nice typing rhythm/beat-um-up game combo.
- graphics worked
- as for the typing, between the letters and upper/lower case variations (even with good typing skills), I was so focused on the letters, I couldn't see the fight happen...

That was a pretty interesting experience overall. Took me a while to figure out the upper case, 'cause it seems like only the left shift works for that? But nice work.

@Jason Kennedy thanks, yeah its a trade-off! maybe it makes for good watching-someone-else-play time

I liked this lot. it has a good amount of polish, the music is great, and I was caught off-guard by what appears to be messages in the letters haha.

The difficulty spikes pretty hard by the third fight, though.

Well done, clever game - I love the art style!

Great fun! And, apparently, I'm not terrible at typing, so, that's a plus to know :) I really enjoyed your art style. Great work

Funny game. Cute graphics and nice gameplay. I was confused for a sec by the upper case ones because the right shift doesn't work. Also, this is pretty hard for me, haha

This game reminds me of some WarioWare minigames.

Great game. I really liked the art style, and typing/rhythm game idea. I was afraid it would be too easy for me at the beginning but then the difficulty went up and it was great fun with the 3rd and 4th fighters. Haven't made it past the ghost character yet, maybe I'll try one more time...

The difficulty spike from fight 2 to 3 is pretty high, but the game has good amount of polish

So much fun!! Got stuck on level 3 and just kept trying. Love the animations.

It's so funny in an oddly non-humorous way. Challenging though!

Very fun challenging game. Took some time to get use to the uppercase vs lowercase letters. good job!

I also got stuck on level three! I probably tried for wayyy too long to beat it before I finally gave up. I enjoyed the sounds in the game! I think sometimes the notes are not on beat, and so I had to turn the sound down in order to focus on when to hit the keys. I really enjoyed the animations, especially the animation the main character does after winning. Awesome game, really fun!

@Meijerson thanks for playing! yeah, that was one thing i needed to focus more on. they spawning of the commands should be on the beat, but getting them down the tracks and landing on the target at a different beat was being a little tricky! I might fix it up once the votings all done :)

Enjoyed playing it. And yeah, the third one was too difficult for me. If I knew how to type completely without looking it might work, but without that ability... not possible! ;)

Really cool concept here, but I agree with the general consensus that the third fight is a little unbalanced. I'd have also liked to see hear some of the music tracks get a little more fleshed out (perhaps different melodies over the beat if you're winning or losing by a lot?) but despite my nitpicking, the gameplay, art and music were well done.

Pretty good concept, it was a little difficult though, it had pretty good art, although like many already said the third fight was a little too hard. Other than that you may need to improve more of the feel of getting a note right to make it more satisfying. All in all, I had a lot of fun playing the game.

I really enjoyed the artwork! I'm not a huge fan of typing games, and would've liked to have seen more of the fighting aspect at play, as opposed to just a skin. Also, committing to the fighting theme with an arena and the trimmings that go with it would've definitely scored some points. :smile:

The animations, artstyle and concept is really great! I love to be reminded of how bad I am at typing :D. I think the game would benefit by having music that is a bit more "catchy" and making the inputs follow the beat more. Considering the time-limit, I find the amount of content here impressive.

Awesome combination of a typing game with a boxing game! I also like how the rhythm of the music is incorporated in the speed of the characters. I didn't have too much time to look at the graphics but I found it odd to do such sophisticated fighting out in the rough grass instead in the box ring.
