Great, polished game in all criteria!!! (except narrative obv.) Had fun even though I kinda suck lol, great job!!
The animations and feedback on actions are so PERFECT. loved the game.
THIS IS SO JUICY and the skill levels are balanced too so it's good ol button mashing for the easiest fighter but it requires practice for the hardest ones. Great game overall!
Very juicy and fun! It all fits together nicely, good job!
Wow, great polished game in nearly every aspect! Reminds me of UFO 50 in some ways, which is a compliment for sure
The juice on the punches was immaculate, it felt really nice to execute a parry! And excellent sprite work. Nice polished little package.
Really fun! I'm terrible at fighting games but still found this one easy enough to get into.
I have to agree with the others, it's a small but very polished experience! I really like the mashing aspect of the game, even though you can play it much more strategically. The "get up" for raising the timer again was cool too the first time I saw it!
this is so fun! i love the little zooms and the sound effects, it's extremely satisfying
Super polished and fun! any action feels really satisfying
Remind me of punch out, well done!
The countdown-as-health mechanic is such a clever idea! The punches feel satisfying, and landing a perfect parry or heavy counter to steal back time feels incredibly rewarding. Simple to understand, but surprisingly tense and skillful. Great job!
nice feeling beat em up once you got used to the timing. the chip tune music felt great and the artwork made me nostalgic for the nes. well done.
The little zoom-in when you nailed a counterattack was absolutely masterclass; such a good feeling! Really smart twist on the theme, loved it!
Well... there goes my mouse...
Simple and effective, really satisfying to play! Only gripe I have is that the screenshot sold me a rumble with 5 fighters. Nice sound design.
One of my favorites so far! ♥️
very satisfing game ! sound is good
Very fun game! love the sounds and gameplay!
Nice game, especially like the sounds and music. One thing to be wary of is autoclickers. My mouse has a built in 10cps autoclicker and it was able to win all fights up until finally lost to Tommy the Viper, just from spamming left click at 10cps.
max rating on enjoyment, this is so funny and lovely sprite
