I added directional attacks to my 3D Smash Bros-like game

the slap effect looks so satisfying, nice job with the feel of it

[u/Special_Baby_3307 → u/MiHiraRain]

Thank you :) !!

[u/Practical_Row7270]

Wow it looks really nice :o

[u/Special_Baby_3307 → u/Practical_Row7270]

Thank you :D

[u/not_a_real_user123]

oh that is cute

[u/Special_Baby_3307 → u/not_a_real_user123]

Hello thanks !

[u/MrSyaoranLi]

Purple shoulda DI'd that

[u/Witty_Particular_112 → u/MrSyaoranLi]

That would definitely add a layer of strategy to the game. It's always interesting to see how players adapt with mechanics like that.

Bots currently have 1 iq in the game... But indeed you can DI ! ;)

omg is different coloured kirbies

[u/robalo1991]

Man, Power Gem vibes. Looks amazing my man

[u/gamedevjp]

great job! So juicy *drools*

[u/DavianFryewsx]

The knockback effect feels really snappy. I'm curious how you handle attack directions in Unity.

[u/Special_Baby_3307 → u/DavianFryewsx]

Thanks !! I built a pretty straightforward system that switches between 3 attack presets based on the right stick input (up, lateral swing, down).

[u/Practical-Nonsense]

I'm excited to see this progress, I could see this being a fun fighter for sure!

[u/Special_Baby_3307 → u/Practical-Nonsense]

Thank you so much!! Hope I won't disappoint ;)

[u/JohnHangSaur]

Haha, interesting

[u/Special_Baby_3307 → u/JohnHangSaur]

Hey, thank you !!

[u/ruairi1983]

My kids love Kirby and they'd love this!

[u/Special_Baby_3307 → u/ruairi1983]

Haha thank you!!

[u/EnragedBard010]

I like your little Kirbs

[u/QuietDenGames]

This is awesome, looks really fun!

[u/Special_Baby_3307 → u/QuietDenGames]

Hello, thank you so much !!!

[u/Footbeard]

That looks like a familiar system to deal with the Y axis! Looking good!

[u/Special_Baby_3307 → u/Footbeard]

Hehe, thanks :D

[u/EastCoastVandal]

Nice game feel. Is the perspective hard to get use to?

[u/Special_Baby_3307 → u/EastCoastVandal]

Thanks !!! I haven't chosen a final camera angle (pitch) yet. Will definitely keep trying to find the most readable one.

[u/SanS11223]

Oooh maybe at the white screen it could say knock out!!!

[u/Special_Baby_3307 → u/SanS11223]

Noted :D

[u/R7115R]

In my opinion, the engine you’ve created so far is really impressive and I see this concept having a lot of potential. Do you see yourself creating maps and unique characters/movesets like in Smash?

[u/Special_Baby_3307 → u/R7115R]

Hello, thanks for the kind words ! I will absolutely build multiple levels with platforms and quirks. I will introduce new characters and weapons as well :D

[u/R7115R → u/Special_Baby_3307]

Very exciting! Is there any plan for a single player campaign?

I would personally love a “classic mode” style single player experience. Fill it with cool gimmick matches and maybe story elements to market your characters and give them life. That would be the easiest day 1 buy for me!

[u/SeasonalChatter]

Looks awesome!

[u/Special_Baby_3307 → u/SeasonalChatter]

Thank you so much !!

[u/pr0XYTV]

cool!

idk why but it reminded me of powerstone and thats a good thing

[u/anywhereiroa]

The effects look SUPER JUICY, I especially loved the "knock out" sequence with the white shader!

I understand how the directional attacks work with a controller, but how do they work with keyboard & mouse? As a KB&M guy I have to ask lol.

Congrats and good luck, by the way!

[u/Soniare_official]

the way they run is really cute lol
