Murmillo vs Murmillo

Zeus demands entertainment!

_Nameless Murmillos, you shall battle one-on-one to the death. May the best gladiator win!_

----

A frantic local 2-player fighting game.

Hit your opponent with the bomb to curse them, and ensure you don't have the curse when the time runs out.

Best played using gamepads.

_If you don't have a local friend to play with, we've found Parsec to work really well to play together remotely!_

Unfortunately, I could not play with a friend, but in general I liked the game. Such a "Hot Potato". Nice graphics and music. Good job.

Did not play. Friend not included.

LDJam user 06 Oct 2022, 22:06

Fun, simple game. All aspects (graphics, audio, gameplay) are nicely integrated together.

I played both players by myself, and I can see how hectic this game could get. I'm a big fan of the music for this game, and I'm curious what additions like buffs or more players might do for this game. Very nice submission!

I really like the concept of this game! It's very hard to play alone though :sweat_smile:

LDJam user 2797547 Oct 2022, 10:24

Did not have a friend to play with, but playing against myself also worked out pretty well. Great job!!

Ambear8 Oct 2022, 08:58

I dont have friends, so AI could be good for this game haha
I think it's fun...

Pretty fun, having jump on comma and f are a little strange though

Cedric868 Oct 2022, 20:28

Oh this looks like it could be potentially very fun. It's hard to play alone though. :D
Looks and plays nice. Well done.

Da hora muito bom!

Amazing game. Really catchy graphics. Some work can be done from the gameplay side and can be a made a bit more complex. I think the 10 second rule did redistricted a lot of possibilities. You should try to remove the ten second rule and add a little more complex mechanic in the game, that is if you planning it to take further. Overall good job and all the best. Please do check out my submission as well.

Fun little game, nice job!

Pretty neat idea and take on the hot potato mechanic. Some more environmental interactivity might help, for example stunning each other by throwing things, jumping on each other, knocking things over with the bomb and so on. Nice polish with the roman theme!

I had to play it by myself, which obviously made it a little tricky, but it does seem fun! The "hot potato" mechanic is a really clever interpretation of the theme, and I like how the shifting platforms provide an extra element of strategy. Good job!
