The Boxer's Pact: Fausts of Fury by ScalphaMission
Will you sell your soul for a shot at the title?
You couldn't hack it in the big times and you got your butt handed to you on a silver platter, but will a secret demonic pact in the tradition of your late father help get you to the top?
Win the title, but at what cost?

EDIT: In the training screen, it's hard to see what the block button is!!
I hope to see some post-jam updates! :)
Here's a cool thing that happened when I played :D Dual knockout!

(Yes, as you can see I was weak and used the devil perks)
Whoa, just when I pasted this screenshot I noticed the demons in the crowd :||| Nice touch.
The fight feels like an Oblivion combat, when the hits or misses is kind of random, and really liked the announcer voice when someone is knocked down. I only disliked the wall text in the intro.
I win combats and I can't buy more upgrades, is it intentional?
I don't understand how the dodge work, it feel like random.
As for the dodge, we're retuning some of the stats to try and fix that.
The concept is great. Game loop is simple and easy to understand. Controls are comfortable. The training mode was very useful to learn how the game works (I love how the exit sign is the exit button, nice touch).
**NEEDS WORK**
The upgrades felt a bit strange and a little unnecessary, more like an afterthought than an integrated part of the gameplay. Sound effects were decent but the music felt a bit out of place (I can see what you were trying to go for, but I don't think it worked out). The blocking feedback was strange, took me a while to realize that the block is displayed above the person who is attacking, not the person who is attacked. Some decals (people in the crowd) felt out of place as well as they looked more realistic than the fighters.
Overall, impressive entry for a jam game. Good work!
very good job in such short time. Impressiv how many stuff you put in there.
A bit more polish and removing some Bugs would have been great.
But in general a really nice game.
