Hah, nice. I can play as a fish kicking people. :joy:

The controls work well and I like that there is a character selection menu :)

Funny and ludicrously fast paced brawler. The fish character is my favorite. There is not much else to the game, but that keeps it fun and entertaining.

Very silly indeed. Much like life, things seem to work out best if you're the one doing the kicking.

This game made me laugh so hard! First the funny looks of the characters, then comes the accordeon sound and finally the kicking "animation" plus the sound.

Thanks for making me LOL a bunch of times before I finally finished.

Even though there isn't much to the gameplay, I couldn't stop smiling from the characters and the music. It was a little hard telling whether I would hit someone with my kick.

Maybe make some more mini games using these character designs.

I liked the fast-paced action. Could definitely benefit from some set spawns and difficulty increase over time.

Fun fast-paced game with funny sounds and textures! Nice!

Short but sweet. For some reason I never managed to kick properly while going up, and always ended up thrown off the bottom when I tried it.

Adding a difficulty increase over time would have made me play much longer!

I like the music and sound effects very much.

Hey, this is pretty funny.
Truth is, though, there's not much reason for offensive play. You can sit back, and wait till everyone else kills eachother, then just fight the last one standing.
There's no game progression, and it's not deep enough to warrant hours of training, or a spot at evo, so I don't feel like this game warrants a lot of replay.

Love the pace of each round, but I found the game to be difficult to get a hold of. I would love for the game to start out easier so I can pick up the controls, but get more difficult across the matches.

Funny. A good entry which fits with the theme. Clever aesthetic. Efficent mechanics. Well done ++

Kicking people smash-bros style, as a fish, on a minecraft'y island with accordion playing soothingly in the background. Golden.

This is a fine Jam game. With further work, this could be a nice (releaseable) game on its own, though it would need a tad more mechanics/strategy (just a bit more than kick/positioning, and increasing difficulty in singleplayer).

And - of course - a multiplayer, because we all know what people would really want here ;D

Good audiovisuals and delivery overall. I had fun, and I [chuckled sensibly](https://media4.giphy.com/media/26xBAWyeiw4ig5u3S/giphy.gif).

Cheers!

Hah! This reminded me of the games they used to put on Nick.com back in the 90s. I do wish there was a bit more nuance to the gameplay, perhaps a charge kick or something of the like? Looks like you had fun though making it!

If you like, please take a look at the game I made for the jam, you can find it linked on my profile!

Great little game - simple but effective. Who doesn't want to be a fish and kick people?

On my third play I finally kicked everyone else off the "small world" but then, in a cruel twist of fate, I fell off. :disappointed:

That's a good idea with an interesting graphic style.
And, I know it's not yours, but the music give a great mood.
But.. it's too simple to be played a lot (it could be one of the games of a party game, or it needs more strategic possibilities...)
And why it is not multiplayer??!!

A simple and enjoyable game, though I found it to be a bit on the easy side once you know what you're doing. I like the variety of characters and feel like maybe you could give each different advantages and disadvantages, like having varying strength or quickness. Other than that, there's not too much to the game. Perhaps the fish helped bump up my rating a bit, though. ;)

Funny game. I included it in my Ludum Dare 38 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :)
