What a fun little fighter. In such a small cast of characters, they're all quite unique and fun with very, very different fighting styles. And I do like the "every hit counts" idea. It's a VERY solid fighter that I had a ton of fun with while playing.
I feel like there's a slight balancing issue, as some characters feel extremely outmatched against others due to the way their attacks or moves work - and while I realize the current voice clips might be standins, it really could use some voice acting if spoken lines are going to be a part of it.
Still, love to see it developed some more.
As a big fan of Divekick and Samurai Shodown - games that pay a great amount of emphasis on the whole "every hit is fatal" concept - I was blown away by the creativity and gameplay of this well-made game. The risk-and-reward aspect is just absolutely intelligent in so many ways and it really adds to the intensity of a match.
Every character plays differently from one another, and that's always a nice thing with these types of games. Yo-yona is my favorite character by far, followed by Dr. Kero (but I absolutely dread fighting him with some characters due to his height - a frustration I enjoy, for it adds a layer of complexity to one's strategy on dealing with him).
The animations on the stages, especially The Singularity, are just really nice to look at. I can definitely see the detail and work put into each background and it shines through.
Now, I do have a few suggestions for future revisions:
- After each round, I would consider just putting the "K.O.!" segments after the match. The "Super K.O.!" is fine, seeing how it's the match-ending super, but hearing "K.O.!" every few seconds, and then starting another round immediately after kind of weakens the impact of the "K.O.!" in such a speedy game. Putting one at the end of the match would really drive the point home that the opponent lost.
- When I tried to exit the game to write this, I was unable to escape with the Escape key or pressing a button to quit the game in Full Screen mode. I'm sure people would appreciate a reliable way to quit the game, regardless of screen format.
- If you ever plan on expanding the Tutorial Mode, I would greatly recommend writeups on all the characters and what they do, much like how BlazBlue deals with their "Matchup Strategies." It can provide a player with an idea of how to best play their character of choice, and, with the right descriptions, it could prove helpful for new players to jump right in.
- I know online multiplayer (or "netplay") is not a top priority for the team (or, that's what I'm inclined to think - I'm no developer), but it would be awesome to have such an option available. I can totally see this being a fun game to have a League Play mode for or a game with a nice lobby system.
All-in-all, I can totally see myself putting this into a mystery game tournament. That, and this makes for a pretty fun speedrunning game!
Keep up the good work, team! Excited to see what you all do next!
Really good game! I love play this with my sister. Thnkx
