Very fun.
Really fun once you get the hang of it! Wish there were more levels and characters tho
won't let me fucking lean at all.
The game seems fun in concept.
But the physics feels unreliable. It always feels like you're teetering over the edge of the map to avoid self-destruction, or you're waiting to self-correct. Great for chaotic gameplay! But I feel that it can be more chaotic!! Like adding more pivots for each segment added to really make everything loopy!
Graphics are great.
Music also fits for the tone of the game too.
Hmm, I certainly like the concept behind this game, being a very simple fighting game that still allows for some tricky mindgames, similar to Divekick, Footsies, Nidhogg and so on. I also find the general presentation and construction of the game to be impressive because of how juicy and lively it is, even more so with it being a game jam game. And indeed, I did have a bit of fun battling the AI.
But while it has the right ideas, the execution left me a bit underwhelmed. Just something about the way you've setup the physics for the characters made it feel really unsatisfying: the way the characters leaned back and forth felt so awkward and weirdly delayed/unresponsive. I can't put my finger on exactly what it was, but it just didn't feel good to me. Also, while I do like how simple it was, I couldn't help but wish there was something else to the gameplay, like maybe an extra set of buttons to manage upper-body leaning, or maybe special moves like a dash forward or feint backward to add some high-commitment gambles.
Something to note is that I did play it from a single-player perspective, so I'll admit that maybe I didn't see the game in its top form, so to speak, since I'm sure a human opponent would offer more interesting strategies to contend with.
