How does your game fit the theme?
The game is Boxing, it puts focus on utilizing area "Outside the Box"-shaped ring/arena, and has complex (or convoluted) gameplay mechanics that suggest the player should "Think outside the box" and utilize the varied weapons available to them and the terrain.

I feel like Im doing something wrong. The game either crashes when I open it or it gets stuck on the title.
Edit: I'm guessing the title is covering the screen, I just dont know how to get rid of it
The game isnt exactly optimized, despite my efforts. You might just not be able to run it. Personally, I have to wait roughly 20-30 seconds after opening it without touching it for it to load the title screen. The titlescreen has buttons and pink and a parralax and stuff, do you mean the bootscreen or the title screen?
I could hear that i was "in game", but the splash screen wouldnt go away.
i'll try waiting for a minute or 2 to see if anything changes. I get how it feels having a game breaking issue in your release.
It might be taking an eternity to load, or your pc cant handle it :p Idk which, maybe try closing other programs if you have anything open that might be demanding
BECAUSE I CANT PIN A COMMENT, I HOPE YOU DEAR PLAYER READ THIS
The round does not start until you use the referee's flag. To get the flag, use q/e (interact) on his hand that is holding it. The referee is the guy in the black and white garb
(Another note: Please try and close any applications that may take up a lot of memory, like editing, animating, etc applications, before running the game. You'll probably need the performance.)
I'm excited to try this one, but when I interact with the big red button, I'm dropped into the arena and nothing happens. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
I forgot to include it in the tutorial, and its only listed on the main game page, but you have to interact with the referee's right hand (in the corner of the ring) and take his referee flag. Interacting/attacking with the flag starts the next round, srry thats not explained, the start room was a last minute addition
Thank you for the quick reply! I probably should've looked at the main game page closer. After playing a few rounds, I really enjoyed the game! The textures you made are amazing and the game feels great to play! The mechanics are really fun to use, and the "weapon" variety is really creative! Well done!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it :) btw tip, you can use the steel soda in conjunction with the chairs. Steel soda makes you faster, and if you throw (use interact to "drop") a chair and it hits an enemy at a high speed, it deals damage, increasing with how fast it is. If you are moving faster when you throw something, the item throws faster/farther :thumbsup:
Just tried that, and wow that's good! While on the run I did find the sides of all the stairs don't have collision on specifically the left side?
Yes, it was an oversight during modeling I was too lazy to fix because time and also it wasnt causing any major issues in testing :p
I like this one. Unfortunately had to dock a point off enjoyment because it ran like doodoo on my PC (and I have a pretty decent build) but artistically this game is a masterpiece. Very well done, the lack of optimization is really my only complaint.
Thanks! Im kind of amateur and spent multiple days dealing with crashing and lag trying to optimize, hopefully with experience Ill figure that out. Glad it actually ran though, I know someone who tried it and it crashed on opening lol
Good game even with my skill issue.
Thx so much, I was concerned I wouldnt balance it well, but as long as you had fun with it :thumbsup:
the game looks great, you should consider making a better thumbnail, perhaps using the logo you made and one of the screenshots.
Thanks for the advice! Ill give it a shot I think
