Hey,

we want to show some Screenshots of our just released fighting game “Haymaker”.

We are a team of 6 Students and Haymaker was a project for one of our project semesters.
We’ve worked on the game for four months and then got the chance to show it at the Gamescom and on some Indie events.
Then we were contacted by Game jam, the developer of the Gamestick, and they encouraged us to push it a lot further and release it on their Android console. So we doubled the content in 2 months besides our internships. We added two new characters with their own unique fighting moves, doubled the possible attacks and also created two new stages.
After some hold-ups with Play Jam we decided to release the game also for pc.

We learned so much about art, style, the development process of a game and how to finish a project. So here we are and we hope you enjoy it.

Please give us some feedback so that we can learn and get better for future projects.

Wow I love the art style! Your character models look great!

I found the game itself ropey though, hits don’t look like they connect, while the screen judder was a bit overwhelming. I only played a few rounds but the way Ultra’s stop the game and do guaranteed damage was very jarring compared to the role super/ultra attacks normally serve in fighters. I may be missing some of the subtleties though.

Overall I felt like the visual direction and ambiance of the game was much higher than the combat, but it’s a cool project!

Hey,

thank you for your Feedback. I’m glad you like the visual sytle, it was our main focus.
You are also right with the gameplay but we gave our best to make it as responsive as possible.
There is also indeed a way to defend yourself from an ultra attack by pressing the block button,
but there is only a short time frame where you can use it…

Thanks again,
