Thanks @freds72 for the kind words and for the help with the polygon fill technique and optimisations! Looks so much better now (just how I imagined it).

Thanks @SNITAL for play testing the game and giving the first impressions!

Impressive feat & excellent design!!

I do hope the total lack of music/sfx is temporary as it takes away a huge part of what a fighting game is!

And I could not resist fixing the polygon gaps, your design is just too good to be distracted by visual artifacts. Reply via BBS or DM me if interested (this version also runs faster than your current line-based method).

I got a weird bug twice in one match with the slow-mo effect.

It's ether the slow-mo time getting stuck in game after a hit (stayed for like a good 6-8 seconds after non lethal hits) or on the left edge of the first stage there is a performance issue. (the enemy was sweating, not me, so it should't be that either).

Impressive feat nonetheless, can't wait for some SFX to spice it up!

Uploaded an improved version.
Thanks @freds72 for the kind words and for the help with the polygon fill technique and optimisations! Looks so much better now (just how I imagined it).

@Achie72 Thanks for noticing it and for the nice words! Will look into it, and will also try to add sounds!

My mind is completely blown. I will have to dig into this to see how you packed all this into a P8 cart.

Damn, this is amazing work. Both technically and in the animation.

@Mosthumble09 Glad you like it! For the more readable version of the code check my github, HIT8OX.lua

This is absolutely bananas. I am fascinated by a brain that sees Pico-8 and thinks, "One-hundred-and-twenty-eight pixels, sixteen colors, severe memory and code size restrictions, running a pared-down subset of Lua? Finally, the perfect platform for the Virtua Fighter clone I've always wanted to make."

Amazing! Even the screen shake is balanced so the strikes feel like they're making contact without being distracting.

Ok, so making a 3D fighting game for Pico-8 is seriously impressive! Hope an update with some sound effects will come at some point.
