City Beat
A short animation for GB Showdown 2025. A tribute to Street Fighter, a game I played a lot as a kid.
Ran out of time to really polish it, and add more fight animations as I started only 4 days before the deadline. But I had fun doing this!
Will probably work on this more after the jam as I wanted to do better backgrounds and have more animations and characters show up - sorta like an intro to a beat-em' up game.
Made all the art myself, used music from Beatscribe. You gotta press a button on the keyboard after the game starts running so that the music will play. (No clue how to make it automatic, if someone knows, please teach me how!)

At least there is some action ongoing :) And now, please, the game! :D
If only the Game Boy had a fighting game with big expressive sprites like this! I thought manga-panel-esque intro was neat too.
Really nice art style! The entrance of the two contenders was very impressive!
