Reapers is a fighting game made in TypeScript for the js13kGames 2022 competition. The main goal is to create a game in less than 13KB! The theme for this year was "death".
Go to karjona.github.io/reapers/ to play the game!
If you want to play the game with additional assets that couldn't fit in the 13KB limit, go to itch.io!
On the green fields near Mount Serrat, two otherworldly entities, Omiquiel, the devourer of souls, and Nomiquiel, the bestower of breath, come together once every thousand years to fight for the dominion of the living realms.
In a battle known as The Tournament of Destiny, they fight...
This 2D fighting game is based on fighting game fundamentals known as footsies or neutral game. I wanted to recreate some of the handled fighting games of old, like Street Fighter on the Game Boy or the SNK titles for Neo Geo Pocket!
Due to the size limit, the game's scope is minimal: you only have one attack and a parry. The goal is to keep your opponent at bay and to avoid getting hit. The game is played in rounds, and the first player to win two rounds wins the match.
Will you bait your opponent's attack and parry it? Or will you try to get in close and land a hit? The choice is yours!
The game only has local multiplayer. You can play with a friend on the same computer or with a friend on another computer using Parsec or a similar service.
