    Ra Ra - YMM - 48 Hour Compo Entry

    It's two-player versus extreme star boxing! So grab a friend you want to punch in the face with a planet.

    Use WASD/Arrows to move through space, swinging your orbiting planets. Position your aforementioned satellites to block, jab, and uppercut your opponent in a bitter fight to the death.

    (note: there is actually zero randomness in the game's physics)

    This is really fun, there should be a single player version against an AI. :)

    Holycrap this is cool! I will try to get friends to play it. It's hard to aim your attacks so it's a bit random-feeling, but I think over time I could figure out some methods. This would be a PERFECT arcade cabinet game.

    Holy crap this is awesome! Love this, though I wish my guys travvelled slightly faster, to get cooler loops happening. Great entry!

    Best boxing game since Super Punch-Out!! .
    The non-randomness means it really is skill-based. Cool!

    I won't take account that there's no single-player (but still...)

    I like how the seemingly simple boxing mechanic is actually surprisingly deep. Great style, too.

    Nice. The graphics and music are catchy. Gameplay gets old fast though. Needs a vs AI mode.

    One of my favorites so far.

    Seems like alot of fun, i'll have to come back to it when i've got someone to play with.

    This is a lot of fun. I even played two players and solo and still had fun solo just seeing how brutal the 'punches' could get. Nice job!

    This is really fun! I love this :D

    Apr 24, 2012 @ 5:17pm

    I love it. I'm gonna play it with my brother!

    I think the characters should move faster. Other than that, this is pretty cool.

    Apr 25, 2012 @ 3:13am

    Genius! I'll have to remember to give it a real try with a friend!

    Gotta say too that this is the first game for which I just can't pick a single category to dock off any stars...

    The game does lag my computer when (I think) the planets are traveling fast and wide; the start of each match always has no lag. Also, It would have been awesome to have a single player mode, even though the fun does lie in the multiplayer aspect.

    I liked the expressions! Also, I liked how when player 1 wins, he has a sad face, almost as if to say "okay little brother, I'm kind of bored of beating you now!" as apposed to when player 2 wins and it's like "Haha I'm better than my older brother!". Did you do this on purpose?

    Pretty awesome, man!

    Great, simple idea forged into an awesome entry! If you added online multiplayer, I would play this non-stop! :D

    A nice, simple and complete concept I think. A friend and I did enjoy what time we spent with it - trying to figure out how to move the little planets and whatnot.

    Playing this against one of my roommates, getting my ass kicked, but still having lots of fun! Awesome work :D

    This is almost as out-of-the-box as the Nazis-vs-beef game. Brilliant and fun.

    Uppercut! Jab! Right cross! Way cool. :)

    This is a good one! Wish the planets moved faster though.

    Wow! Cool idea!
    I fought against myself and yellow won 10:5

    This is glorious. It feels so satisfying to get a solid hit; playing the game with a motivated friend quickly becomes a nice mind game, pleasantly anxious feelings. Great feedback when you connect.

    Oh my, the physics are beautifully scripted. Graphics, music, everything is brilliant! A+

    Gravity-based VS fighthing is an awesome idea! Really fun to play!

    Very funny, would have enjoyed a single player more, but very awesome and well made!

    I think you can start some e-sport of that game. more seriously, really neat concept, even if i lose agains myself, i kept the link to play against some friend next week

    This is really cool, there's a lot of depth to it and I feel like I could spend a lot of time playing it just since I've never seen anything quite like it gameplay-wise-- I mean, it feels like something I want to spend a lot of time with to work out all the unique subtleties to the gameplay.

    This had kind of bad performance problems on my computer, which is probably the worst macbook ever made.
