Just based on what I've seen, the number one feature I want to see added is move preview. When I hover over a card, I want to see what the action my character will take played out in front of me.
Super cool proof-of-concept! Easy to understand, I got the hang of it real quick. One way you could solve the issue of what happens when the pause occurs while you're in the air is to add aerial moves that are only available in that situation. As someone who plays a lot of Smash Bros, one potential issue I could foresee would be that you would need a very large library of possible moves, or else the game would become easy to predict, and two skilled players would just be able to play perfectly, resulting in either a draw, or one player winning as a result of the turn order. Maybe moves could sometimes be cancelable, to add variety and reduce predictability.
Hey Jabril, I played it on the web and it seems super cool though a little buggy. I could be doing something wrong, but I wasn't able to open it on my mac. Tried it on my raspberry pi running linux and it worked fine (though it was not powerful enough to run the game), but I can't get the mac version to work.
Edit: I also noticed that doing fire literally every time is a pretty good strategy, which makes it less interesting, but overall, really great idea for game. I think with more characters and cards it could get really fun.
Certain moves are kind of broken, at least vs the AI. In general, it's a good concept, I cannot wait to see the multiplayer aspect or any new things such as better stuns or balances to attacks, also sometimes moves do 0 damage when they go through the opponet
I think it could be good to have a cooldown on certain moves, like fire, or dodge? I'm no fighting game expert, but just felt like it could be a good thing to not have some cards available every turn, akin to an ultra in a fighting game or a castleing (don't know the term in english) in chess. maybe add an special card that can be used once your life is drained to a certain percentage?
It's a pretty cool concept. I being the button-mashing person that I am did end up clicking random cards. But I as I played I got the hang of it and used my brain to strategise. It's pretty neat. I love that you included a web-gl version. Performance is spot on and runs well on almost everything.
Suggestion :
I mirror what Okizeme has to say but I haven't tested on mobile. It just needs some additions like a battle deck, Special moves, something to stun the enemies. Also, this may be a technical limitation but the players just going through each other at times does slightly take away from the experience.
Overall, love the concept. I haven't encountered any bugs so your safe for now. So thanks for the game and peace.
Thanks for the feedback Thisas. Yeah its my dream to make a serious project like this, I am a huge fan of both fighting & tactics games. But in truth I don't know how realistic it is for me to make anything more that this for the idea, only because i'd be a perfectionist & would spend 5 years on such an idea making sure every detail was spot on.
This is actually a really fun concept. It definitely has the strategy aspect you were going for. Also, has pretty impressive animations and art for something done in a week. You did a good job of picking actions that flowed well together. Superkicking an opponent away, waiting for them to charge in, then jumping and landing right as they get under you was pretty satisfying. This could have the potential to create really complex looking fights between two people who spent time planning for their moves.
Suggestions:
Fully aware this could have been a technical limitation, but I'd be interested in seeing the actions play out at a faster speed. And if not during a fight, at least during the replay. It would be interesting to watch the fight back a full speed.
Yo thanks Jarellh94. Yeah I dream about making a game like this but taking it serious just for the replays alone.
I didn't spend too much time optimizing the playback speed, but I thought it ended up at a good place, can you tell me how you experienced ultrabouters? On mobile?
I played it both downloaded on PC and on mobile. It ran really well. I didn't even realize you could play browser games full screen on mobile. (Will keep that in mind for future projects.) I DID run into an issue where my replay changed the actions of the fight and ran out of moves before finishing the fight, so I got stuck watching the replay and had to reset.
yeah, aha. about that. Because I wrote this game so quickly, the engine code is pretty sloppy, & there is some probability that the replays will desync. The solution was to store more data for the replays, but I had to move onto the next project. I apologize about that xD

Careful. You might make the next cyberpunk 😂
But in all seriousness, I'd be glad to test out any of your projects. If my potato mac can run it.
Peace ✌🏽 (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
Add combos, and how long opponet will be stun for cards
Add low/mid/high/overhead blocking, Parrying, etc. Also should add more chars with their own moveset.

Saving multiple replays.
Customized Loadouts.
Letting players rearrange cards.
