The Boxing String by Clamshell64

[raw]
made by Clamshell64 for Ludum Dare 51 (COMPO)

Welcome to The Boxing String!

This is a hybrid typing/fighting game. You have ten seconds to type in your string of moves, and ten seconds to fight using the moves you typed out. If the LD embed doesn't work, you can go to the itch.io page and play it online there.

-----------------HOW TO PLAY---------------

Use arrow keys to walk, SPACE to jump and X to punch.

When you're typing, there's a few commands you can use:

WALK - grants you 1 "walk" move

JUMP - allows you to jump once

PUNCH - allows you to punch once

In order to defeat Ducky, you'll need to master using all three! Good luck!

Wow! I like the concept a lot! Mixing a typing game with some sort of arcady/combat type of game is really clever and works really well. The music is good and the art is simple but beautiful and terribly effective !
Well done!

The duck is very cute :) Very innovative idea, I like how it pushes you into thinking ahead of what to do before of the next session. Kinda hard do decide it on your feet, and kinda hard to execute too

nice music, charming protagonist! like the spin on fighting games that focuses more on managing resources thank purely on execution
