This jam is about one of my favorite parts of fighting games: what happens after the match is over.

Whether it’s a satisfying victory pose, a brutal defeat screen, a dramatic knockout, or a memorable game over, this jam is meant to create a combat game that leaves a lasting impression once the fight ends.

Any fighting or combat-focused game is welcome. Traditional fighting games, boxing, martial arts, wrestling, sword fighting, arena fighters, or any other combat-based idea are all encouraged. The gameplay can be simple as a turn game, or a bit complex with combos and etc… thing is that your game includes a memorable post-fight or game over sequence.

As a small bonus, boxing games will have a special attention, as is a genre I don’t see many good games out there. If you’re making a boxing game, this is a chance to show good post match screens.

Rules:

Create your game during the jam period.

Any game engine is allowed.

Solo developers and teams are welcome.

Please credit any assets you didn’t create.

If you use AI-generated assets, mention it on your game page. Ai is valid, but real art is gonna be more appreciated!

Best Ending Screen

I am submitting this jam because newer fighting games dont have this kind of content anymore, and i freaking miss it!

Don’t know why they started cutting it, but everytime a fighting game match ends, i still wait to see the post fight screen just in hope of a nice conclusion, and not just a winner portrait with a phrase.

Good luck, and have fun creating!
