Christmas Combat: seasonal characters battle it out in a classical 2D 1 vs 1 beat 'em up!

Controls: Arrow keys to move, A and S to punch, Z and X to kick, A + S for special when charged.

Each character has strengths and weaknesses.

This game marks the debut of gavD's new Versus Effect 1 on 1 fighting game engine. You cannot change the controls in Jingle Ballistics, but future VE games will have this facility.

Pretty cool game in the works

In my opinion this isn't so much a "good game" as "the start of a great game". It seems incomplete and underdeveloped. Given how few sprites were needed for each character, it seems like there should have been more. Also, the scripting could have used a little more touching up. At one point the character jumped over me, and I couldn't seem to turn around to face him again no matter what I pressed. So he continually beat me in the back, initiating one of the gayer moments in fighting game history. Still, it's a very likeable game with a very untouched theme for its genre. I'm interested to see more.

It's a good game

The problem I have is the computer is too damn good. It's just not fun for me. Maybe it's because I never was any good at fighting games, but my every attack is countered. If you're good at playing it this would be a great game.


gavD responds:

Try attacking at slightly longer range - sometimes the computer doesn't get close enough to do damage. Also try Elf - he's the fastest character and has an aerial projectile attack...

gavD responds:

We could have added more stuff, but we decided simple was best in this game.

I'd like to say...

That this game is one of the best fighters made in Flash. However... I couldn't win. Not that I'm not any good at fighting games (in fact quite the opposite), but I encountered a bug or glitch. It seems when you try to jump over your opponent and they hit you, it's nearly impossible to turn around and face them again. Just letting you know about it. Keep up the good work!


gavD responds:

Cool man, I'll try to fixX0r that in future Versus Effect driven games

gavD responds:

Some people have complained that it was too easy... Ah well!
