Smashdown
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Smashdown is a time-attack platform fighter that takes inspiration from the Super Smash Bros. series, Bopl Battle, and Rounds to create a chaotic, fast-paced back-and-forth between the player and their cubic competitors. Here are the basic actions:
---
Dash: Fling yourself forward at high speed to recover, boost a projectile, or bump a competitor
Grenade: Throw this at an opponent to send them sky-high (or send yourself sky-high, occasionally)
Sword: Attack at close range to launch an enemy, return a projectile, or parry an attack (I promise explosions are attacks ;] )

First of all, the AI enemies are really cool. The movement and combat is really hard to control, but the game overall is really awesome!
Thank you so much! Yeah, I got very sucked into making the enemy AI here, it was super fun to improve them. the control system is a bit thrown-together and out there, and I think It's dangerously close to rage game levels of difficult to control T^T
