C : Parry

press "R" to Reset.

========================

Here's how scoring works:

========================

-Hitting your opponent with your flamingo's beak scores you a Point. The page (white rabbit) raises a flag indicating which payer scores first.

-The painter on the left keeps track of Points by painting roses (black for you, red for the heart). First to 3 Points wins the Match.

-The King of Hearts keeps track of the Match winner, raising a sign for heart or spade. This triggers the painter on the right. Best of 3 Matches wins the Game.

======================

Notes on Clumsy Combat:

======================

X and C (thrusting and blocking) will result in different motions based on the location/orientation of your flamingo's head/beak. Experiment to find the best times to attack or defend

Trouble scoring points? Try following up a jump with a low attack, or thrusting after a well timed parry.

If your flamingo gets tangled, mashing buttons may help. If you're really stuck, you can click (and drag) with the mouse. WARNING: this will probably result in some wonky physics!

Music/SFX were created/added post-jam.
