Boss Stomp! by MrDave
You play as the Aztec boss off a game. Use your two hands to crush the computer player!
Press up and down alternatively to swing your arms. Build up momentum to squish the player.
Controls:
WASD – Left hand
Arrow keys – Right hand
(works on azerty keyboard)
If you download the exe file it should work with a gamepad (only tested on my cheap one) and as you can imagine that is pretty fun.
Collect coins to unlock harder levels.
If you are having problems building up momentum, hold down the W key for about a second before switching to the S for a second. Once you have the rhythm going it is easy to maintain.

I think you should wait a second or two to show the level success or failure screen. So we can see the final impact.
Definitely worth playing for the final two levels. They rock.
You should add sound, maybe tighten up the controls a little and publish this one =)
Pros:
-Innovative and addictive
-Pretty solid for a 48h game
Cons:
-Pretty hard to control both arms at the time
-Maybe a 1p & 2p option would be cool
To all the people saying about the sound, I should have recorded things on a mic but at the time I was too shy to, I regret that now
@TiByte + @madjackmcmad Sorry the page scrolls up and down with the Up/Down key, there is not much I can do. If you play it on my website I disable those keys however I cant do that on the LD site.
@voxel While you dont to extra damage with powerful hits you to knock more rings out of the npc so it is still worth doing.
It definitely plays better on the levels with more enemies, since you can pretty much flail uncontrollably and still squish thing.
Art was nice, too.
I found most of the levels easy to complete by pretty much just flailing around, which although it was hilariously fun, wasn't much of a challenge :) (except for the final level, which I can't get close to completing)
Use this script (paste into the body section of index.html):
<script>
window.addEventListener("keydown", function(e) {
// space and arrow keys
if([32, 37, 38, 39, 40].indexOf(e.keyCode) > -1) {
e.preventDefault();
}
}, false);
</script>

Norton also hates the windows version and will not let me play :(
I changed the hosting website so it shouldn’t scroll down the page when you use the arrow keys, I hope that didn’t give too many people a bad experience because I understand it would make the game pretty unplayable like that.
It's a great compo entry !
