This project started on 2015 and allows duels “to the death” for 1P vs CPU or 1P vs 2P with 3 different characters: Bravos, Thara & Dim Knight.

The game has got all the 16 original techniques, and every warrior has 120 different animation frames.

This game will be extended with more enemies & stages, a proper ending, etc. eventually.

The authors decline any prize in case they are chosen as winners. This game enters in the contest just for fun.
