Did you try this link? I didn't experience any problems, but the itch servers may have been down (possibly due to this jam)

I played the html version on itch without problems.
A little difficult to understand what's going on at first, but once I got it it's pretty fun.
Also the music is dope.

@clema thanks I did the music in the last 15 minutes of the jam XD very thankful for fast godot export times

I can't say I understand how physics work in this game (as in, I have no clue what I did different when I won vs when I lost...) but the game was fun anyways. Artwork is amazing, it's a great style and music is cool!

Couldn't manage to bounce the enemy off, the idea is simple and works well, but I think there is some tweaks to make inside your physics to make it really fun and having a satisfying bounce effect.

@kasmilus
@kaimon

this was my first time using the godot physics engine so I have no idea how the physics work either XD

Interesting.
The artstyle is unique, good job on tackling this one.

You have some wild art, but a lot of it is cut off on Itch. You might be able to fix by setting width + height in the embed options:

@sudocoffee You sir are right. I can't believe I missed that :smile:

The art style was originally based on a robot arena, but I changed the game to be about hobos because I can't draw robots, only wacky characters

Art style was cool. Loved the music absolute banger. Unfortunately it stopped after a while. Also loved the different character art.

Took me a while to get used to the controls but appreciated them once I did. Couldn't get a win - kind of wish there was more weight to the hits.

Still played a bunch of rounds and had fun :)
