The Misfight by dudsen

[raw]
made by dudsen for LD28 (COMPO)
Added Post Compo Version for the sake of it. More brawl, bottles and rubber ducks!

Keyboard for input, Beware of CAPSLOCK! Hope you are fast in typing. Pretty hard in the beginning, but eventually rewarding.

Some stuff missing, still buggy and whatnot. Play it, hate it, rate it.
Hopefully it made you smile at least once ;)

Yeah right the theme/story:

The most awesome band is in town, however there is this guy who starts a fight, and the only magical power you get from drinking too much is a bottle-ish "HADOKEN!"
At least this is what you remember of the night the next morning.
Eventually it could be as simple as "I drank to much and wasnt able to punch this guy, so instead i threw bottles" .

Use your only ability wisely (i.e: Type as fast as you can the words which appear in the lower left corner to defend yourself)

Inspired by the old SFII fireball battles i had with friends back then.

Have fun, and may the typing speed be with you. You'll need it.

"You hit a guy with a bottle within 4.45 seconds and you don't even know why". Brilliant.

I don't see what this has to do with the theme. It's neat, but quite short.

Nice graphics.
Don't know how it relates to the theme

Funny game, not sure what the tie in to the theme was other than you have one attack (beer?)
Very short, wish there where more opponents!

It's funny that i can't stop laugh. Too bad that it's too short.

I suck at this game ... lol. I enjoyed it tough even if it was very brief.

Hi guys,
thanks for playing and dropping the comments! Yeah, game is pretty hectic, haven't had the time for tuning or adding another character. Spend a full night on painting the sprite sheets. Never done that before, and lost too much time.
Wish it was longer with some challenges though.

Theme is about "getting only one attack" for fighting... Thought it would be more recognizable. If it isn't, sorry for that. After a while being so close to a thing it's hard to judge if people get something you held for obvious all the time. Could be the lack of sleep o_O

Reminds me of Typing of the Death, very neat. Good graphics!! Too hard!! (For me) SFII rulez!

It's really fun and I like the graphics but I don't know how it relates to the theme

It was well executed but I wish there was more content, I kept winning at ~6sec. Typing challenges should be harder when you expect coders to play it :P.

@Nelien: Hah, ~6 seconds is pretty good. Other people say the opposite. You should have seen the first version. Broke the letter "D" on my keyboard. No shit :D
As I mentioned in the comments before, the deadline was forcing me to cut the stuff i wanted to implement in the first place. Wanted to polish this one a bit more. My roommate suggested network play, lets see if i get this stuff done as well. Ok playing more games now... Next up: yours :)

Awesome fun. I found it a bit too hard to keep up though! Awesome tunes too.

Needs more words, more soundeffects (when failing or succeeding), and a difficulty setting for those who flail at typing. ;)

Really enjoyed this! Slick product, really superb graphically and the sounds was fantastic - perfect bar room brawl music and it really had atmosphere. I wish I could have enjoyed the sprites a bit more - i was too busy looking at the target text to really take them in. Perhaps some kind of "action slo mo replay" of your final bottle to the chops would have clinched the deal?

Oh man do I suck at typing! Love the graphics. Could not get anywhere in the game though, not sure if it is too hard or I am really bad at typing. My typing martial arts style is hunt and peck. Enjoy the concept nonetheless!

The graphics were super cool, loved the overall style here! Winning wasn't very clear though, played the game a bunch of times before I noticed the text saying I'd hit the guy with a bottle. Thought I was losing!

A bit quick to complete, but a solid entry. :)

As someone who enjoys playing fighting games a lot, I found this extremely hilarious. The game was ridiculously addictive too (although the audio quality could be better).

I can't write so fast! But it a very good concept, I like everything-sounds, graphics and idea! Very good job!

Hey guys, thanks for the criticism. For the most part I'm aware of what should be improved, but, you know, time constraints, 48h, etc ;)

@ Joror : yep totally right. All this should have been there. That was before I realized I had only 1h left to submit my game and there wasn't any sound at all in it... DOH!

@ jimmypaulin : Gotcha! Nice idea there! Will put some more work in this

Sorry for the typing speed. It should have some difficult level. For people that cant type a bit faster it is probably impossible to play :(

Very good concept! It's very difficult when the words are long!

Great entry! Enjoyed a lot. I really like the fighter's animations :)

LOL - this is awesome. Lovin' the Misfits-soaked influence and you totally nailed the 'crummy bar fight meets Street Fighter with typing' genre.

My best time is 8.3 seconds

love a good typing game. i liked the fight poster description, really set the theme. wish there was more going on, but this is a jam game! might try the post-compo version after judging.
