Hahaha, sweet! It would have been cool if the opponents were a bit more challenging -- didn't get much of a rush from success.

I love the character animations, though -- the little hops, the gentle gesture of the judging-monk. Very simple, but very effective.

Nice music, good ambience & beginning of an art style. Gameplay is far too simple however, button smashing = winning, no?

Fun game, enjoyable and funny, but a little too easy. Once you get one good melee hit in you can basically spam melee to win.

Great music and audio. I don't know how to defeat the third monk, I lose before get close to him :(

Really nice graphics. The audio felt fitting, but it was a bit odd and annoying that it started over for each new view in the game.

First rounds the opponents were really quite easy but then there came one hurling all sorts of things at me in rapid progression. So the ramping of the difficulty could do with some tweaking.

Nice simple little fighting game though.

Game was way too easy... the audio was all right at first but then got annoying pretty fast...
Graphics were very good, so was the story. I liked the humor a lot :)

Good luck!

The art is really nice, and I loved the humor. My only concern is the lack of feedbacks and the fact that you have to restart everything when you lose.
Anyway, good job!

The art is unique and identical. But I think it would be better if you change the type font.

I like the idea, it is however quite easy (coming from someone who is bad at games) but nevertheless good job!

I had fun with this game, but felt unchallenged by it.

Sometimes the game loads only to 81%. And always (if it loads) I see black boxes instead of monks. My browser is Mozilla Firefox

Thanks everyone for the comments!!!
About the fail in Firefox, I have not been able to reproduce, in my Firefox it works fine. Are you using an old version? Does it hapen all the links provided?

Loved the humour and the atmosphere, but this was way too easy. :D

However, I found a small typo at the intro-scroll, where the text is: "... can reach the highest of the >> skils << ..."

Keep it up! Good luck!

Fun and unexpected. The controls seemed to no let me attack while jumping, and I got clobbered. But it was something fun the whole time! Thanks
