Combat Time!! is a turn-based-real-time-fighting game where you need to out-think your opponent. Can you predict his movements, and obfuscate your own? Find a friend (no really you need a friend for this game ( I'm serious, 2 player only)) and find out who is the best at the ultimate fighting game!
Will you choose Willhem the Sergeant? Has years of experience from fighting in the cold blooded. wars. Fighting for the ones he loves, he never gives up. His bullets may not do a lot of damage, but they are as fast as.. bullets!
Or will you choose Alfred the Wise? His magic spells can be cast all over the place. From studying the art of magic in his room for 50 years, he has gotten old and slow, but oh so powerful!
Or will you choose El Marco the Armless? Losing his arms in a wrestle accident didn't stop him from what he loved! He's the fastest you'll see and uses his own body to crush you. You can't outrun this big guy. He never lost a single wrestling fight, and is not planning on losing this fight either!
Choose your character, choose your opponent and choose your destiny, in the world of Combat Time!!
Cool concept, and very fun to play. More characters would have been interesting, but the three available are adequate for a 48 hour game (read: I would love to see an extended, post-ld version).
Love it! Sadly there's nobody here to play with me, but this must be incredibly fun. But even when playing alone - which is completely stupid - I was really enjoying it. Nice music as well. "Loosing his arms in a wrestle accident didn't stop him from what he loved!" - Oh god. :D
Yea, an interesting idea. It would be very nice if you implemented a network multiplayer. It would prevent peeking effectively. :P Currently I've only been able to try it against myself and it's a bit boring (ofc, like all the hot-seat games). Looks nice though. :)
Also, I left the game sitting in the instructions for a while and I got the error screen. I downloaded the source and used the command line to run it, if you're wondering.

@BlackBulletIV Yes I'm aware of that, but too lazy + not really allowed to change it. The chiptune music was made with an autotracker so it's not my most proud asset of the game.
This is a great idea! Took a second to really 'get it' but that's a game I think I have never played before. Also, the graphics and music are cool. Keep up the good work ^_^
I do not have another player near me, but it looks like fun! The concept in itself seems interesting (I thought about something similar last week : real-time turn-based. I almost brushed it off as being silly at the time). I wonder how it could be extended to other genre ? The players animations are well done, and I liked the graphics in general.
Oh, and also... "Losing his arms in a wrestle accident" "He never lost a single wrestling fight" Does that mean that his opponent lost more than two arms ? Scary guy...

I love the beard animation! Works under Linux too!
This is a really interesting idea. I think it might be more effective if there were rounds (say 5 rounds of 10 seconds). It'd give players a chance to adjust to opponent play styles rather than throw something out there and hope for the best. And as someone else mentioned, this would be perfect for async multiplayer. Looking forward to seeing what comes of this.
Funny game. Player selection screen was somewhat counter-intuitive, I didn't get that I must press the Lock It (and not even understand the fact that it was a button at all - I thought it was some Tetris-style in-game screen already). Nice music.
Kind of an interesting day, I dont quite understand how it would work in multiplayer XD I featured this game in my video compilation series of Ludum Dare 27 games, if you'd like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/biBzDWmV3kc
Haha, fantastic. Even if they aren't jumping constantly. Now it just needs netplay or something so that you can play with someone even if you live in the boonies in Japan.
Is player two supposed to look away as player one plays?
