Emoji Fighter by bearcabin

[raw]
made by bearcabin for LD35 (JAM)
A 4-player 2D arena fighter. Attack your opponents with melee, ranged or block-dropping emoji. Two kinds of items will appear: food that restore health and emoji items to change which emoji you are. Pick up an emoji item and use it or throw it at an opponent to change them into that emoji.

Highly recommend using controllers because keyboard controls will move everyone at once. If you have less than 4 controllers, pressing Z on the emoji select screen will start the game.

Controller controls:

Left/right: move
A/up: jump
B/X: attack/throw
Y: pick up/use

Keyboard controls, if you need them:
arrows: move
Z/up: jump
X/C: attack/throw
Y: pick up/use
Esc: quit

All the emoji are from Mac OS. I made the game with Gamemaker: Studio and used Garageband with some plug-ins to make the music and some sounds. Other sounds were made based on things from freesound.org.
