Turn the Fight

“Turn the Fight” combines the game genres “Turn-Based Game” and “Beat’em Up / Fighting Game”.

Gameplay

In this game, two players are fighting each other by alternately performing randomly generated button/key-combos. When combos are successfully performed, the executing player pushes the other one back. Once a player is pushed to the edge of the fighting-platform, the attacking player gets the opportunity to perform a hard (long) finisher-combo. If succeeded, the player wins. Otherwise, the other player can counter with a slightly easier (shorter) combo to turn the tide and get back into the game.

Features

• The game supports up to two players
• Keyboard and Gamepad (X Box) inputs can be used
• You can fight against an CPU (or even let two CPUs fight against each other)

Technical Details

! ! ! EDIT ! ! !

We uploaded version 2 builds (V2 files) of the game where we now show the mouse cursor in the menus, as we solved a bug which would occur when highlighting a menu button with the cursor.

As we don't want to override our initial game entry for Ludum Date 41, the old versions are still available.
