Version 0.842 UpdatePatch 0.842:
Gameplay
- Lewis' PileDebunker can now hit jumping opponents at its maximum range.
- If both players block, the input buffer is cleared. This should help prevent unintentionally buffered inputs from carrying over to the next turn.
Presentation
- New sounds added for Flatskin's plant.
- There are now two different icons for the "delayed" state. If an attack is very "minus," a clock with a double outline is shown. If an attack is just a little bit "minus" or "plus," the existing clock is shown. This should make it easier for advanced players to quickly identify the correct amount of 'frame advantage' in a given situation.
User Interface
- If you activate the difficulty slider sub menu in the Arcade menu, you can now get out of it without pressing the 'cancel' button, simply by mousing over another menu item or pressing Left. This behavior should be more intuitive than before.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed a rare, but troublesome issue where Lewis' Back + A was causing the match to lock up when interacting with certain moves.
- Patched an issue where some anti-air moves that knock down would sometimes cause a jumping animation to repeat.
[ 2022-08-25 05:35:59 CET ] [ Original post ] The 2D Fighting Game With a Twist: It's Turn-Based!

Mega Knockdown's
simultaneous turn-based gameplay system makes it a
unique, beginner-friendly fighting game experience that is easy to learn, but hard to master.
Fighting game veterans and newbies alike can jump right in to advanced level mindgames without spending a lot of time learning execution or complex inputs.
Learn fighting games, or teach them to your friends!Gameplay Highlights- Simple controls with no timing requirement
- Experience classic fighting game archetypes: the fireball-throwing martial artist, the grappler, the long-limbed poke specialist, and more!
- Jockey for position and weave in and out of range of attacks. Are you a true master of fighting game footsies? Prove it!
- Get the upper hand on your opponents with a knockdown, and press the advantage with a 'meaty attack' on their wakeup!
- Enrage and astound your friends with a well placed 'tick throw'!
- Express yourself! Do you carefully block and punish your way to victory, or do you assert dominance with a wild and aggressive gameplan?
How does it work?
Each turn, players choose a combat action and a movement action in secret. Then, both players' actions resolve simultaneously over the course of a few seconds. Predicting the opponent's actions and choosing the right counterplay is the key to victory.
The basic actions are
attacks,
blocks and
throws:

- Attacks can beat out other moves through superior range or speed. Some attacks also knock players down, restricting that player's movement and slowing their attacks next turn. This emulates the "wakeup game" seen in most fighting games.
- Blocking prevents damage from attacks, and usually puts the defender at an advantage next turn, or grants a free counter-attack ("punish") against the opponent.
- Throws can break an opponent's guard, but have short range.
The game's six characters also have unique special moves which change how they play the game.
