I like how you added in the sound effects to make it really feel like Batman. Fighting and moving seemed kind of clunky and felt slow, but nice game.

great spoof! really fun vibes :)
the fighting mechs are kinda clunky and the headbutt animation is a fun idea but looks too much like he's getting hit in the gut so it was a bit confusing at first.
still if was pretty fun to play, great job!

I was very much looking forward to trying this entry! Very good interpretation of the theme. You made it look and feel pretty much like the show! Great job!

The artstyle and sound effects are really great, I love the retro feel in this game.

Definitely the entry that gave me the biggest smile so far :D

Developer

:D that's the biggest target of the game: give smiles to people! Thanks a lot!

I definitely feel like I'm in a campy Adam West era Bat...er... Fatman episode. Love the art and sound effects! I did find myself getting rather frustrated at times with the fighting mechanics, but overall had a good time with this one. Great job!

Developer

Thank you very much!!

Simple and addictive. Sound effects make the hits feel amazing. Great job!

Developer

Thanks a lot!!

Nice pixel art and retro sound effects. The styling on the text does not match up with the pixel art though.  There doesn't seem to be a way to win (I guess that makes it endless?). Can't really get the feel of the fighting mechanics as it seems that the enemies have their way more often than not.

Developer

Thanks so much! Your suggestions are very appreciated and yes, the game is endless :)

Excellent Art in this game.

love the game and the 80s feeling (I think this is an honest opinion but I'm also a personal friend of the author)

Developer

No :) the game is endless

Is there a way to win this game?
