Lunge & Parry by amaralMC
A turn-based fighting game made for LD41.

Quick overview
Each turn, the player decides a move between walking forward [D] or backward [A], attacking [J] or defending [K]. After receiving input, the game advances one turn, and the player can pick one input again.
A few notes about the movement system: - Moving in the same direction twice will accelerate the player. - You cannot attack for two consecutive turns. - If you successfully block your opponent's attacks, he'll bounce back a few tiles. - However, if you take a hit, you'll bounce back even further.
You win the fight if you score 5 attacks first, or if you push your opponent out of bounds.

Disclaimer
The game is VERY buggy, as we didn't have a lot of time to polish and bugfix. Some things worth mentioning: - The AI can be, at this stage, very random. We had plans to improve it but we ran out of time :( - The movement is based on tweening the characters, sometimes you can interrupt the animation by sending inputs very quickly. - A lot of animations were left behind, as we couldn't correctly configure them before the deadline.
If you find something gamebreaking, please press [ESC] anytime to reset the game.
Whew! That was our very first jam (in fact, our very first game) and, even if simple ~~and very wonky~~, we're happy to have something published. We're open to all kinds of feedback :)
Thanks so much for your attention! Have fun!
