Jelly Fighter is a wild 2-player fighting game with 8 unconventional weapons, including:

o Kittens, which should have been the theme!
o True love... make your enemy's heart explode with joy! Literally!
o High-powered toasters!
o Torn off pieces of your own jelly body!
o Exploding ducks!
o A shotgun!

Interesting concept. Great diversity. The game bugs a little with the rotating spoon, but otherwise it's a nice little game.

nice idea and interesting weapons. the health bars move a bit too slow, having to wait 5 seconds after a shotgun slows the pace down. some sound and more feedback, maybe a bigger playing field with covers would have been nice.

Goofy and delightful! I'm going to see if I can trick my wife into playing with me when she gets back from the gym. It looks like true love and the shotgun are both basically joke weapons, but it was still a little disappointing how badly broken the true love/exploding ducks matchup is. Maybe the imbalance could converted from a joke into a feature with a Smash Brothers—style system where the weapons fall from the sky as power-ups!

Funny! The weapons are unconventional, as are the playyrs. Well done. Graphics look nice.
I played against myself. I had the feeling that love does not conquer all.

@wcwedin Love is actually meant to be a usable weapon like the others (but shotgun is, as you guessed, a joke). If you see this comment, could you explain how love is a joke weapon, and how the ducks/love matchup is broken? Thanks!

Hahaha! Those expressions! :P Could only play against myself, had some bugs with the spoon, but nice entry! :3

Missing some sound fx, but nice concept!
