Really unique idea!  I enjoyed beating myself up, only criticism would be that the controls were a bit tough to get the hang of.  But other than that, really great job!

Developer

Thanks!

Took me a bit until I understood who I control and what my win condition is. But it was surprising in a nice way. Well done!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I guess I am a bit late to reply

Very unique concept! Controls had to be tuned a little, but for a jam is a great work! Congrats!!!

Submitted

Looks great! crash on space though :/

Good work!

so... if the player isn't an enemy to the enemy, why do they fight? just kidding :D

Solid contender for the best title award!!

Developer

Thank you)

Great concept! 2nd person games are really rare, I made a (very different) 2nd person game too and thought i might be the only one. I think a bit of extra polish to the menu could be nice, also every time I pressed space bar the game freezes which felt very tedious. Other than that, I think the game was really creative.

Developer

Thanks for playing! The space thing is a bug sorry for that. I'll check out your game 2nd person is indeed quite rare

Submitted

Really liked the idea, having you control the enemy on screen and not the first person character is a nice twist!  It seems like attack and pause are both bound to the same key, so I was confused why the game kept freezing.  However once I realized that I just double tapped space to attack and was able to enjoy.  Cool game!

Developer

Yeah it is a bug I added pause within the last hour and accidentally made attack button also pause the game. For some reason this doesn't always happen but sometimes it does. In the new version it is fixed but to publish that I'll have to wait until the jam is over

Great theme interpretation. Good job!

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

for me controls didn't work at all, space just paused the game (like, the game froze), and pressing space again unfreezes it. wasd or arrows didn't do anything :(

Developer

Ikr I messed up. Thanks for playing tho

Submitted

Interesting Idea, though I had an issue that sometimes when I punch, the game freezes for a second or two.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for checking it out. Yeah it's a bug sorry about that

Submitted

Interesting role reversal here, simple but very creative in the realization. Good job!
