Version 0.912 UpdateBalance Change
- Billy's jab (A attack) is now +20 on block, up from +10.
- Billy's stomp (N+C) and drop kick (jB) are still +10, but +20 when used meaty (i.e. when the opponent blocks it on their wakeup).
- These changes are intended to improve Billy's pressure game, and will hopefully make him a more competitively viable character.
Other changes
- Fixed a visual flickering artifact that occurred after some knockdowns.
- Fixed an issue related to arrow keys and menu navigation.
- Adjusted some menus for better Steam Deck compatibility.

[ 2023-02-23 02:35:26 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.
