I loved the artstyle and the touch of humour!
I would have loved being able to kick asses in that kawai form as well. :P

Sometimes the game won't load for me (Unity tries to allocate too much browser memory), sometimes it just takes a lot of time (Win7/Firefox)

When it works, it's great though. The theme is spectacular.
Using Alt for Kicking in a browser game is a bad idea though as Alt activates the menu bar in Firefox.

As keys, z/x/c would probably work better for a webgl export. Really funny, too bad it's so short :/

Nice graphics, gameplay worked, enjoyed flexing a lot!

Not sure about your alt control scheme though, z/x/c is right under WASD and a bit of a nightmare to use (big hands).

Would flex again!

This was a memorable entry, so hilarious.
5 Stars mood, really loved the happy and active mood,
5 stars in Humor with those poses, specially the ass stretchs that was hilarious! XD

I must say the music was an awesome pick, although I was so sad when I reallized it wasn't yours. Also the end was abrupt. Good job overall, amazing training!

I liked this more than I thought I would. The Power Buff Girl was a bit overpowered in my opinion, but all in all great gameplay!

AMAZING ENTRY! cool graphics, original and fun to play, just few details like walking over the scenery and the enemies are sometimes kinda shaky, but still being amazing and pretty cool to play! (nice humor touch too)

Very funny! It was a bit fun to play, too. It would have been much more so if it had just a few more moves.

Great looking game, looks just like River City Ransom :) The alt and ctrl button controls a little frustrating.

Awesome game! I shouldn't have been surprised to see Chuck Norris the main villain of a fighting game, but I was.

A homage to the 80's? A satire? Both? Nevertheless, hilarious game, and a fun one too. I like the references and the overall River City Ransom feel.

I love the River City Ransom style graphics and that great music (though it is rather loud in my opinion). Combined with the humor, the game had a really bouncy, bright atmosphere.

Where this kind of falls short for me is the gameplay, specifically the button mashing aspect of gaining power. It felt a little tacked on to me.

Super fun to play, loved the pink dress. but its really unrealistic, you can actually kill Chuck Norris (if that was the boss in the end) This would never happen in real life, everyone knows this.

Great entry, how we could not like this as great fans of River City Ransom and humor in general! Love the theme, the humor and the variety of settings, a really solid piece for a ludum dare. Congratulations!

Would flex again, but if you used unity you maybe you could have taken the time to work a little bit more on the sorting layers, because I was about the quit the game and the end of the beach level since I didn't realize that I walk down to an exit a first, but then again maybe I'm just an idiot

Silly and funny game in the style of Kunio-kun series, I liked it. I didn't like to see unity's skybox in the end, though

Fun game with nice art & mood. Not the best layout for controls but they work well and do exactly what they should. The signs & feedbacks really work and I instantly understood what the "girl power" did from the pose.

The passage to get out of the beach was a bit hard to see though.

Liked the graphics, and the humour. Didn't really feel that there was much skill involved in attacking the enemies though, whether I got a hit on them or they on me felt a little random.
Still, good fun.

It's nice concept, but I think spamming the left shift button is a bad idea.

Nice graphics, very River City Ransom :D Loved the poses and the humor :D

Only thing that took me a while was to figure out what the girl-mode does, but once I did, it was very funny too :)

very nice river city ransom looking art, and quite fun to play. was a little concerned at the start since i got to the end of the first level and could see the unity skybox, and was thinking there was only one level, but then the next finally loaded.

Fighting in the powered up form would have been awesome. I got the little heart stomp thing just took me a second to figure it out.

I love the theme, the audio and the graphics! I laughed hard!
Gameplay is good too, though I think the kawaii form shouldn't have a cast time for using its ability (that does not mean you should quit the casting animation, that animation is awesome)
Just an opinion, but I had a really fun time, good job!

I understand this guy's not the most popular guy in town...

I like the retro style and the graphics. (The music too, but that's not yours apparently.) It's funny with the bodybuilder theme, although I don't think it connects to the shapeshifting theme very well (it would if you actually changed shape).

Lovely little game! It was quite funny! The "floating" movement felt a bit off. But, something a lot of people fail at with this style, are the attack collisions. You did a nice job with those! The music was nice too, not too over the top, or subtle. Also, sometime the foreground would become the ground, and I could walk over cherry blossoms, etc. Over all, nice work! :)

Nice humour! Gameplay is cool and a good start - it would be very interesting if the "Get in shape" thing was quicker so you'd use it more in actual fights, I mostly used it before fights now.

Fantastic art style and music! Loved the high quality and varied animation. Only graphical suggestion I would make would be to add layers - some graphics (e.g. the exit gate on level 1) render underneath the player which can be confusing.

I liked the shapeshifting ability and how you charge it, the special forms were pretty funny to me, and again the powers were animated really well.

I like the beat-em-up style, the only comments I would make here would be to tighten up the controls (the player/enemies seemed to have too much inertia and so felt slippery) and hitboxes (which i felt were a little out of whack making it feel like it was easier for me to get hit than to hit back). As for the enemy AI, i noticed that if you stand directly above or below them they can never hit you, since they just walk toward you they will never get on the same y-level. Maybe they should keep their distance in the x until they're level with you in the y?

Overall a fantastic and remarkably polished entry. Would definitely play again and I could see this making its way to a full-length publishable game pretty easily. Great work and thanks for your entry! I had fun playing it and hope you had a good time making it!

Love the humor, graphical style. The gameplay was a bit touchy, and there are some bad guy follow glitches- other than that- it took me a moment to figure out how to truly pump up, but after I did- I spread the love!

I loved the graphics, very cute looking overall. Using "shift" as the shapeshift key was sort of funny, I dunno if the pun was intentional, but. For a web game a lot of the key input was unfortunate. Alt paused the game for me (Chrome), and I think staying away from shift as a button input, ESPECIALLY one that requires repeated tapping, would be wise because of sticky keys.

Love the graphics. Very double dragon. The gameplay kinda got easy when I realised I could spam the power puff move, but still fun to kick some ass. The humour and meta-comments were amazing. Very well done!
