Seems to be a problem with the Windows version. I will fix it as soon as I can.

Loved the SFX (recorded by yourself I believe :-D) and the shadow effect. I think the energy ball is completely umbalanced though, you can just leave the attack button pressed and you'll win every time.

Thanks! Yes, me and my friend had a fun time recording the sounds :)
If you play with 2 human players you "catch up" on the special attacks so it will be pretty balanced. Unfortunately the AI isn't that clever :)

Graphics are good, I liked the animation on the energy being released after a fireball.

Nice touch that you implemented your own sound sfx, I feel pretty naughty after hearing you pant and grunt for so long though :$

However, I noticed if I spam fireball, I can win every time against the AI. Against a real player, it is a different matter though and is quite enjoyable. I'll keep this to play against some of my friends.

Nice game with good detail and touches.

Nice fun game. It would be worth putting a restriction on the fireball-type attack, as you can just spam it at the enemy to win. I love the player shadows and the sound effects. Well done :D

Nice game. Apart from the energy ball, the attacks seem well balanced. It runs smoothly although there seems to be a glitch where you can defy gravity by punching in mid-air - intentional?
Com players are a little too easy, being unaware that you can abuse the energy-ball n'all...
It's a lot of fun to play and has a brilliant graphical style. The "evolution" isn't as obvious as it could have been though...

Thanks everyone! It is meant as a multiplayer game. It only has a computer player so that you CAN play the game alone.

Walkthrough against computer enemy: Hold down "K"

Nevertheless, I like the graphics and the game mechanics

Fun little game. The special is unbalanced against the AI; a jump reflex would help fix that a lot.

Neat game! I find it kind of strange that you fall slower when you attack. Only could test it against the computer, could be a lot of fun with a human player. shadow is cool too.

Here's my feedback:

- the jumping part is a bit buggy (strange jumping controls)
- the AI is overpowerd in close combat and too bad in range combat (you can defeat him by spamming fireballs)
- sounds are okay, the "K.O." sounds funny :D

I played on Windows 7 64bit.

Quite fun. But a kind of limit to fireballs would be really good for balancing .

I like the fact that it fixes a problem many modern fighting games suffer from, namely the fact that one player is way too strong. I also really liked the animations + the shadows they had. The AI was not very intelligent though.

Really fun if you can resist using the fireball. :D
Sound and graphics are awesome. *thumbs up*

I liked the graphics, shadows were a nice touch. I played the computer and couldn't resist spamming the energy ball a bit, but the evolution aspect was a good addition.

@cappelnord If you play with 2 humans, that means AERIAL COMBAT!

was fun and nice controlls and movement other then the attack controlls were a little odd or hard to use. Also you can just hold down one of the buttons to shoot a steady stream of fireballs and pin the enemy to the side well you slowly kill him.

I loved how much feeling you put into the sound. I just kept throwing fireballs and I won every time.

Loved this gem!! What attention to detail.
The movement felt really solid, and the graphics were a dream to look at. Perfect sound to go with it. A really nice polished little game. The evolution aspect seemed a bit tacked on, but it led to some game-theory kind of strategies. I only played against the computer, but I can imagine how a real opponent might increase the strategic aspect.

Cool game!

The first thing I did was to let two AI's fight it out, it looked quite spectacular. Then I tried to fight an AI myself. It turned out all I had to do was press the 'J' button repeatedly to win, I didn't even need to move, so that made winning very easy. I bet playing against another human would be a lot more fun, but I don't have one available. The game was really polished, and great except for the difficulty. I also loved the animated shadows of the characters!

I just love how you can fight in the air DragonBall style. The shadows are awesome and music is really nice! This game is fun to play over and over. :)

The only thing is when you use your special power the computer isn't have a chance. If you add a bar for energy which regenerates slowly then this problem would be easily solved.

Great work man! :)
