Fintail Gladiator - A Joust-like game with fish and small fries

« on: September 20, 2020, 06:27:32 AM »

Welcome to the world of Fintail Gladiator, where the fish battle for survival.

To win in the gauntlet, three things are required:
1. Hit the opponent with tail blade to shrink to small fry.
2. Chase the small fry and eat them before they regrow.
3. Do not get hit by the opponent's tail blade or be eaten as small fry.

Up to 2 players can play simultaneously and friendly fire can be toggled under options
(default - Friendly Fire = ON)

You may download the latest version to give a try and then give feedback. You can also look at the devlogs for past entries if you want to know how the game progressed.

The game in action:

Goal:

To develop a small scoped game that covers fundamentals of an arcade video game, with simple controls and plenty of challenges. As of now, it is a rough state that requires further polishing (opponent AI, wave management, maps, some art and sounds, etc.) Eventually, I will put a stop to development after polishing up some fundamental elements and still keep it for free. The fate and future of the project will be uncertain afterwards.

Primary target is PC (Windows, Mac, and Linux) with gamepad and keyboard support

How you can help:

Download the latest version of the game from the project page. Explore and play the game, then post feedback on this thread or my discord channel, my preferred source of gathering feedback.

New feature added: Dynamic Difficulty adjustment

I have finally implemented dynamic difficulty adjustment, Before, the game was super hard thanks to aggressive opponents. Now the difficulty curve is much smoother that beginners should have easier time with the game.

You can read more details here on the devlog:
