Well, I played it. You need to look at the games that inspired you: Double Dragon, Final Fight or whatever and ask yourself "what made those games fun?". Because it really isnt here at all.

The graphics are ok, the sound is bad, the gameplay is slow, clunky and too repetitive. The "block" key doesnt seem to help the situation at all either and the cool down on it repulsed me.

The punch combination doesnt seem to work sometimes - the uppercut should ALWAYS smash the enemy up and away, but in your game it just acts as a regular hit.

I am guessing you made the code "if enemy is hit X amount of times then make them fall over" this is wrong. You need to make each attack damage the enemy in a different way, example the kick could have made the enemy crumple down a bit (so you could grab them) The enemy only have 1 type of "getting hit" animation, it just makes it feel a bit crap.

Not enough moves. I obtained the bo-staff but again, it had no different effect on the enemy when I struck them with it (just did more damage?)

It's a great effort though (i'm just very picky about fighting games as they are my favourite genre)

The key here is: when testing it, does it feel like a chore to play? Because it did to me - you gotta find that "fun factor" it's so important for a genre like this where the gameplay can be repetitive.

Whoa! This is pretty good. But when i died on Hitler, it was not good enough to make me play it again...

I think better gfx, sfx and some really catchy music could have made this game a classic, the engine and game features were good though.

I'ts really hard, but thats just good if the game is good. I'll give it a try with a friend sometime.

Napoleon is level 3, so level 4 is level after that (see cheats above). Are you sure it was an animation bug? It isn't made very clear in the game, but you can't punch napoleon, you have to pick up the mines and throw them at him.

Actually, this was not made with MMF. It was coded from scratch in C++ with the SDL graphics library. The engine and all code is completely original.
