Didn't run in Win/Chrome (just a white box) and in Firefox I've just got the infinite loading bars screen? Might be me doing something horrendously wrong. Oh well--game looks great from the screenshots and I love the audio!

Fun, game. A little bit floaty but a really nice idea and well executed!

Worked for me in Firefox. It's a MUST TRY for everyone rating games. The artwork is amazing, creative and fun, specially children will love it. Music is cool, and gameplay very adequate.

Love the art style! And the AI had just the right amount of challenge without being overwhelming.

The customisation element was my favorite part of this game, it would have been great if you'd taken it further and let people design their own body parts through the use of an in game sketch pad or something. That would have been really cool, overall great entry though.

Super creative idea, and great art. I had fun getting ruined by the AI. Would probably be a lot more fun vs a friend.

Awesome entry! I liked the aesthetic, and the concept of a charades-style fighting game is really cool.

I found it quite difficult to control the characters due to the key layout (using both sets of fingers and a thumb at the same time was awkward), and it felt like the combat needed a little adjustment (sometimes it's possible to beat him just by standing in the corner and mashing G/H)

That said, the bot has very accurate and believable AI and was usually quite a challenge to beat :)

I like evrything about that except one thing - I can't beat my enemy, besides that - it's super cool!

This game is awesome. Simply put. It feels like a play with a childish fantasy. It is extremely well executed. It has customization, support to joysticks, a great mood and scenario, different aspects for your fighter depending on your selected part. Multiplayer. Definitely you guys should be proud, it feels indeed like a childish fantasy coming true. One of my personal favorites of the Ludum so far.

Perfect! This is fantastic. The computer was pretty unbeatable for me without a gamepad not being used to a keyboard but it hardly mattered. The drawings worked so well and looked so good as combinations. I thought it was really cool.

I like the general idea and I'm glad to see that there seem to be actual differences between the parts. It reminds me of an old Super Nintendo RPG called E.V.O. except that it is a fighting game. If this were a final game, I think it'd be cool to earn and unlock parts.

A lot of creativity went into this! Though, maybe my monster just sucked but I found myself getting absolutely creamed by the AI
