Soul Fightas - Reborn

Soul Fightas - Reborn is a cute pixel-art platform-fighter game.

It combines classic fighting game combos and directional defense strategy together with satisfying platformer movement mechanics.

Up to 4 players can fight together in the arena, either in local play or LAN using rollback netcode technology.

Playable with controllers or the keyboard (use spacebar on the main menu to register a keyboard player and setup controls).

Alpha (stable - testing) is out !

Win condition : throw your opponent(s) off-screen !

Game mechanics :

• Jumps ! The longer you press the jump button, the higher you will jump. You can jump once in the air (double jump), and jump as many times as you want on the walls (walljumps) by holding the joystick against the wall.

• Gravity Reset ! Use this button to stay a little longer in the air ! Can be used as many times as you want (note that you can't stay in the air indefinitely).

• Air Dash ! In the air, you can dash in any direction. Just hold the desired direction and press the dash button. This can be useful to travel large distance without worrying about gravity, or recover from a fall ! You can air dash only once per aerial phase.

• Combo attacks ! Deal damage to your opponents efficiently by making combos with light attacks. Those aren't meant to kill and don't scale with the damage dealt. They have fast startup and low recovery, hence hardly punishable.

Tip : you can use the screen bounds and the walls to make the opponent bounce and extend your combos ! The screen's bounds bounce if your opponent's damage bar is NOT full (white) and the knockdown is not too high.

• Finisher attacks ! Heavy attacks are meant to kill the opponent earlier than expected. They are hard to land as they cancel you momentum, have a slow startup, and a long recovery time. They can only be used while airborne, and once per aerial phase. Heavy attacks deal a little more damage than light attacks, but can hardly be used to combo the opponent. However, their knockback scales with the damage your opponent received, and they kill extremely early. Use them with care !

• The bar of the corresponding color represents the damage dealt to each player. The more damage you take, the stronger the knockdown will be if you get hit by a heavy attack. If the bar is full and turns white, the screen's bounds won't make you bounce anymore and will break if you get thrown at them, even with light attacks !

Damage bar. the rectangles on the bottom left indicates how many stocks are remaining.

Full damage bar.

• Directional Parries ! You can cancel the knockback and damage of an attack by holding the opposite direction and pressing the parry button. Parrying will stun the opponent for a while and give you a free combo opportunity, giving back your double jump and air dash if you had used them already.

You can also cancel your knockback when hitting a surface by parrying against it. This is called a wall parry or a tech.

Hope you will enjoy the ride !
