----

Two mean stick figures try to batter each other out of the screen.

Fight against AI or, if you own a controller, someone you hold a grudge against.

The goal is to push the opponent out of the game screen by forcing down the protective wall behind him. The wall will take a good pounding by your enemy's limp body before crumbling away. Then, the time has come to finish the job!
Notice how your opponent flys further the weaker he gets?

Game is BO5 (win 3 rounds to win the game).


Instructions
============
Follow on-screen instructions to play :)
Player 1 uses keyboard control, Player 2 is AI or Controller.
Important: Plug in your controller before starting the game or it won't be detected.

The fighting was quite fun and each hit felt fairly satisfying. Nice work.

Nice work ! I like the lightning effects, though the characters could have been a bit more polished.

Nice music, unique twist on the fighting game concept. The way the AI always runs away from the charged punch makes me smile.

Great idea and has a really good old-school feel. Not sure there's a lot of strategy or depth though!

It's fun to play, only the characters could have walked a bit faster. The AI isn't the smartest, would have liked to have a challenge. But I'll try it later again with a friend.
I like the way you first have to destroy the wall and can only then knock them out.

Really fun! Smooth animations, liked the additions of the ranged attack and the charge up punch. AI kinda wonky when u charge up a bunch, but overall really nice and super fun (:

Good work on this! I quite liked the shadow effects on the stick figures, they were very nicely done! I thought it was very easy to win by spamming punches and then throwing a kamehameha, but apart from that it made sense and the AI was quite well programmed. Keep it up in future, kudos!

It is odd to get the other player's health down to zero and have him not die, that was a bit confusing.

The charged punch animation was really satisfying, but the jump was terribly low, so it was rendered useless.

Really smart to have blocking a punch dumb the other guy down for a bit.

Good job!
