This game was so cool! The punchout gameplay was very tense especially with the ramping difficulty, the art is gorgeous, and I love how you all captured the emotional aspect of their fight so well.

Gorgeous art and storytelling, really got the hang of the controls quick. I love the puncout-esque system and fusing it with dialog like you did. Easily a fav of mine, I hope to see more of this style of game in the future!
The vibes here are impeccable! I love the style and use of the palette!
That was a great experience. Art is on point, storytelling is on point, music is on point, theme is respected. My personal favorite for now !
This was a great game, love the animations and the visuals. The controls are a little hard for me (not my usual game style, my reflexes suck lol), but I felt like I had good control over my character. Really liked the art style and animations, and the sound was really nice, too. Love a good 8-bit ditty. Great work!
Neat! The struggles of the heart, and the communication of the fist.
This is sooo cute i like it. But at first I thought different dialogue options gave different boosts (the heartfelt/nicer ones give health, the other stamina) turns out I was wrong but that would be a fun concept. esp if there were multiple endings involved (If there are possible alternative endings, I want a secret triangle poly ending plsplspls)
thank you so much im so glad you liked it! i agree that would be a fun concept, we were actually planning to have different endings — but unfortunately ran out of time 😭 instead we settled with just having the dialogue reveal more about their relationships. i would have loved to make different endings where you end up with the guy instead or a poly relationship like you said hehe
