The Fighter Diet by Louspirit

made by Louspirit for LD34 (JAM)

This is a 2 players versus fighting game.
But you are a smart waiter so you dont dirt your hand. You prefer to feed your fighting monster to make it grow and defeat the enemy! What will be your strategy to win ?

The controls are S and D key for player 1 and left and right arrows for player 2.

It is our second Ludum Dare entry. This time we are 2 designers, 3 devs including one music creator.

Hope you'll enjoy ! (better to use the windows version)

I didn't have a second player, so not much of a challenge, but I had fun leveling up my monster and watching him crush the baby egg. Nice twist on the "catch the falling item" mechanic.

So when I started playing this I was thinking: "ohhh so THATs what I'm doing, feeding 2 little brats of dinosaurs(?) that are spitting food at each other, great!"
it's fun though, probably even more if I wouldn't play against myself XD

I normally don't enjoy this type of mechanic very much. Though I did here. Seems like it would be decently fun if you had a second player on hand, (and could taunt them in the process). Though, for added difficulty, playing against yourself is also fun here.

This is an enjoyable multiplayer game. If you have the time I would suggest you try to polish it even more, because the mechanic is solid.

Neat little game :)
I found the controls a bit awkward at times (why S and D and not A and D?). But it's a nice take on both times and pretty enjoyable! :)

I tried playing both players, with limited success :P But a really interesting way to go about a combat game, and good use of the control scheme for a two player game.

I played this with a friend, and if player 1 and player 2 are in the same position, Player 2 gets the food ALWAYS because the second player's plate is above player 1's. Overall its was a nice fun concept but since its rigged towards player 2 it was a bit frustrating.

the game is fun, but the sprite of one of the player is over the other, so he would get every food

Really cool idea, but I unfortunately did not not have a second player, so AI would be much appreciated.

Fun game, but I couldn't get player one to move left in the web version.

Nice concept! I did find that the items fell a little bit too slow; it would have been more fun if the game was a little faster paced. A very good game overall though.
