How does your game fit the theme?
"Down for the Count", our game's title, is a wordplay of the phrase Count Down! Besides this, we've implimented both the ability to be "down for the count" in a boxing match and the KO countdown as gameplay elements. We worked within this theme in numerous creative ways.

It looks like a wario-ware disguise and I'm all here for it. I think it would be fun to achieve something in the boxing department when you succeed in the minigame, for example give Jack Paul a nice jab! I want to be able to beat him.

Developer

If this game moves beyond the jam, I would love to see some actual win conditions added too, perhaps referencing our other reference, Punch Out!. The premise of a janitor beating up the entire heavyweight roster does sound hilarious. In any case, thank for playing our game! πŸ˜„

Ayy another boxing game. Was pretty fun but i think i have one piece of feedback that my game recieved as well. Only dodging without a way to counter attack can get boring. But your game still keeps it fun with the minigames. Good job

We were going to make it so the speed up mechanic would be triggered by the player punching, but we had to limit our scope for the jam. I agree though, it would have been a nice addition. Thanks for the feedback! :D

LOL I feel like this is unintentionally a rage game, managed to get a high score of 6 but couldn't get further on multiple tries given how fast things speed up. Honestly really frustratingly fun though - in a good way! I really like how you go into the game thinking it's a boxing game and it's more a "you've been knocked out" play various minigames game. Fun stuff!

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it! The premise had us giggling over discord VC, so I'm glad you enjoyed it too! :D

Really fun, i liked how it speeds up to keep things fresh. I've never seen a boxing wario ware like game before, great job!

Developer

Thanks for the kind words!  Glad you enjoyed it!πŸ˜„

Such a fun game, I like fast paced stuff. The approach of the game was similar to ours but developed in a completely different way, love it. I know a certain crocodile that would fit in here perfectly

The arena is always hiring more janitors if he’s interested… πŸ˜‚

Very cute minigame collection with a nice narrative!! I had a lot of fun, took a few goes till i understood every minigame but once I did it was very fun! Good Job :D

Developer

Thank you! We had a lot of fun designing this, and I'm glad the minigames weren't too confusing in the end. :D

Good job! Seeing your game name and thumbnail I thought we made the same game. But turns out not at all :)

Developer

Two super unique and fresh takes on the same idea. Your game was peak as well; thanks for commenting so I could find it!

13 rounds is the best I could do. The flying punching bag game is the toughest one. Great art and sound, great job

Developer

I mean, one more mini-game can't hurt, right? XD

Man I think we gotta' see more Warioware-likes in the world. The music in this is really good and you've really captured that microgame feel.

Developer

Thank you! Me and my teammates don't actually have much experience with the microgame genre (both in development and gaming), so this means a ton!
