really happened. The gameplay is fun and the update mechanics tetris like structure is very interesting. You can have some. but not all, which leaves potential for more strategy. I really enjoyed it.
I can't believe your team made an entire punch out game in a month. And with so much personality and story too. And the customizability of the enhancements mechanic. This might be my favorite game of the game jam.
The game is amazing! Everything is well-done and polished. The game needs some balancing, also it wasn't really challenging enough for me, i could just tank enemies sometimes. Still this game is a banger, 5 stars to everything except the video pitch. I'd love to see how you expand this idea!
I can't really leave any feedback, I am just so impressed that this was made in 30 days. It is extremely polishes, has great game play, and phenomenal sound design. My only thing that wasn't 5 stars was the video pitch, and that is just because I wish there was a voice over or just something more to sell the game, not just footage and beats. That being said though, this game seriously was amazing and I hope all of the devs are extremely proud
This is a Great game! I love the every aspect of this game! the concept, the gameplay, the Art, the Music this game is super polished and well made. The mechanic where you build your character is so much fun! Even tho i do think Damage is the best stat since you can kinda just tank the enemy and just mash punch and do like a 1/6th of there HP. The story is very cool too, i do think there is a tiny bit too much dialogue and thats coming from a guy who likes dialogue in games. I think its because some of the dialogue kinda just feels like fluff, especially with the first 2-3 fight, But thats really my only nit pick about that game
overall a fantastic game with a great concept, great Gameplay and great Art/Music!
Very cool game. Didn't play for too long cause I don't enjoy rythem/reaction type stuff. My only critique would be that the bug guys font is pretty hard to read.
This is so cool! the upgrade mechanic is so unique and the style is insane! As a fellow boxing game dev, I tip my hat to you soldier.
genuinely such a good game. i wasnt expecting a great story too. i haven't played punch out in a while, and this was a very fun way to reminisce. i like the puzzle aspect to fitting upgrades in, even if it felt a bit inconsequential except for the special moves. very very fun gameplay, and the visuals and sound are packed with personality. my main gripe is the font used, it gives a great vibe and fits the tone of the game and other art used in it, but its a bit hard to read, i couldnt quite figure out what characters were saying sometimes. which was a bummer because the dialogue is great. all around, very fun boxing game!
Thanks heaps for coming to play and leaving the feedback!
We've definitely heard this about the font and think you're right - while we liked it for the aesthetic, it can be quite hard to read and will be changed in the future :) Glad you enjoyed the puzzle system too - we definitely wanted to spend more time polishing / exploring / balancing it to make things feel worthwhile but fair.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
I haven't even played any similar games to this like Punch-Out, but this was SO much fun!!!
This one's making the collection for sure.
So nice to hear, thank you!
This is one of the best games I've seen in the jam so far! Excellent storytelling and gameplay.
Glad you liked it, thank you!
Very enjoyable! I grew up playing things like Punch-Out and Evander Holyfield’s Boxing so this was both new, yet nostalgic. I’m a a big fan! Good job and good luck. :D
Thanks so much for playing :) Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome game!
I think the slowdown when hit could definitely be reduced, a single freeze frame or impact frame could inject some more juice and fun to it even. Other than that, not much to point to in terms of faults. Maybe a way to cancel punches faster, since some attacks come out so fast that I can't dodge in time? To be honest, the only real thing I'd complain about is that the video pitch is just gameplay with some music under it, rather than an actual bad game idea short or elevator pitch.
Always a fan of boss rushes in jams like these, and a top 50 game for sure!
Appreciate you playing and leaving the feedback!
I think you're bang on with this, we also love the idea of impact frames and having a bit more feedback! There is also definitely balancing issues and some of the animations for attacks are a bit quick, we're keeping a list of this for further development and polishing so thank you :)
We definitely didn't quite understand the premise of the video pitch in hindsight and made something more akin to a trailer, we were going to do a VO at one point, but we learn for next time definitely!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was a really fun game and a creative take on the Punch out style of gameplay. The upgrade system is well designed and it is so satisfying when you are able to squeeze one more upgrade by moving around the others. Amazing job!
Yes! The reshuffling of the puzzle grid is one of my favourite parts too - the satisfaction of filling it completely :D Thanks for playing!
Am I going crazy or does the bug "speaking" audio pan between the left and right? That's so trippy but kinda added to the vibe of bugs imo.
This was an awesome game, really enjoyed it. The upgrade system is neat, the attacks are pretty readable, especially the stronger attacks, and it's got that nice "punch-out" vibe to it, while still feeling unique. I probably put the most time in this game out of any of the other I played. Great job with this!
Not going crazy! It does :)
Glad to hear you enjoyed it, thanks for playing!
Old bug vs big bug
