I liked this! At first I was worried the role of ref would be too passive, but it was really cool that I had to pay attention to telegraphs and react just like in Punch Out, but with a distinct twist! Animations (and hence telegraphs) are smooth and consistent, too! 

Definitely took a little while to get used to, but this is a cool concept. Good stuff!

Very creative concept for the game! As someone with no knowledge of boxing, I think some indication of what moves were illegal in the start would have been good, but after some trial and error I was able to figure it out. If there were more moves to keep track of though, I definitely would have had some trouble. Overall I thought this was a very clever take on the theme and a very well-made game for 48 hours! Great work!

Very underrated game, the animations were very high quality which made reading the telegraphs enjoyable. Well done!

That was a pretty clever idea! It's very easy to fall into just "play as the enemy" given the jams theme, but playing as the referee was very interesting!

The idea of calling out illegal moves AFTER they hit is great! Has some kind of risk-reward thing to it in which, even if you know the attack is coming, have to be careful to not call it out beforehand.

I guess the only thing I can suggest is adding more types of attacks to call out. Maybe having one which telegraph looks similar to a legal attack to make the player pay more attention to not call out legal attacks could be a good idea.

The animations were soooo smoth, loved them!

Overall a pretty fun experience. Thanks for sharing!
