Sadly, I did not have much free time this weekend to give to Ludum Dare. I decided to go for a minimalist fighting game.

The game itself is minimalist. You can move, punch and block. It counts wins, but the game never ends, since that's how fighting games are. You just keep fighting new opponents.

The development process was minimalist as well. It is a single HTML file. It was written in Notepad++ on an 8 year old laptop. It loads no graphics or libraries. It has no embedded artwork. It uses HTML, CSS and JavaScript (no canvas).

I didn't have time to test it thoroughly, but it should be playable on Chrome, Opera and IE (only tested in 8). Maybe Firefox as well. The gradients are a bit messed up in IE.

Adding new attacks to the game should be easy. There just wasn't time. It was more important to get it finished enough to submit.

Really good, I'd say. Perhaps with a bit more time, things could be fixed?

not bad, it's a good start. the movement is a bit slow and there's not a lot to do in the game. I like the idea of the floaty block hands.

The idea is very good, and you've done a lot with almost nothing. It's a real shame you didn't have more time, this game could have been so much more.

Nice visual/tech demo. Needs work to be a game and fun, but I'm amazed how well the simple blocks worked at representing fighters. There's enough here to keep going. Could be a very stylized game.

Is it only multiplayer ? Too bad, the game seems great.

Actually pretty nice start, and it matches the theme well. Would like to see a more polished version.

does going out of the screen have a purpose, I just wonder
