AKA The World Only Gets One

You are an immortal, and the Quickening is upon you. You must behead all others to become more powerful until you are the only one.

Requires Python and PyGame. Written and tested on Ubuntu, though should work on anything with python installed. Sorry Non-US keyboard layouts, didn't have time to make a control mapping screen.

This was my first time writing in python, let alone writing a game and with pygame.

Update: I used py2exe to create a windows executable. Run src/main.exe. I had to change a few things in order to make this run. I haven't tested how stable this is. If you have to you can use this, but it is preferable to run the script through python.

I like the character customization before the fight. Nice touch.

Solid little game. Runs fine on my Windows 7 box btw.

Game seems a little random, but maybe there's some strategy I don't understand. It's almost more psychological than strategic. I had a hard time getting the timing/rhythm right, maybe some sound effect or music cue might have helped. Character customization is awesome.

Can't you somehow compile this? Would increase the number of ratings a lot.

Very interesting, I like the change of scenery which keeps rounds fresh. Mechanics taking some getting use to but a very good fighting game. well done!

I am glad I am not the only one to see this theme as an excuse to put highlander quotes in his game.

Wouldn't run here, due to missing pygame dependancy. You'd probably get more reviews if you packaged it in a way that runs easily with all dependancies included.

Nice idea, sort of iterated rock paper scissors. There could be more feedback about what move the opponent is doing, what the right counter is, and who won when the round is over.
