Version 0.926 Update
[ 2023-04-28 16:48:00 CET ] [ Original post ]
This update is intended to improve the experience of navigating menus, and should allow for more consistent controller support. Menu Navigation, UI and Mousing Improvements
- Fixed issue where clicking outside of a button in the main menu would sometimes activate that button.
- Fixed recent bug where an object was blocking raycasts to menu options near the bottom of the screen.
- Fixed an issue where clicking stuff on the main menu would play the clicking sound twice.
- In the newer menus using Unity's event system (main menu and online menus) you will more easily be able to resume keyboard/gamepad navigation after clicking away from the buttons.
- If the game launches out of focus and you click the window, we've made it harder to accidentally click a menu option.
- If you highlight something with your mouse and navigate to some other option with the keyboard/gamepad and you select something, the game will prioritize whichever button was actually pressed.
- The Discord button is back, it is now navigable with a keyboard or gamepad.
- In the rebinding menu, P2 will no longer 'forget' that they are using a gamepad the second time you open the menu. P2 will now appropriately return to the 'done' button after they are done rebinding.
- The controller you're using in menus and online or single player modes should automatically become player 1. (This change was needed because depending on your user settings and hardware, sometimes Steam creates a virtual controller for player 1, and your actual controller would get assigned to player 2.)
- You can now press L3 in the main menu to bring up a hidden debug menu to assign specific plugged in controllers to Player 1 or Player 2. For now, the goal is that you shouldn't need to use it. Smart controller assignment should 'just work.'
- Billy's stomp animation has improved line art. Later this month there will be more graphical/visual updates.

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.
