Fish Fencing by Schwiggy

[raw]
made by Schwiggy for LD32 (COMPO)
Fish fencing is an honorable sport well established in the following countries: . Indeed, there are those who wish it were played at the Olympic Games.

You must defeat your opponent by accumulating points from either slapping their head or body with a fish. Regulation games go up to 10 points, though certain provinces play sudden death or higher point ranges.

----------------------------------------
WASD controls your body and the arrowkeys control your arm. You can also use the dual joysticks on game controllers – and if you hook up a second controller you can play against a friend in practice mode. (Gamepads don't always work in browsers, this one has been tested in Firefox)

I am SO BAD at this game!! That's a testament to how well the AI is programmed, haha. I think the controls work equally well with a keyboard or a controller. Simple yet elegant graphics make the game fun and appealing along with an AWESOME use of the theme. PS: those fish look SWEET!

Games won by me:. Score to red:+13. :) I think it would be much easier if there were some preset combos so you could hit only one button to attack high/low and do combination moves with the directional controllers (like streetfighter)

Once in a while, we come across an entry totally insane. Today is one of those days... I can barely imagine the brainstorming session concluding on this idea. Epic ! Congrats !

Both unconventional and fun. Controls could be improved a bit, but overall this is an interesting entry. Thanks and good luck!

Red has some effective strategies -- impressive AI work! I had two surprisingly edge-of-my-seat battles. I wish there was a little more whipping action on the fish, but on the other hand their limpness makes them seem even more pathetic and absurd as weapons.
