This game was built in two weeks for the Pirate Software game jam 16, with the theme "You are the weapon!" 

This game is a pattern / rhythm game where you must block a series of strikes from dangerous foes (random objects and creatures) with your overwhelming martial prowess (training from a mail order magazine) in order to prove you are the ultimate blocking weapon!

Each opponent will do a series of poses that show the order and timing of their attacks, when they strike you preform the correct block to stop them, survive their entire barrage to emerge victorious!

Controls:

Up : w / arrow up

Right: d / arrow right

Down: s / arrow Down

Left: a / arrow left

menu navigation is done with the mouse.

Great concept for a game! I love stuff like this and the art and characters you are fighting against really sell it. Biggest problem is I couldn't play because no matter the input I instantly lost but this game has a lot of great potential and definitely deserves a full update once the jam is over! Great job in getting a game out there!

Graphics and music are really fun but I could not get to actually fighting. The moment I pressed a key, be it before or after the fight began, I instantly lost. Same if I didn't press any key.

This might be a browser problem, bc firefox tends to mess games up.
I would have liked to play this
