you need a damn preloader

Maybe you're the kind of guy that needs to wear a helmet to walk through a room safely... so I'll spare you a lashing of my tongue. There is indeed a preloader, it's the thing that says "loading".
Wow...this brings me back...
Despite the heavy feeling of nostagia for my old Backyard Wrestling days in Texas, I'll try to keep this as unbiased as I possibly can.
Graphics: Well done, and interesting charictures of the actual ICW wrestlers. Never thought a bunch of 15-year-olds could look so imposing. Just one question: Why the hell is Angeldust armed with a fish? An IRC joke? An allusion to female genetalia? Who knows?
Sound: Pretty good. All the attacking noises sounded pretty dead on, and Fate's laugh before his special was a nice touch. And Bloodhound Gang's "I hope you die?" Great song, and extremely appropriate.
Gameplay: Simple, fun, what more do you want? Though when I fought Paine against Paine, CPU Paine somehow managed to land 3 attacks with one special, extremely odd...a bug, perhaps?
Replay: 5 different fighters, 3 different difficulty levels. It'll take a while to get bored of this.
Congrats on a kickass game, Mr. Binary. May you rock on.
I like it
Good work, maybe you could do another which involves you trying to get into the WWE through ICW. Then you could fight a real hardcore fighter(mankid), instead of these wannabes.

Cool, but has some heavy faults.
While the concept of backyard wrestling always seemed really, really dumb, the game was really cool. It's got some really good style in it, but falls on a few things. On easy dificulty, no problems. But even on medium, with bane, it's a pain in the ass. One hit and your down and he keeps you down. And he can just repetedly swing his stick 'till you try to close in for an attack. It's just to the point where it's annoying, not challenging. Aside from the problems and awkward-ness I had with teh controls, the game does ok for itself.
