It doesn't look like you can attack while jumping and no combination of attacks and movement got past his guard until I started moving both players at the same time."},{"author_name":"cacciatc","author_uid":"127","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 4:57am","epoch":1367211120,"text":"The scenery seems like your underwater--and I like underwater.

It's rather surreal.

Aside that, a nice game with potential.

I liked the characters and art. The walking and other animations looked a little weird, and the high attack was almost worthless - it was better actually just to walk into the other guy, because at least your sword was forward. I think more vigorous attacks (and maybe a defense key) would help make it a cooler fighting game. Also AI enemies. But cool, and interesting visually."},{"author_name":"MinionStudios","author_uid":"22273","time":"May 6, 2013 @ 4:53pm","epoch":1367858880,"text":"Tough to get used to the controls, but interesting art and method of damage."},{"author_name":"Brassawiking","author_uid":"13137","time":"May 13, 2013 @ 8:34pm","epoch":1368476940,"text":"Great use of technology, could turn out to be a interesting browser game engine here."},{"author_name":"tnovelli","author_uid":"17590","time":"May 24, 2013 @ 8:09pm","epoch":1369425840,"text":"Hey everybody, thanks for all the comments! \r\r@Test User: WASD would be nice, unfortunately certain browsers interpret Control-W as "close page" (lookin at you Chrome)\r@uberneen: maybe they're married :)\r@cacciatc: my friends all got a kick out of your "underwater" line!\r@DavidErosa: thanks, it worked!\r@Mark Hildreth: cheers! and yeah, I do a lot of FP stuff...I basically got into JS by way of Lisp.\r\rYep, the controls really sucked. After LD I rewrote the keyframing system so you can attack while running\/jumping\/crouching to get past the enemy's defense. Probably going to disable collisions so you can walk past\/through enemies too... definitely for the RPG game, which will hopefully be in alpha by mid June."}],"images":["ld26\/17590-e2cb97599ffe42480dd70d115dda5ba8.jpg","ld26\/17590-4b7c28e8a2b8fa28983ba7feac892d5c.jpg","ld26\/17590-ac9f2611cfb948148ebb55764e7ed878.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/tnovelli.net\/games\/ld26\/","text":"Web (HTML5)"},{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/tnovelli\/ld26","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"25332","g_author":"17590","g_event":"LD26","g_eventkey":"16","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"25362","g_title":"Kanvas Kombat","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"1309","g_commentcount":"13","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/233892\/17590-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/233892\/17590-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/233892\/17590-shot2.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Just a simple 2-player swordfighting game running in HTML5 Canvas... with 100% 2D vector graphics, no bitmaps :)\r\n\r\nCONTROLS: see menu.
