One potential feature that I think would work super well in a groovy game like this is possibly quantifying the punches to the beat of the music. I was trying to personally do that while playing, and oh man does it make an awesome audiovisual experience.
Really cool!
great pixel art, animation and gameplay, only scored 50k :(
very cool game
Animations and graphisms are really awesome, the gameplay is simple but effective and the music is awesome ! Really good job guys !!
This game need to Win I think ! :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes:
5/5
Um bom jogo, com uma estética bonita. Pessoalmente acho que seria interessante um pouco mais de feedback dos ataques e que houvesse um ataque um pouco mais poderoso. Parabéns! :flag_br:
But the game itself is really lacking... There's no depth of combat, you just can run as quickly as possible to the next clump of enemies and bash the attack button and remember to use your charge blast thing. Which looks awesome! But that's just that.
And this has what to do with the theme? I almost feel like you may have thought to build this game without having seen the theme.
Awesome pixel art, animations and really good sounds.
I scored 67k.
One of the top game of this LD !
Beautiful game!!!
However the mechanics are a bit lacking i think. The enemies don't attack you, so you just move from one side to the other of the room punching guys and using the special attack as soon as posible, which feels hollow. This part could be improved imo.
Overall it's great work for the time given. Really impressive!
I can see how you've implemented the theme and it makes for some pretty engaging gameplay, although I feel like the theme could have been a little more present.
Excellent work nonetheless :)
