I've added a post-compo version. It is EXACTLY the same game, only there is a tutorial.
Story:
After the End of the World as Lloyd Blankfein wanted it, the Earth population is 99.99% zombies and 0.01% MARTIAL ARTISTS.
Oh.
You are out on a journey to find your HOT JAPANESE MARTIAL ARTIST GIRLFRIEND.
Goal :
To defeat your opponent, you have to destroy all 4 of its exposed body parts ( neck, left pec, right pec and stomach ).
To achieve this, dodge the opponent's attacks by playing the rhythm game ( to dodge headbutts -> press up, dodge kicks -> press down, dodge the left fist -> press left and to dodge the right punch -> press right ).
Dodging attacks charges your focus gauge. When you have enough points ( see later ), press the left-ctrl key. You are now in attack mode. Press an arrow key to target and launch an attack on one of the 4 body parts ( not left-ctrl+arrow key, left-ctrl, then arrow key ).
When charged at level 3, you can launch a 1 damage point attack; charged at 6 launches a 3 damage points attack and charged at 9 a 6 damage points attack so try to do as much combo as possible. When you don't have enough points and try to attack, you fail and take damage.
The faster a body part blinks red indicates how close it is to being destroyed. When it turns to complete red with visible blood vessels ( see the Excuses section ), it is destroyed and it is no use hitting it any more.
Controls :
- arrow keys to dodge opponents attacks
- left ctrl to launch attack and then arrow keys to target body part
Excuses:
The game as it is may not follow the theme that much. Originally, when a body part was damaged enough, it would reveal vital points hidden under the opponent's skin. After enough points were revealed, there was a second attack mode in which you had to manually aim and attack those points. I didn't have enough time to implement that mode. I am not sure it would add much anyways.
