Paper Combat by tgiant

[raw]
made by tgiant for LD 44 (JAM)

This game is all about fighting. When playing this game think of Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter.

I had this idea that I needed to implement and I finally got it done.

In Paper Combat you play as a character in this paper drawing world. You need to fight/combat your way to the top of the ranks.

NB: Take note I spend a great amount of time in adding 2 player capabilities. Which means you do not only have to play the campaign mode but can actually battle one of your friends in an old school 2 player one keyboard take down.

I also support Joysticks for player 2.

Enjoy and have fun.screenshot-final3.jpg

It will work on Linux or Mac as long as you have java installed.

This game was super fun to play! I loved the art style that you have chosen, it feels very unique :D I am about to take on some of my buddies now with the 2 player mode!

Check out my game if you have a chance :) https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/44/time-thief

Great little battler. I loved the animations. Really impressive! Audio was good too. It felt good to punch and kick the AI.

Impressive game. The animations are interesting, and feels fluid. The AI is strange, but nonetheless good job.

Just and advice, since not many might now about cmd and how to run java apps, you might want to consider adding some startup scripts (start.bat, start.sh, with a java check and the command "java -jar game.jar") so the user starts the game easier.

Thanks for the advice @cpv, however I did make the jar file clickable which means that you can just double click on the game jar file and the app should run.
Thanks for the good feedback.

Nice small game you got! The art style is super cool and I like the fluid animations.

Additionally, I love that Start Screen Music! You should have kept that ingame too!

Was not able to play with 2 players. But in single-player the platforms are kinda pointless. Would have been more meaning full with special moves/skills. Like for example you need to jump on a platform to avoid a powerful dash from the enemy. Think street fighter combat but with platforms!

Still a great entry. Thumbs up!

Nice looking and like the concept even though it seems like you can just stand and spam controll and win every fight thrown at you.

Good use of 3D animation but the combat was easily cheesed by spamming punch as there was no block and it did need a little more visual polish.
