Game was overal good (love the end boss), but leveldesign/enemy placement needs more care.

I really like the fighting system for this, it felt nice. I felt it was a little bit strange that there was no difference between holes that would kill you and where you were meant to go at the end of a level, maybe an arrow or something would have made that a bit clearer. But overall really nice job

Nice music, sounds and fighting system! Several (small) things I had troubles with though:

• Feels weird to be hit by the enemy are they are not actually punching you (while you need to punch them to damage them)
• The parallax scrolling is backward
• enemy should not be placed below you as they are in advantage But I'm nitpicking!

That was some serious fun. The game feel was spot on. Kicking and punching enemies felt so good. Some platforming added in sweetens the deal. Music and fx, all good. Great job man. I want to play more.

If there are two things this game does right they're balance and polish.

Seriously, the combat system, the enemies, even a little bit of the level design make this one of the most balanced games I've played in this jam, and most of the actions you do trigger some pretty good looking visual and audio feedback, in two words: balanced and polished.

I find it really surprising that you even had time to make two enemies and a boss, even if that meant overlooking some minor stuff like the game keeping you in the boss room with nothing to do after the end of the game.

Oh and you werent kidding when you said this game had jammin tunes and slick animations, You did good on that front too.

Overall a really solid entry, I still can't get over how fine-tuned everything was, great job.

Pretty fun game. The animation is really fluid despite the simple stick figures, and the sound effects and flashes really add impact to the combat. The music is cool, though it would be nice to have some different tracks (e.g. for the boss).

Checkpoints would be nice, though. Also, the parallax effect looks kind of awkward when the view isn't moving (as Tero Hannula mentioned).

The attack combination looked great, but got boring after a while, as enemies did not try attack. Too bad. Only touching them (when own character was not attacking) caused a hit, which annoyed me. Especially when enemies were placed in that manner, that needed crouch attack (which would have been nice) or jumping over. These caused unnecessary hits and losing health, jump attack was not helping :/ The parallel background should be fixed to the view_x, not player x position, so it would not look odd while view is not moving. And on boss battle I died immediatly, because previous 'unfair' enemy placement/hits I had only one health. The game should not be restarted, but the level, so it would not frustrate the player. Oh, in boss battle, the background was moving sideways, it should not be? Animations were pretty fluid. The music was the best part of it, you made it?

The battle system is awesome! Controls are fair, a double jump would have been nice IMHO, the only thing i grinned at was the jump-attack, sometimes a bit too short, especially in level 1 with the enemy right after the jump, took quite a few run to know where to hit! But the experience is nontheless very good!
