Sunset Death is a 2 player duel game: - The goal is to kill your opponent 3 times before he does the same. - You can dash, backdash (both only once in a fight) and slash with your sword.
Controls are simples: - P1: s (backdash) d (slash) f (dash) - P2: l (backdash) k (slash) j (dash)
The game is a mix of reflexes, mindgame and alea. But the most important is that it keep the fight simple. Everything is in the atmosphere.
This is my first time making a game in solo, my first time doing art for game and my first time animating something. That was REALLY TOUGH !
Softwares : - Photoshop - Construct 2 - Audacity
Hope you'll enjoy it.
HEY, LISTEN ! - THE SOLO MODE IS POST-JAM - Please, if you like the game, live a vote or a comment in the newgrounds page. Thanks ! - IF YOUR PLAYING ON I.E : there might be no sound.
Love the look! It's also nice to see a multiplayer entry. Couldn't understand what I needed to do at first. Keys didn't perform the same action on occasion - sometimes I would walk backwards and other times I would slash. Would also like to see some audio. Thanks for sharing!
Great atmosphere, style, and animations. It took me a few rounds to really get the timing. It would have been great if there was an option to play the computer.
The attention to detail in the animations is incredible and the gameplay feels pretty tight. I'm a big fan of local multiplayer games so I'll try it when my friends are over.
I think it would look even better at 2x pixel resolution. Both Chrome and Firefox make the edges fuzzy when zooming in.
Thanks ! Maybe I'll add a single player mode later, but I have a lot of work to do and playing the game alone would take of lot of interest from the game.
The graphics were gorgeous, and the game had a simple and dark mood to it, and the ambient atmosphere helped that. Unfortunately, the game got very boring very quickly, and it didn't take me very long to stop playing, let alone asking a friend to play it with me. Sorry!
Nice game. I love the art style. It was fun to play against my friend. Perhaps you could add some music to make it more interesting. Also a sound effect when you hit each other would be nice. Good job!
Too bad there wasn't a single player option... I don't think the AI would be too hard to program (at least I hope not.) Nonetheless, it has a lot of flair and replayability in its current form. The graphics were gorgeous, the gameplay smooth, and the audio fittingly sparse. Congrats on your quality LD entry!
Alright, I got back to it. The style is great. I only would have liked animated clouds. I think I would have liked it to be a bit faster, too. If the dodging recovered quickly it might be more fun hopping around as you pass for another slash. I played by myself and it seemed like the left player won on draws. Maybe it should be random?
Really great artwork there man! I didn't enjoy the mechanic that much, but good job on making something. I didn't understand why you could back dash but then not slash again.
W0W! Beautiful graphics and sharp sounds enthralled me. If you continue to develop this, I was not clear on the controls and the delays between button presses and the animation. I had been expecting the animated actions to respond instantaneously.

Unfortunately, no single player option
I like the ambient and mood, it's really awesome!

I played with a friend so I can also rate the gameplay. Its really fun and yet so simple.
But nevertheless a additional singleplayer would be great.
Great job.
