Super Punchy Face
by 8points
Super Punchy Face is a roguelite beat-em-up about making your own fighting styles and using everything in the environment to outwit your opponents. This is all wrapped up in a lighthearted, slapstick, retro aesthetic.
- Dozens of techniques: No boring stat boosts, these upgrades augment the mechanics or introduce new ones to make for a unique play experience.
- Oddly ordinary weapons: No magic, no swords, no guns, no killing. All weapons are everyday objects like bottles, chairs and mops. Getting knocked down means you can get back up, but so can your enemies.
- Clever opponents: Face off with foes who match your capabilities and use the environment the same way you can. Difficulty is based around what they can do, not their stats.
- Slapstick and lighthearted: Final art will feature a spectrum of character reactions to help sell the impact and silliness of tripping over a stool, or getting smashed through a table.
- Roguelite + beat-em-up: A unique combination of combat from classic beat-em-ups like Streets of Rage with procedural design from modern roguelites like Spelunky and Nuclear Throne.
New Features
- 1 new technique (36 total) Got ideas for more? Let us know!
- Walls don't hide enemies
- Hitting blocking enemies into a wall hard enough breaks their guard
- Player gets knocked down when hit hard enough
Balance Changes
- Reduced thrown mop damage
- Mantis Strike does more damage, shorter hit stun penalty
- Sturdy Weapons now applies to furniture
- Tried to make kicks easier to land by making the hitbox longer and moving the rotation point up so its more in line with the leg in the sprite.
- Gave all furniture bigger hitboxes
Bug Fixes
- Quitting from the pause menu actually ends the run
- Thrown objects don't bounce off knocked down enemies
- Black suit enemies no longer bleed forever on a crit
- Maybe fixed the bug where enemies get caught in a hit loop when piled up
-The speed for dodging diagonally with mouse n keyboard matches the horizontal speed
- Wall Flip actually works
- Sticky Fingers actually works
Alternate Version
-Bizarro Punchy
- Doesn't use stamina, has some other shit goin on.
- Grapple Throw (technique)
- New Arrtt
- Original sountrack
- Final Boss
- More techniques

Level Design UI GraphicsYou should improve the bars that respond for stanima and health (And also would like that there would be an graphic or text that says that "Hey this task bar responds for health" or something like that). Also would like to controls to be represented somewhere (like in the lower right conner be like "Kick = Shift or something"), because i immideatly forgot how you kick.

Thank you for the feedback! Very good suggestions.ARLTB 5 months ago
ControlsThis looks like a potentially great game but in my opinion the controls ruin everything. I absolutely hate that you have to use the mouse in order to change the direction you face and to punch and block. It feels so awkward. Plus you also have to use space and shift. I don't understand why you would make us use controls that are all so far apart. Which hand am I supposed to use for which keys and buttons? You seriously need to plan the controls a lot more carefully If you ask me.
But it doesn't actually look like anyone else has a problem with it so I don't know. Maybe I'm just not the type of person who likes or understand these key combinations

Thank you so much for playing!Yeah, these controls are ripped from fps games so if you're not used to them it's probably really weird. If you have a gamepad of any kind I would recommend trying that out. You can also customize the control scheme by going to the bulletin board. But I could probably come up with a way to drop mouse controls entirely...

Oh. I don't even know what a gamepad is. I'll look it upARLTB 5 months ago
Oh it's just like a regular type of game controller or something. I actually do have one of those. Sorry for my last too comments that don't actually have much to do with your game. But I'm done talking now

Haha no worries. Let me know if the controller works for you!ARLTB 5 months ago
Yes it works well. Thanks.vladyslu 5 months ago
AnimationHey. I just played your game. I love it. I love animations and arts. However, I had some issues. When I pressed shift too many times, the game crashed. Also, It told me to use controller buttons in tutorials sometimes. I did not connect any controllers at that moment. I recorded how I played your game on the video. You can check it below. If you want me to delete the video, let me know. However, if you like the video, I make videos for such developers like you every day. I will be happy if you subscribe. I would love to make another video with your games in the future if you are fine with the idea. I subscribed to your itch.io page so that I will be notified.

Thanks! We'll be working on the sound effects next, had the same ones in there for like 6 years lolzestyzac 2 months ago
Animation Story/Writing/DialogueI think the art style and animations are what I find most attractive about this game. Although weapons are simple and limited the animations are very satisfying. I think if you added a whole bunch of different punches or karate kicks that would improve the replayability, not that it's much of an issue anyway. This really reminds me of the Binding of Isaac which is a good thing, it has a similar combat system and satisfaction when completing levels. Overall a very good game and quite well polished!

Thank you so much!!! I'm glad you enjoyed it even in this fairly early stage. That Isaac comparison is high praise in my book. We do intend to add more types of attack animations, not mention dozens more weapons, so its good to hear the few we have now are satisfying.Could you tell me a bit about what you dont like about the story/writing/dialogue? Definitely looking to improve on that too!
