The Colosseum by Benjamin123
In The Colosseum you fight characters in a stadium to win money. The more health you have at the end of the match, the more money you gain. In a fight, the controls are W, A, S, and D to move, E to attack, and Q to block. In the battle lobby, you can go to the store to purchase more health, buy a spear which you can use in battles, and sell health for money.

The art is minimalstic but works rather well. The sound effects cover the bare minimum and don't really fit the mood. The ui looks like it was made for a different game, it doesn't fit the aesthetics of the rest of the art, so there's yet more to work on.
Without free movement, a strategic fighting system and camera control, the game is barely playable. At least I couldn't get much out of it in the state it's in right now. Well, I hope you still had fun making it and learned a lot :)
