This was really fun! I love your take on the theme, music is dope (that bass!) and fights were enjoyable! The only tiny annoyance was not being able to jump diagonally, but I guess that was a feature, not a bug (making it more difficult, right?) :)
Also psst: your game doesn't work on Ludum Dare page, here's a link to a guide on how to fix it! IT takes a bit of effort unfortunately, I didn't do it myself, but in case you still have time: https://ludumdare.com/resources/guides/embedding/
It is not possible to change momentum in the air, just like some other fighting games (street fighter for example)
We are currently working on the embedding ;D hopefully we can fix it!
Loved this game's interpretation of the theme!
Gameplay was very solid with well thought out characters and attacks.
Controls were also very intuitive.
The art and sound design was excellent.
Overall a very polished game, great work!
Great Job!
I was really impressed by the fact that every figther had his very own style
Great game! Made me laugh, and the last fight was pretty hard!
The investigations are demanding but perhaps the outcomes are better than simply throwing anyone who frowns on death row.
The only thing I didn't care for was the attack sound effects, they got a bit too repetitive given how often you heard them, some more variety in the sounds being made by the characters when they attacked would definitely help.
This is very impressive for being made in a weekend and you should be very proud of your efforts.
Beautiful art and animation.
Great job!
Gave me Norm mcDonald vibes, perfection
You must restore justice! You are Judge Roundhouse with incredible fighting skills, who spares no effort in facing a fight. An awesome game!
I would like to nitpick something, but I have nothing here. Everything is awesome. It looks, sounds and plays great! The humor must be the best I have seen so far and I like that Satan was the least evil of those three. I found all oponents pretty easy to beat, but it makes me feel like I'm delivering a real tough justice, which feels great. Awesome entry, one of my favorites for sure!
(could do it only if all 5 inputs were done during jump, and not always)
Apart from that, I really enjoyed the humor, and, wow, cool fighting game made in 3 days! GJ!
