It's very funny) If you drew the graphics yourself, it's also very beautiful! Well done

looks great, hitboxes are a bit unclear

The Rick and Morty style really suits the fighting game :). definitely 5 for graphics

Graphics and style is good, but fighting is little bit unfinished and limited space in inn? Ok ok

Really good graphics and fun to play. Movement and attacking feels a little floaty, would be nice to be able to move diagonally. Sound would also be a good addition but really good effort!

Great art, animation and style. the movement and attack feedback could use some more work too.

This was super cool - loved the animations . Do keep adding to this - some music, sound effects and some kind of feedback on hitbos ( maybe some sort of perspective snapping ) would be cool?

The artstyle is great! The gameplay was a bit too chaotic for me. I'm not much of a bar fighter in the first place though. I was missing a drinking animation

This was such a fun game! The art and animations are incredible! As others mentioned, a bit more feedback would go a long way, but you definitely have something!

Such an amazing game, with amazing graphics! Nice job! I just didn't get the point about the theme.

really cool game, could do with a bit of polish in terms of damage feedback and more lenient hitboxes but overall i had a ton of fun with this, great assets and great humor. keep it up!

@slimetrash @coffeup-studios @sozey @davision @johnnysix @tmpxyz thanks for playing guys! I hope you got a lot of fun despite the fact that game have some issues with damage feedback and hitboxes. The theme goal si that in a bar not too much place for fighting coz there is tables, other customer and etc.

Soo brutal! Great art and style, and I like the way NPC guys rush in and start fighting each other!
owca4 Oct 2023, 17:03
The game looks great! There are some issues as other mentioned but with a little polish it can turn into a great game.

@gonzo13 WOW, now it makes a lot of more sense haha. Yeah I got a great time playing, and fighting hitboxes are a pain to code. :v:

fun idea! wish the controls were a bit more snappy though. Polish it up with some sounds as well and this could be a pretty cool little bar brawler. Interesting choice of framework for a game, i'm impressed you could make a game with this :D good job

Cool game. I really liked the graphics. I got a real Oh Shit moment when that big angry dude showed up. =) Thnaks for the laugh and great time. I will be saving this game in my book =)

Graphics are cartoon-network level! Sound didn't work (Firefox, windows), but got the idea ;)

The art of the game is absolutely fantastic. I had some problems till I understand how to hit the enemies because the hitboxes were a little bit awkward. In general I had a really good time playing it! Good luck my friend!

WOW! Sooo good art and animations for jam. I love good old brawls!

The art and the animation are wonderful ! I felt like in a cartoon !
However I felt like the control were quite unresponsive and lacked *punch* (no pun intended of course :wink: ):
I think this feeling is probably due to weird enemy hitboxes and a lack of feedback. I felt like I never really knew when my hit were successful or not.
Maybe adding some SFX and camera shakes would make the hit much more clearer ?

There was no sound at all on my compute, is that normal ?

@furano thanks for playing! Yep punch mechanic needs to be polished. There is no sound coz we didn't have enough time(

A good beat-'em-up, with graphics straight out of a cartoon.

Really amazing art style! Very impressive for the short amount of time.

Desperately needs sounds, graphics are amazing, very appealing, amazing animation. I don't really know how it lines up with the theme, and a restart button would be nice, I refreshed like a dozen times. Good job, if you had an extra day of polish to add sounds could have been really amazing.

Great art! Very nice design and animation all around. But dang did I miss audio on this one. Impact sounds etc for a fighting games are vital, in my book. "Am I hitting them?" was my default state while playing. I also seemed to et stuck between enemies a few times, and with health pickups/beer only spawning at the bar, it was hard to get to sometimes.

A big point of frustration was that the game would result in a Game Over without a quick way to get back in the game. I will always advise to make it as easy as possible for players to continue playing, and mentally pulling me out the game having to reload the page rather than press a [continue] button was a hard sell.

But all in all a very polished vibe!

Very interesting graphics. The sound was really missed. Even though the idea was very good, there was not enough time to implement a really fun gameplay, but it is the start of something concrete

I miss the sound too, but I know in just three days you can't put all the features you plan. The graphics are fantastic, although some hit feedback animation would have been great. Anyway, in general is really fun to play. Simple old school arcade mechanics, I love it! Good job

Nice hand-drawn graphics and fun gameplay! :thumbsup:

Incredible animations/graphics, I enjoyed watching every detail! I would have liked a replay button, because I'm not very good at this game haha And also a goal a bit more defined, maybe just with a timer? But it was a great game to try out, very funny, thanks for the laugh !

The style is executed really well! Good job on that!

I don't really see how it fits within the theme beyond the fact that it's only 1 screen

I think the idea is funny and with mote polish and content it could be a pretty fun arcade.

Pretty good!

@tetracold thanks for playing! the theme fit is that in a bar is not too enough space for fighting :smirk:
