Reviews for "Beat your score"

good concept, there's a few flaws to the controls

First of all, explaining them instead of assuming everyone played RPG Maker-controlled games would've been nice.

Second, when it comes to your enemies having the same exact reach as you, there would've been a few better ways to deal with it, by either allowing more movement/less cooldown after every hit, or, might as well, let the player hit further, so it's not as frustrating having both the enemy and the player hit each other constantly, until the player gives up and allows the enemy to finish their combo.

third, allowing the player to move while jumping would totally make the jump kick more viable. jumping altogether seems pretty useless if if the player's not able to move where they want in the air. it just seems like it's there to fill the checklist of typical fighting games.

Other than that, I'm fine with everything else. I'm not usually picky since I've seen worse flash games.

Thanks a lot for the review!

Yeah, the game isn't nearly what I wanted it to be. But I don't have free time to work on it anymore, so I released it instead of canceling it.
Aproaching enemies up front can feel really weird, yeah. If you double tap the arrows to dodge and get behind them, you should have an easier time defeating them.
About the jump, originaly I wanted to have air combos. So I made the jump like a tradicional fighting game. Now you can only do a two punch combo, into an uppercut, into a jump kick.

Also, the controls are in the description, but yeah, I guess I should have added them into the game.

Thank you!

He has nice hair and glasses, but his moves are limited. The music isn't too bad. Overall not to shabby.

P.S. This game will make you hate the number 4.

elpepiii responds:

haha, you are right!
Thanks!

It's a pretty good game, but you have to run away a lot because if you throw punches at the sametime your the one who takes damage not your enemy. I feel like you should both get hit from it or they nullify each other.

elpepiii responds:

Yeah, this game relies a lot on the dodging and attacking enemies from behind.
Thanks for playing.
