interesting idea, although i must admit i didn't quite get the buffer fill attack. i really liked the two computer sprites the most. congrats on finishing it

Stellar game. I got to play around with the mechanics a bit, but I didn't have someone to play against, sadly. Still, a great effort. Thank you for sharing!

Unfortunately I don't have a second person to play it with right now, but the controls are really smooth, and hitting the opponent feels great. Excellent game

Nice game :) Only one very minor complaint: The rematch text is not really visible after a match because of the buffer overflow

Fun game. I liked how the charging worked. Just the controls were a bit strange (just stange not really bad)

Yeah, multiplayer! It's pretty dynamic and fun to play, even if the charge/shoot was too impractical to use.
Too bad there isn't a way to quickly restart the game. Also it got laggy after a while.
Good job overall, nice merge of variousflixel showcases

Pretty good 1v1 platformer fighter. I'll have to try playing it with a friend sometime in the future. It looks like a ton of fun and I love the idea of bashing keyboards over little dudes.

Thanks to everyone for playing and for your feedback! I would have loved to have spent more time refining the gameplay mechanics, but you do what you can in 48 hours :)

I think the players have probably too much health

Really neat game and I like how you used the theme a lot. I really liked the keystrokes filling in the background. The eventual lag was my only real complaint.

Sweet little game - would've been cool if there was some more effects to just mashing the keyboard wildly

Awesome! Had some real fun playing it, the super mashing loading seemed at first really dull, but when in the game flow , adds a lot of tension and speed to the game, love it !

Pretty interesting and nice! Loved how every keystroke gets printed on screen behind the stage! :3

Gameplay feels pretty solid, the graphics are really nice and audio/ost is just lovely!

Nice entry!
