was recommended this as inspiration for a pico moveset for something I'm working on, and GOD is this actually REALLY FUN i only played a general handful of the characters but i have to say nene's definitely my favorite so far I have to say I'm not the biggest fan of girlfriend having the devil wings, but this is all sick and I was almost screaming every time I saw each robot spawn in cause of all the references, ESPECIALLY when HATTY HATTINGTON appeared as a boss ???? (god i love battleblock theater) all in all, this is a great game and I can't wait to see where it goes if i had to recommend any newgrounds characters for future playables, I'd have to say Phil Eggtree from Riddle School for something particularly newgrounds-tied and well-known, or John Egbert from Homestuck for his series just crashing newgrounds once
I'm glad you liked it. Currently working on another update with a new character, rival boss, some new enemies, assist, and a new map. Stay tuned because I'll probably drop it sometime this month or early next month. We're gonna reveal who the next character will be in the trailer.
I had been waiting for this game to
play with my family for so long and it
was worth it! Hope to see a 4 player
mode soon and, of course, more iconic
newgrounds characters. I loved how
good this game is and all the love put
into it. Keep up the amazing work!
Online multiplayer is on my radar, but not planning to come out any time soon since I'm still learning how to do it properly. I might get started on an early prototype since a lot of people want to play with their friends (including me). Though it might be a peer-to-peer type of online with manual port forwarding first then I'll move it up to dedicated.
If you do want to play with friends online, I do recommend Parsec. It streams your screen to your friends and they can connect to your pc and play 'online' with you.
ok so I feel like yall are already working on adding boyfriend, but as a suggestion maybe add Tankman as a playable character. or adding a four player mode. other than that I am looking forward to more updates. because I'm exited to to see where this game goes.
I've been playing this game a lot with my arcade stick and it feels very much like something that belongs in a dedicated cabinet. It would be neat if someone could put this game and a few other NG classics in an actual arcade cabinet.
That would be really cool to see this game in an arcade cabinet and if anyone wanted to do it I would 100% be okay with it. It's also really cool to hear that people are using arcade sticks for the game. Any problems with arcade sticks? Let me know and I'll try to fix them or add more support of stuff :)
Using an arcade controller isn't too different from a gamepad aside from the lack of twin stick controls, so there isn't anything to worry about for this game.
Anyways, have you thought about doing linear platforming stages in the style of Metal Slug or Sonic? It would allow for interesting challenges like speed or no-damage runs to add more depth to the game mechanics. The paths could go up, down, left, right, or anything between for varied stage design. You can look up GMTK on YouTube if you want more inspiration.
The original plan of the game was going to have a story mode that played pretty much like a typical beat em up with a linear path (Kinda like the Scott pilgrim game). Metal Slug was also one of the inspirations and concepts that we want to make.
Unfortunately, because of time and effort for a fun little passion project, I had to cut it. I developed this game mostly for HTML5 so I can upload it on Newgrounds. HTML5 has a lot of problems so I had to make a lot of compromises mostly regarding the size and load times.
It looks like people really like this game so I'll reconsider adding something similar to that when I have more time.
I have some character ideas for you!.The game is really funny so why can't I put my ideas in it?
P-Bot:He can be a tank-type of character.He is really stronger,but have less life than the average characters.I don't think he can fit as a normal character,he can be a trophy for beating certain amount of enemies or whatever your mind can think about lol.
Samurai A'shole:His katana and his speed together are really dangerous,but that doesn't matter because he is a samurai...actually,that don't make sense.
Tankman:The though guy and the ''''captain''''.Let's be honest,this guy will appear soon in the game,I know you're thinking on it xD.His average moves can be using fists and a Uzi,but I don't know if that's too OP or idk.
Convict:Another trophy character,but with a more harder way to unlock(I guess,unlocking first S.A. and after him doing the proccedure to unlock this guy).He is too OP,so I think I will not count his mimic powers 'cuz that will break the game xD.And I don't think the artist could handle drawing Convict versions of every character,so he will be though but in the normal way:only using a knife and his fists.
Mime and Dash:Can be joke character,but think about the possibilities lmao.
Henry Stickmin:This could be impossible,but if it happens,I love to see a moveset of him using a trap from every game.
Well,if u want to add someone from the list I'm all for it :D Also good luck with the development!
Also I had a idea for a minigame mode,where u have to make some challenges to unlock characters or new scenarios.Also,if you're looking to translate the game in spanish,I will help translating it.I'm spanish lmao
this game is honestly sick!, i already have played the newgrounds version and this one, i really wanna see more of this game since its so unique and sick!, i also had some ideas i wanted to share! (i know alot of people already have done so and im sorry if its annoying to you!)
So i had an idea for a new mode, in this mode 1 player would be any of the playable characters, meanwhile the 2nd player would be able to control enemies, since enemies can die pretty quickly the 2nd player would be assigned a random enemy each time he dies, if there isnt any enemy in screen a random enemy will just pop up, he wouldnt be assigned the bosses since that would be too op, since most enemys have like 1 or 2 attacks the controls would be the same except you wouldnt be able to dodge, double jump or use a vehicle, they also woudnt be able to attack any enemies since that would just be helping the other player.
i know it would be probably really hard to add this to the game but i still just wanted to share my idea!
Thank you if you actually took the time to read this lmao
It's not a bother and I encourage these types of posts. I try my best to read everything since it helps me brainstorm more stuff.
I had a similar idea also where p1 and p2 take turns on rounds and try to score more points than the other person. The kick for this one is that the player not currently playing would be a flying thing (idk a ghost or machine thing) and can shoot, spawn enemies, or drop traps that might mess up the player currently playing.
I do like your idea also and I might experiment with both to see which clicks more.
Maybe when I release the other characters, I'll probably get my hands on a Mac by then. Try playing the web version on the original Newgrounds page while you wait.
okok i wrote an ena moveset concept because i really like her and this game and wanna see her in it !!!! hopefully its up to standard
ENA - Joel G.
Attack 1 - Abstraction - Ena attacks by swinging her arms in front of her. (idk how to describe this best but basically its like her arms are detached from her torso and they just swing from side to side in order to punch without the rest of her body having to move, kind of like if the arms were a steering wheel)
Attack 2 - Outburst - Ena performs a different attack depending on her active emotion.
If HAPPY - Ena briefly transforms into her Demon form and breathes fire, hitting multiple times and having a chance to burn enemies. This can detonate Darnell's canisters.
If SAD - Ena spews out static, dealing damage and leaving a puddle on the ground that dramatically slows enemies.
If NEUTRAL - Ena summons Phindoll and rides him forward Totsugeki-style, dealing damage.
Special - Emotional Control - Ena swaps emotions, from Happy to Sad. This slightly changes her appearance, second attack, and some properties. Each emotion lasts for a short amount of time before making her neutral again. Killing an enemy refreshes the skill, allowing emotions to be swapped prematurely. Upon spawning in, the emotion Ena will use on her first cast of this skill will be Happy.
When HAPPY - Quicker, lighter, more rapid attacks, combo strings snowball high damage.
When SAD - Slower, heavier hits, cannot double jump, attacks can make enemies vulnerable easily
Rush - The Great Runas - Moony will float down and start to accompany Ena. Every so often, Moony will go into a more humanoid form and shed her spherical shape. When this happens, she will automatically track onto the enemy with the highest HP, and begin to attack them. Her first strike leaves the enemy vulnerable. Ena can attack in tandem with Moony when this happens!
In addition to this, Ena's emotions are intensified during her Rush. Happy becomes Drunk and Sad becomes Full-Sadness, increasing Attack 2's damage and increasing the effectiveness of each emotion's positive effects.
rahhhh give us skins n costumes we can buy with coins!!! puh lease id love to use gf's other mod designs
im sure youve heard it before or its in the works , but online would be awesome...,,,
idk if its already ingame since i havent had the chance to play multiplayer (and it might be tough to balance) but i still think pvp would be fun, or some sort of competitive mode
Love how detailed this all was! You seem to have a great grasp on how we design our characters. Also love the other features you suggested. I'll be looking back on this occasionally LOL
That character design was incredibly well made. However, I can't tell you if Ena will come to the game :)
I'm very down to put skins in the game and echo stuff. Though that's a lot of work on my artist so that's all on him if he wants.
Online is on my radar but not planned anytime soon. I'm just not sure how to correctly do yet. I'll probably experiment with it but no guarantees.
Local Co-op is in the game. If you have a friend (gamepad recommended) they can press start to join or make their own keys if they are using the keyboard (the jump key to join).
No PvP planned right now. We didn't want to make Newgrounds Rumble 2 since that game was designed for PvP and might actually be a thing that's being made. (Also my code is kinda spaghetti lol)
We did want to make a story mode, but it was too much for a game we just do in our free time for fun. If a lot of people really want it, we'll consider it. For now we want to focus on adding more characters, enemies, and assists.
Pretty hard with keyboard, but the controls are the same (I dont think ima change them anytime soon, maybe one day) as other games like these. Game lived well with the hype the trailer gave. 10/10 bro :D
In the character select page player 2 can press the start button on the controller to join. If that doesn't work, click the assign controller button on the bottom right of the character select screen and check if you see a controller anywhere on screen. If you don't see a controller, the game isn't detecting your gamepad.
Been studying on how to make online games. So its not planned right now but if you want to play with friends online try using https://parsec.app/ . It streams the game to your friends anywhere.
this is so freaking fun and awesome, im nothing short of addicted .. nene's been my favorite to play so far, with darnell gf and hank in a close second
is there a discord server or something similar for the game? id love to make suggestions and such for it , this game is so cool AGAGHHHHH
I haven't made an official discord for the game right now. You can post here, the original Newgrounds page, or the youtube gameplay release trailer. We look at all of them :)

So do you plan on adding new characters? Because now i kinda want someone from eddsworld :0
yes. I'm working on one right now : )
I know there is co-op, but could online multiplayer be possible? Just a thought

Another Idea. What if (hear me out here) you add a character (or characters) from :the game:.
I love that game. I'll think about it :)
I've been playing this game a lot with my arcade stick and it feels very much like something that belongs in a dedicated cabinet. It would be neat if someone could put this game and a few other NG classics in an actual arcade cabinet.

Thanks for the reply!
When can we play here on browser because my school blocked Newgrounds from our computers and it seems like a fun game to play
The game hits a limit on the itch.io html5 upload so I can't upload the web version here :(
I'll try to see if there's a workaround in the future.
Oh ok https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
holy cow this is sooo cool

Also good luck with the development!
Thanks for the character post! I love your ideas for each character. We'll see if they come in the future :)
You're welcome buddy,always open to help this kind of cool projects!
Also I had a idea for a minigame mode,where u have to make some challenges to unlock characters or new scenarios.Also,if you're looking to translate the game in spanish,I will help translating it.I'm spanish lmao

Made a video for insane mode
Will there be a mac build soon?
Maybe when I release the other characters, I'll probably get my hands on a Mac by then. Try playing the web version on the original Newgrounds page while you wait.
Ah ok. I'm willing to wait as long as it takes for the release. No need to rush anything. Take care

Itsa funn ass game

Made a video
Just finished watching. You guys did great! Thanks for playing!
Happy you enjoyed the video and we really enjoyed playing it so thank you for making it.
Pretty hard with keyboard, but the controls are the same (I dont think ima change them anytime soon, maybe one day) as other games like these. Game lived well with the hype the trailer gave. 10/10 bro :D
I dont know how to play 2P,(if there is any) with a controller and a keyboard. could you help me?

If you don't see a controller, the game isn't detecting your gamepad.
Man, Tails, Sonic or Knuckles would be so hype in this. Also, is multiplayer coming anything soon? (Like online multiplayer)
Been studying on how to make online games. So its not planned right now but if you want to play with friends online try using https://parsec.app/ . It streams the game to your friends anywhere.
Soild Game Keep Up The Good Work (4P Multiplayer when??
Thanks! 4p not planned anytime soon, but maybe in the future :)
