Wow. I think im sick, because i like this game. The graphics are stunning. The gameplay is pretty good, i just dont like the keyboard controlls(im using a qwertz keyboard)

I'm impressed that you were able to make a fighter for an LD. Good job

A fighting game! I haven't seen one of these in a Ludum Dare before. Graphics are pretty snazzy - a very in-depth entry. Nice!

Interesting idea and funny ironic setting :D
So the health bar is just to remind the players that i this is a beat-em-up but it's all built you have a one-hit-one-kill blow. Nice graphics and Music.

Good graphics and audio. Fighting wasn't much but the weapons were, well, quite fitting with the theme.

Haha, love the effigies :) Great art, sound and play. Really nice job for the jam.

5 for GFX!

Beautiful game and the XBOX controller actually works for this :D Thanks so much!

Great work on the graphics and audio. The one-hit KO seemed a bit too easy. Your interpretation of the theme was really funny.

Awesome premise mixes something new, humor adds great flavor to any game.

Holy crap it's the ZP2K dude. I knew this had to be you just from the initial screenshot thumbnail. Ludum Dare is a blast, glad to finally see you on here! :)
