Maybe it's just a personal opinion but I wish more teams would make a small game with this level of polish than try to rush out something bigger and leave it less cohesive.
Thanks!
I just wish there was more to the gameplay. There was really no challenge. Pick one combo you like, spam it until you win. I think mine was Exhibit B. In fact, while writing this, I played again just by tapping Up and X as fast as I could, and won with a 600-hit combo.
A system that punished you for using the same combo twice in a row would be great. Or make the opponent an opposing prosecutor instead, who moved around, was harder to hit, and performed the same attacks you could do.
Even though the combos made winning relatively easy (once you figure them out), they were fun to pull off - I played it again after winning to try the rest of them. The shaking/reaction of the jury when under attack made combos very satisfying.
The hammers didn't really seem to do much, but the movement was nicer than just having a static backdrop.
Great job!
