"Ace" is in the name

[Kilo11]

Since Akar spilled the beans, anyone can post the next image

[Akar]

No one has guessed it yet, wtf?

You can't just move on yet

[Kilo11]

Oh. Sorry. I just now noticed that you said that Ace is in the name. I thought you had written that Ace is the name.

So this is still open. My deepest apologies to the dear boy, Akar!

[Akar]

I trust that you can punish yourself for this mistake.

"Spade" is also in the name, so.

[Septentrionalis]

Ace of Spades: Battle Builder. I guess we can move on now.

[Akar]

About time

Your turn.

edit: I am unable to rep you again, someone else will have to fill in.

[Septentrionalis]

I think you owe me three by now. Not going to shake you down for them, though

Here's an unusual pearl.

[Akar]

To be fair, it's the fault of these cheap no-reppers for not filling in for me.

I was going to cover your base there, but alas, I also cannot rep Sept at this time. I blame our All-Father, Flinn! He has the power to distribute reps as he pleases, but he is absent, and without leave at that! And as an excuse, he cited "real life"! As though he has a real life. I think we should chain him to his computer, where he belongs.

As to the game, I am clueless. Though it does look somewhat inapropes to me, and I like that

[Septentrionalis]

I just realized that the game is not very easily researchable. I found out that there are newer stickman fighting games that dominate all search engine results. I might reveal the answer sooner than regularly.

[Kilo11]

Good hint though Sept! Stick-man fighting game is something to go on, and to be honest, I did not remotely realize that's what was happening there. I thought the green guy was catching the blue guy, the latter of whom was doing a trick or something. I think in my brain this was actually parsed out as a stick-man ballet or figure skating game...

[Septentrionalis]

This is indeed a fighting game, and in some ways the best I have seen. In this game you try to judo the opponent so that they fall on something else but on their feet, but there are no premade moves at all at your disposal. Instead, you control all the joints of the stickman (hips, knees, feet) separately by keyboard and must create torque and your own moves. And as the other player is doing the same things, there are quite a few ways that things can go.

[Septentrionalis]

Okay, let's keep the game moving. I am not able to figure this out myself even if I pretend to be a naïve participant.

It is called Fight of the Sumo Hoppers. A truly innovative game but sadly not that entertaining for too long unless you have a friend to play with sharing the same keyboard. It is public domain though, so I recommend trying against the AI for a while if you are interested in out of the box thinking in game design.

Here's a review of it:



Feel free to post something!

[Septentrionalis]

Okay, I'll post something to keep the game going until one of you musters up the courage.
