Some Sort of Fighting "Game" has Emerged? - Progress Report on Experiment 01000001 01100100 01110010 01100101 01110011 01110011 00100000 01001101 01100101: We have acquired some of the finest organic specimens from Earth. Well, most are organic and human, bit of a hiccup there. The specimens seem to have all come from distinct moments of time from their planet. Based on self-reported metrics, the specimens are presumed to be from these "times":
All of the specimen have started fighting each other. But not with the intent to kill, it seems there's some sort of fighting game? They have all developed unique methods of fighting appropriate to their bodies and experience. This is quite the interesting development, we wonder what will come of this.
I enjoyed a few fights and the menu aesthetic. The characters and fighting environments were rather random not really cohesive. But you def captured a bit of charm with some of the comments and fighting styles of some of the players :)
I had fun with this! It has a classic fighting-game feel, with a nice variety of character designs and great artwork. I would have appreciated a bit more guidance on the controls and mechanics at the start, though. I also wasn’t sure how it connects to the “Old Tech” theme—perhaps I missed something? I also played against someone called O.O, and we ended up tied 1–1!
This is the first time I’ve seen such a big team work together on a jam game—and when I saw it was a fighting game, wow, I can only imagine how much fun you all had making it! Amazing work, so stylish and so cool!
@lvdou2nd Hi! We're so glad you had fun playing our silly game! As for the old tech theme we decided to try to simulate that retro arcade machine feel and CRT TV theming, as well as battling through the ages through our various characters from different time periods! Definitely a bit unconventional haha.
We plan to update the game after rating closes so we'll add better indicators of mechanics soon! Thanks for playing :3
@jooooooise Truly our team size came from someone "going what if we made the biggest game jam team as possible" and really just spiraled out of control with friends of friends and so on! We just kept seeing people land in the Discord server and kept going "oh my god it grows." XD
I don't think any of us had ever worked on a team as big as this for a jam but we made it work! And it was super silly and fun to do. Thank you for playing and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Love the character designs, especially the plague doctor! Pulling fighters from completely different centuries gives you such a fun mix of people. The colourful sprites against that grey living room look great too.
Fun fighting game! Who ever thought of "the elephant in the room" as a fighter, you're my kind of silly. Address Me is such a funny special move XD Well done!
@Isaac-hisey Hi it's me >:), i think the kit was the most fun to design and the address me ability was so silly we were all laughing about it. Glad you enjoyed the game!
Fun game, cool character and move designs, plays really smooth. My only complaint is no gamepad support (that I noticed at least), I find fighters very hard to play by keyboard. Overall great work!
The concept of pitting fighters from radically different historical eras against each other is incredibly clever. It's a fun premise and it translates into a great sense of variety within the fighting experience.
