Hello Paolo. I came across your game yesterday and I really liked the visual style and gameplay, as I wrote in the review, it reminded me of old manga about boxers or hooligans, like "hajime no Ippo", "holyland" or "fight class 3". I tried to add a new character using Stella's sprites. Is there any way I can contact you to show it?
THIS! JUST! AMAZING! I stumbled upon this game a couple of hours ago and oh my god it's so good, the aesthetics remind me of old manga and gameboy games. It's pretty simple in mechanics but can keep you hooked for quite a while. And I really liked the visual style, it would be cool to add a couple of characters. I also think it would be more convenient in the phone version to put the controls on the edges of the screen, two rectangles on the left and right, and leave the battle itself in the middle, it would be more convenient to play in single-player mode, at least.
Hello! Thank you, glad you liked it. I understand the sentiment about the controls. The current setup is due to me following the actual GameBoy screen dimensions, and last minute I decided to add touch controls so I could play it on my phone (The original design didn't include touch controls).
Currently it isn't bothering me so much since I have a Samsung Galaxy fold 4, and I play it with the inner screen and the current dimensions -- perfect for it.
It will take a while for me to rewrite everything to have that setup you mentioned. Although it's been requested quite a bit, I might just leave it as it is now, maybe add 2 or so characters, add the arcade, then call it finished. Then I'll make a sequel with better utilization of the screen when on mobile.
I do plan to update this. Right now, yes, you can spam jabs, but that won't be the case in the future. I have a wip test fix for that, actually, but I just got busy with life so I haven't gotten back to updating this game.
Holy shit, the fucking cpu is ACTUALLY in my walls, he is predicting my mooves like he's fucking Dexter!!!
Anyway, good game, very original, only problem I personally have is that I find the commands very unresponsive; I have to destroy my keybord for anything to happen, but maybe it works great on pad.
The trick is, it's not the cpu behind the walls. I'm actually behind your desktop. That's why commands are unresponsive, I pull the keyboard when I see you punching.
Kidding aside, I'll look into that. Would you mind sharing your browser version, os, and specs? Or are you playing on mobile?
I was supposed to be making dinner and this distracted me for a good 20 minutes lol. Love the art style and how simple the game play is. Would love to see more of this for sure.
Thank you. Glad to get some praise on the music. I'm not a music guy, gave it a shot, thought I did well, but realized I might just be biased. It's nice that someone took notice and liked it.

Hajime no ippo is awesome. I have not heard of holyland and fight class 3. I will check them out when I have the time.
As for you wanting to share your sprite edits, yes, you can send it to my email so I can check it out, would love to see them. My email is in the FAQs

stella for the win!!! amazing visuals, game, and music <3
THAT GIRL IS A BADDIE.
This is a really nice arcade-like fighting game. Nice work.
Incredible art direction, awesome animation, and UI. Congratulations on such an amazing creation.
I have really high hopes for this in case you intend to update it further.
Just an important feedback: I believe the way the game is right now you can win 100% of matches by spamming jabs.
Thank you for the feedback!

I don’t know if it may help, but you can take a look at framedata, and make a max “”combo” number to avoid spam.
The parry could be used to break combos if well timed.

Good game.

I use a chromebook (that's why I play browser games) so chrome OS and chrome is the browser, couldn't tell you any more though

Thank you, glad you had. Who needs dinner anyway (when there's cereals) am I right?
I enjoyed this game. I really wanted to set the music as ringtone.
This could have been a hit in the '90s. The sound, art, and gameplay are amazing. Looking forward to seeing more characters.

I'm gonna be the first one to say it in this comment section!
I wanna grind on them abs! (Stella). Yes, I'm down bad for athletic and muscular women.
I was't able to play long but game is polished but I can't beat the bot :(
Great game. Really polished, really cool menu. Keep it up!
