I must say I didn't even know this version existed.

As in, a comic book?

I am not at all familiar with Witchblade. What is it about?

[MORS BLADE] is the result of a two-months-long hyperfocused deep-dive that originally started as a stress relief project (and whose scope broke containment like heck, of course).

It evolved into a behemoth that spans 80k words, 4 routes with individual endings, 65 hand drawn sketches, 44 inked A4 pages, a lot of digital color, background photos from all over the world (I have taken 99% of them personally in the past 10 years) and zero generative AI.

As an ESL writer, it has been quite a challenge to reduce spelling and grammar mistakes to a minimum, but a welcome one!

[MORS BLADE] is suitable for ages 16 and up and can be played in the browser (even on phones =P). 

Here's the release trailer:

Now that the jam is over, I can say that this was one of ny favorite games re: general ideas and execution! Steamy, you didn't miss at all!

Waiting for the post jam version like...

The Gloncher glonched this jam supreme and stood tall before all. I rejoice that this game existed at all. Thank you.

One of my surprise pick favorite of the jam. The idea was great and now I want to see a full tokusatsu fighting game with this mechanic!

One of my absolute highlights in terms of innovation, I wish it was a little more complete but I loved what you went for!

Now that the jam voting period is basically over, let me tell you that I really loved this game. The gameplay flow was great and I had a lot of fun with this. Excited to see what the other judges thought of it!
My comment as a judge will appear later together with that of the others ;)

"Days since another developer made  a game with 2DFM02 in the big 2020s: "

RESET THE CLOCK!!!!

...oddio, lo avete fatto con 2D Fighter Maker 2002?

Dimmi che non avete usato 2D Fighter Maker 2002 vi prego🤣

(Lo gioco appena esce in ogni caso)

I did! Both the fall from the building AND the aquarium one🤣

The Wilhelm scream floored me. I wasn't expecting it and I laughed too hard at it :) Thanks for this!

Very atmospheric. Never trust a stranger that offers you a bizarre cassette tape: They might bring you to places you wouldn't expect.

I can confirm Vital Charge as working, I played online sets in it with a friend of mine.

It's not required but can you add some screenshots to the page to show what the game looks like? :)

The Gloncher.

Updating the page is allowed. Updating the build not until June 2. Maybe just write the correct move input in the itch page

The All or Nothing mechanics is well represented here. Honestly I find the idea of All Out attacks that become less effective the less health you have quite interesting.

The lock on system is actually pretty neat, I can't remember if I've ever seen a game that does it like this! Respectfully taking notes...

It's not necessary, the web build is just fine! I just asked out of curiosity in case I needed to play offline

Hi, does this game have also a downloadable build? For now web build suffices, but i was curious

This was a great breakdown! I'm excited to try the game out (and secretly hope you'll finish it in the future after the jam with the full sprites because I love the character designs)!

You will be free to update the game as you see it fit after the jam ends.

NICE! Don't forget to submit it officially to the jam too, using the big SUBMIT button on the main page!

Exactly. The judges have a one month time to rate all the games. The panel is composed by 7 people + 3 backup judges that will get in in case we get more than 20 entries!

That was GREAT and oozed style from every pore. I wish I found it sooner. The pre-rendered 3D videos, the real life videos, the CGs and intermissions, the sound design... all of it was awesome. Thanks for making this little gem!

Is this for your game jam game? Can you share some clips of the game you are making for this fighting game jam, so that people can be more informed when asking for details?

You are not forced to tag the jam, but the official tag is #FightingGameAprilJam2026

(Answering with my other account)

Thanks for the feedback and analysis! I was planning to add a mid-range leaping melee attack too and ways for her to stop the player from kiting. They are on my to-do list and I'm thinking how to implement them properly. 

I wanted first to put this out because it was sitting on my hard drive and went full "screw that, we ballin'," even if it definitely needs more time in the oven.

Tbh the idea of making it a boss-centric game doesn't sound that bad. I might actually do that.

I hope go get a new version of it out this Summer!

Technically, that wouldn't really be allowed because the assets should have either come from public resources or made for this jam - not come from previous games.

Then it's perfectly fine!

Not a problem. Just be sure it can also support keyboard controls in case of need.

One can use x360ce in case they have an old DirectInput controller, so I think it's okay. 

Oooh! Honestly I didn't think of it, when I drew that cutscene. Might have been convergent evolution!
