Whew, LD55 was a tough one for our team! We lucked out early on with kinart, our designer, coming up with a spin on the theme in the form of jury duty, but as a fighting game. We had ambitious plans that - as with any game jam - fell markedly short. But that's not to say we aren't proud of our efforts!

Godot build and programming by me, art by kinart, and a debut by jesslur on sound effects, with special voiceover work by guest Thomas Mueller (thanks Tom!).

You can play the game here.

The game is short and simple - and I apologize for the awful CPU opponent behavior! Additionally, I wanted to show off some of the awesome character designs that were meant for the game, but unfortunately didn't make it in due to the time constraints.

Redd and Judge Fury

The player and opponent, respectively. Redd is the starting player character. They're not excited to be summoned to jury duty, but little do they know that Judge Fury presides over a court of brawl.

Ryohei

A straight-laced lawyer who has achieved control over his ki.

Gertrude

A sword cane wielding grandmother who spent her life studying the blade.

Billie

An influencer whose high-heeled boots were made for spin kicks.

Chester

A punk with a heart of gold ready to break chains - and bones.
