Beatdown Dungeon

Really love the game. I made a video you can visit

this game rules. kinda has a newgrounds vibe wish i dont mind, you should make the next one pwyw at least. this feels like stealing.

This game simply does not work for me. i am trying to use my ps4 controller, and not only is the character constantly moving right. but left and right control is on the right thumbstick. meanwhile up is right on the d-pad and down is left on the d-pad. to start with X has been cancel where O is the accept button.

how do i block on pc?

Hey man, I really enjoy this game and have been playing it non-stop since I downloaded it. Love the idea of combining dungeon crawlers and fighting games, it's more interesting than playing the usual arcade mode. Character design is also fantastic. I see you're making a sequel and after watching its trailer I feel very satisfied. Smoother combat is all I expected. Great job, man! Keep up the good work! 

This game has a great concept, design, and humor. However, there are quite a number of issues that were present in this game. First lets start with the pros!!!! The graphics look very nice and I enjoy the dungeon style crawling of this game. I also like the queen's witty jokes and she is very funny and has an adorable design. I laughed a bit at most of the humor in the game and I thought it was cheesy but in a good way rather than an annoying one. However, the amount of cons in this game is like a tumor to the good things. Lets start with the smallest problem I found, which is the exclamation points. Dungeon crawling is kind of supposed to be random in a sense and this kind of undermines the whole purpose of it. However, this is something that doesnt completely destroy the game. The next problem is that some rooms are literally just filler spaces. Once again, this problem isnt really a major one. The next problem was that it seems some enemies seem to do some infinite combo changes and the game tells me nothing about blocking or anything like that so im just running around like a headless chicken in the middle of the forest. This game sort of heats up my laptop to unholy temperatures as well. Lastly the biggest problem is that if the your helper dies, YOU FAIL THE DUNGEON!!!! WTF kind of reasoning is this? I understand if the game ends because your main character dies because that could be the theme or something. But if your helper dies? This just ends up making it undoubtedly infuriating to me. This is a mechanic that needs to be fixed immediately. Overall, I would rate this game a 4/10 where this is a type of raing either reserved for boring games, or for games with interesting mechanics but pretty bad execution. Also, the button controls where it says button5 and button4 or some things like that make 0 sense and I cant seem to change it at all to my liking. This game has potential but just turned out to be disappointing. I hope that you can fix these issues in your sequel and I believe that you can make something extremely fantastic with minimal problems. The heart is there, it just needs quite a bit of fixing. Have a nice day!

Almost every a character in this game has an infinite, for those who didnt know!

Nitro: ABC 6A ABC 6A...
Satoshi: ABC 6A ABC 6A corner only
Alisa: she has one but IDK inputs
Marv: 2A 2A 2A in corner
Shrley: A B 6A special A b 6A Special (no ghosts)

I love the game. I'm looking forward to the sequel! Keep up the good work man!!

BEATDOWN DUNGEON IS THE MOST UNDERRATED THING IN THE UNIVERSE

I was practicing with queen but something weeeeird happened.I was going to use my super and then suddenly background turned white(her eyes were white too), queen's wings were getting bigger.She did 408500 damage.WHAT WAS THAT I T^T.

the game looks so good, great work, :D

OMGosh this story tho XD

I'm wondering if it is just me, but does anyone have a problem of the game continuously inputting the right command?  Makes it a bit hard to play, but like I said, might just be me.

This game still has crazy combos. The more I find, the more they leave the realm of practicality. Satoshi has crazy extensions to what has already been found, nothing really new. Shirley and Marv however surprise me with their combo potential for example:

Shirley(Any, Tofuman): https://gfycat.com/spectacularserpentineamericanavocet

"2C - 5D - 5Y - airdash j.5B - 5C - 6A - jc j.(5C - 5D)"

Comment: This combo is nearly impossible to do in real time anywhere near consistently so I just did this in slow motion and sped it up for viewing pleasure

PSS: Make sure to middle click the link

Shirley(Any, Gigli): https://gfycat.com/coarsesameislandwhistler

"5A - 5B - 5C - 6A - jc j.(5C - 5Y[2]) - 5B - 5C - 5D[2] - 5B - 5C - 6A - 2C - 5D"

Comment: This one is also slowed down because I could not execute, but I sped it up for viewing pleasure it's great eye candy

Shirley has been slept on combo wise, she deserves this.

will there ever be an competitive online mode? also loved the game uwu

hello, i have a suggestion.

i noticed you implemented a "reserve partner" system where you can switch to a second character inside of the dungeon.

however, when i lose a fight with either characters, i get a Game Over which kinda undermines the whole purpose of having an extra character in your party.

I wanted to suggest a "Two Strikes and You are Out" system where you can lose a fight with one of the characters in your party and continue to explore the dungeon with the OTHER character as long as you don't lose a fight with him.

that would not only make it easier to go through the later dungeons but also encourage players to level up the reserve character and learn how to use them so that they aren't caught off guard when their "main" loses a fight.

Downloaded it yesterday. Just beaten Noob Dungeon. Solid concept,

very excited to see more of it :)

Masterpiece! Queen is my favorite character uwu

Also i want to listen soundtracks.Can you upload soundtracks to youtube?

I enjoyed the game, the story and controls are enjoyable to me.

i was trying to play this game with a friend via Parsec, but my Xbox controller keep going right for some reason, and that makes the game a little annoying to play. 

yes please.

Camji's Combo Challenge:

Wanna see if you're really good at this game, try these, but first notation.

Basic Buttons:

• A - Light Attack
• B - Medium Attack
• C - Heavy Attack
• D - Special Attack
• X - Mana Move
• Y - Assist

Special Actions:

• X[Z] - Make Sure X hits Z times before canceling
  • 5A[2] - Make Sure 5A hits 2 times before canceling

• {X}xN - You can repeat X infinitely
  • {5A - 5B}xN - You can repeat the "5A - 5B" chain infinitely

• j.(X) - You will have to perform X in the air 
  • j.(5A - 5B) - You will have to perform the "5A - 5B" in the air
  • Special note: The closing bracket ")" signifies that you land, so once you see this j.(5A - 5B) - 9 - j.(5A - 5B), That means you have to jump twiceC

Character notation:

Character(Badge, Support)

Satoshi(Anything, Anything):

"5A - 5B - 5C[2] - 6A - 5D - jc {9 - j.(5A - 5D)}xN - 5A - 5B - 6A - 6D - 2D"

Alisa(Anything, Gigli):
"5AB - 9 -  j.(5B - 5C - 5Y) - 9 - j.(5A - 5B -- 5A - 5B) - 5A - 5B - 5C - 6A - 5D -- 9 - j.(5A - 5B -- 5A - 5B) - 5A - 5B - 5C - 6A - 5D -- 9 - j.(5A - 5B -- 5A - 5B) - 5A - 5B - 5C - 6A - 5Y - 9 - j.(5A - 5B -- 5A - 5B) - 5A - 5B - 5C - 6A - 5X"

I'd just like to see more an emphasis on training mode to help make finding optimal routes possible, here are some features I want:

CPU Manipulation 

Where you can control whether the CPU is Jumping, Standing or Crouching, and Attacking, Idle, or Blocking because I can't test any block strings right now

Meter Manipulation

Where simply control how much of your resources you have including Alisa's powers

Also configurable controls for keyboard would be nice

Back, For some new combos with characters that I'm surprised I like and an updated notation.

• 'A' - Light
• 'B' - Medium
• 'C' - Heavy
• 'D' - Special
• 'X' - Super
• 'Y' - Assist
• 'jc' - Jump Cancel
• 'J.(' - in air
• ')' - Land
• Label: Character(Badge, Support)

Shirley(Anything, Gigli):

5A - jc J.(5C - 5Y) - 5B - 5C - 6D - 2C - 5D

Notes: Summons all three ghosts in one combo. The hard timings in this combo are the "5A - jc j.5C" and the "6D - 2C" Links but this combo in general is hard but not impossible

Satoshi(Anything,Anything):

5A - 5B - 5C[2] - 6A - 5D - jc.(5A - 5D) - ...

Notes: Combo into his launcher, pretty basic and seems like Phil intended for this combo, so it's nothing really special.

Marv(Pain Chain, Gigli):

5A - 5B - 2C - 5Y - 2B - j.5D - 5X - 5X - 2B - j.(5C - 5D)

Notes: Combos from his Regular String in to his Grab with the help of Gigli. The "2C - 5Y" Link is actually pretty challenging so it will take practice to do this combo. 

My single pet peeve is the time I had to wait to get my support back 

Though I will agree that there's some stuff that can be improved in the game as a dungeon crawler(including actually giving my custom demon a victory speech for each win hahahaha), the game itself is amazing already. The characters are dynamic(though you really should add a bit of story to 'em,I was especially wondering what was up with Satoshi and Alisa), the art style is quite unique(especially the expressions of Queen when she gets hit or hits), the moves are smooth even when using keys or controllers, and the music - oh, the sweet sweet music, is friggin' banging(I especially loved Sally's theme, I'd get giddy everytime I heard it). All in all, it's a pretty great game, but can still be improved. Good job, my dude!

Also, Shirley ftw, my favorite character!

I'm interested in what happened before Queen stepped in, would there be any way to find this stuff out in-game anytime?

Another question, was Alisa designed for long and crazy combos

I finally got my thoughts together on how you could improve the dungeon crawling.

• First, get rid of the exclamation mark. Dungeon crawlers depend on you not knowing what comes next in each room, increasing the thrill of the dungeon and the joy when you see a treasure room.
• Second, make it possible to face multiple enemies in one room. That increases the challenge thus increasing the need for healing items, defines the setting better, and makes the bosses feel more special. If you do this, make sure to keep the enemy variety high. 
• Third, fill every room with something. I think empty rooms really disappoint and bore people, instead of being a sign of "I did something here" there just a sign of a barren place
• Finally, make less treasure rooms, but give them more loot. I don't think I should be able to find a chest in every other room and have that chest give me a single item, chests are made to store multiple things

I can't really find a way to end this without sounding like a demanding prick, but please consider these points if you plan on refining the dungeon crawling.

I'd like to take the time to let you know how great this game is. As an avid fighting game fanatic, I love seeing indie fighting games be released, and this one is by far my favorite! I enjoyed the style and personality Beatdown Dungeon's characters and world has, the game was as humorous as it was fun.  Seems to me like Queen's Wrekkas as inspired by  Iori from KOF, and I really digged  that!

I had a good time playing through the game as Nitro and Alisa, and best believe I'll be testing out the other characters too! I'd like to thank you, Phil, for the inspiration you've given me with your game to better my own. I can't wait to see what you'll make next.

Also, in terms of gameplay, I found a few interesting things:

Nitro can do a loop of LMH forward H  repeatedly, until he reaches the corner and it becomes tougher to do.

Alisa has similar against the AI where you can do LMH forward H, and right as the combo ends, if you press down + L, it'll almost always be a counter hit on the AI, making it easy to cheese them , unless they happen to jump a lot.

Anyways, that'll conclude my comments for now. I hope you continue on with developing.

Greetings,

I have just finished main dungeons in your game.
That was incredible!!!
I am in love with fighting games(especially Arc System Works) and this game is as fun to play as theirs. 
I was sitting in my classroom in the university and searching for something to kill time here. Then this game has wildly appeared before my eyes. My first thought was: "Well it is just indie fighting..." But how I was wrong!!! It is the best indie game period for me. Everything is on point here: battles, controls, combos, antagonist. Just going to the Training mode and try out different combination of badges and supports is very fun.

I want to give my thanks to you and I will root for you on your next project.

P.S.

Can you describe how Ice power should work? Is it possible to freeze the opponent in the middle of the combo?

And I found bug when trying to do a Mana attack as Alisa in the end of the combo: sometimes it does not work... Camera zooms in but attack does not play.
