Realllllly love the theme -- I'm a new fan of wrestling and my favorite part is how CAMP it is, and this game is certainly camp to me. The characters are so dynamic and I think I am picking up on a few references to real wrestlers (I could be wrong about this -- I am a new fan after all). This kind of gameplay is a little unfamiliar to me but I could follow the rules, and I liked reading about the special attacks.

I can see the Study Hall origins of this, and I think this could become a bar game / quick board game staple. Short, fast and easy to understand matches with the dice rolls for good ol' RNG. Great setup with the wrestling theme too, the character designs and variety remind me of Tekken (probably because Tekken inspired by wrestling, but still.) Solid foundation to build on!

ABS (ALWAYS BE SELLING)I love the idea of a turn based, chance based fighting game, but unfortunately, the core gameplay loop leaves something to be desired. Love the illustrations and the bio for each fighter. I'm not sure if I'm missing something, but I couldn't find where the fighters' HP is mentioned, and the "stats:" section seems to be empty on all fighters. Furthermore, there's a playstyles section on their bio, but all fighters seem to play the same?
Overall the illustrations are good, the writing/worldbuilding is very solid, but the gameplay could definitely be expanded upon.

DegenerationHey there! Thanks for checking out the project!
Character stats, signature moves, and special moves for each character can be found on the printable character sheet booklet included with the game on the root of the folder. It should look like the screenshot posted on the main page for the game. My apologies if this wasn’t quite clear! I hope with this knowledge some of your confusion may be addressed and the core loop may make a little more sense.
Thank you for the feedback! If you have any more questions or comments feel free to reach out. The readme included with the game may also be helpful should you run into any more trouble!
