Online Lobbies now in open beta
Right-click Mega Knockdown in your library and click Properties
Navigate to the Betas tab. Select the Online Lobbies Beta Test beta.
Launch the game. Navigate to the Globe icon and select it.
You can now create a room, or join an open room. Pinging the @Netplay role in Discord can help you find an opponent if you have a lobby open and are waiting for a match.

I strongly recommend joining the discord if you want to play online: https://discord.com/invite/bGVftKK. This will make finding and organizing online matches much easier.

Update 11/1: Beta has ended! Online will be coming soon to the main branch.
Since launch, I have been working on an online lobby system to allow players to play online multiplayer without relying on Steam Remote Play or Parsec. I'm pleased to report that it is now available for a public test. To play this beta, follow these instructions:

- Mid-match lobby joining.

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.
