How does the game fit the theme?
In this game you can risk it by going for a parry, if you succeed you instantly win the round, if you fail you instantly lose the round
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
The art assets were provided to me by Drasnus of First Cut: Samurai Duel (I created the UI assets)
I found sound assets on Pixabay

Nice and pleasing art style! I would love if the combat was just a bit more intuitive, since it was a bit hard to tell whether I was doing something correctly or not sometimes. Good job overall though, good luck :)
Very impressive design and gameplay! There's something very rewarding about landing a perfectly timed parry!
Love the style! I love parrying in other games like Valheim and Witcher 3. I can see the concept being expanded into a game called Parry Knight where the hero can only parry :D Great choice of art and sound effects. Good job!
The theme looks nice, and the gameplay mechanics are fun! I really like that you took the time to add multiplayer to this game. A cool little jam game that could have potential beyond the jam, imo!
I love this pixel art! well done mate! also gameplay is very fun
OMG! Bushido Blade but 2D!!! I'm always impressed by designs that reduce a complex concept to its bare bones. The game gave me the feel of yomi, footsies, and just a constant sense of risk assessment. I can definitely see a bigger version of this with more characters and a story line.
Congrats!
Nice mechanics, have some fun with that.
Super impressive sprite and animation work.
Looks and plays like an absolute charm. A bit more enviromental detail could elevate this greatly.
Would have loved to have the opportunity to play this against an actual human. Cudos for getting a solid AI going though.
I suck at fighting games, but it was nice to see my opponent commit suicide :D
The game's animations are really good, especially the finishing moves! It reminded me of classics like Mortal Kombat! Congratulations!
I don't know if this is a bug or if I'm just not playing properly, but when I hold down the right mouse button to parry, my opponent cuts my head off.
For example: as soon as the round starts, I hold down the right mouse button to parry. He comes walking and one-shots me.
Hey! The idea with my game is that you're meant to parry the windup of the opponents attack (similar to games like darksouls) to instakill them and if you miss the parry, you're the one that dies instead, so you choose whether or not to risk an instakill on the opponent for an instakill on yourself.
OK this is actually a really cool fighting game, has a divekick level of simplicity. if it had controller support I could see this being played at parties. Well done!
Really cool game with excellent pixel art! The blocking sound effect while moving back is really satisfying. The animations were also great.
~ 10/10 would watch my opponent melt into blood after they commit seppuku again, lol 😁
Feel free to check out our game as well if you get the chance!
Fun game, but single-player mode gets a little repetitive as all you have to is just spam left click and dash backwards.
But other than that, it's a cool game and I love myself some pixel-art, so bonus points from me :)
Fun game with a simple concept. I enjoyed trying to make the enemy one shot themselves, and we even simultaneously failed parries a couple times haha
Did not expect this type of game, but enjoyed nonetheless
nice work
Really nice game well done! I loved the simple backdrop just all about the combat made it a very engaging fight. The deaths are so brutal and graphic too haha
Cool Animations! The instakill is to tempting to be honest! The back dash is very useful!
Well done!
The death animations are great!
Reminds me of the a similar game I played awhile back, really enjoyed it
