Marv & Jayne Update
[ 2025-04-03 15:30:11 CET ] [ Original post ]
For much of the early access period we have been overhauling the in-game character sprites with hand drawn art. This patch marks an important milestone, as we have now upgraded almost all sketch-quality character sprites to finished quality, and we can shift our efforts to elements like backgrounds, endings, and final polish.
New Sprites for Marv, Jayne & Nils!
- Marv and Jayne's animations are now in full color. A few animations are likely to get improvements, such as his air throw.
- Nils, an in-development charge character, now has finished quality sprites as well. You can fight him at the end of Nick's arcade mode, or if you want to help test out Nils, join the Mega Knockdown discord for details: https://discord.gg/WDPduQM8Eh
- The game now uses the Steam Timeline API to mark up your Steam Game Recordings (such as the one that appears in your Post-Game Summary). A label now indicates the start of each match so that you can more easily clip out highlights and share them with your friends.
- Facepunch.Steamworks has been updated to the newest release version (2.4.1) to interface with this new Steam feature.
- Paulcano now has the same hitstop on P1/P2 side. Nils Void Cutter now has the same hitstop as Paulcano, including the combo version.
- Fixed an issue where the wrong "delay" sprite would sometimes appear after whiffing an air throw that moves forward 1 space vs a blocking character
- Mega Knockdown is now playable on Mac, but more testing is needed before we can say it is officially supported.

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.
