Feedback on new fighting test game

Over the months, I’ve been making changes to this game and studying new techniques along the way, and after many months, I have (probably) finished the entire setup: Beat em’ Down!

It’s supposed to be the start-up for a “beat em’ up” kind of game

Here’s the experience:

One thing I see it missing is a tutorial: I have no idea how to play your game or what to do in it, so adding a tutorial would be very helpful (just dont make it one of those annoying babying tutorials, imo the best tutorials are ones that let you figure stuff out as it’s more fun and gives actual lasting memory).

I think the animations are pretty nice and smooth, so good job with that.

The building could really use some work though, and looks like it was hastily put together.

Although I really like your music selections, they don’t really fit a fighting game imo, and are mostly upbeat, “fun” music that you’d hear in a simulator or driving game. It’s a fighting game! Use fighting music! Music that’s aggressive, rough, combative. A lot of rock or metal would probably fit.

Also, for keybinds on desktop, I have to reach below my WASD finger placement to access the combat buttons, which isn’t ideal for moving and fighting at the same time (Z and X). I suggest using buttons easily accessible to WASD placement, such as Q, E, F, R, C, Shift, Ctrl, G, V, etc.

Another thing that kills many starter games imo is the need for multiplayer to even play the game. When your game falls down to 0 or 1 player, it can be really hard to start it back up if there’s nothing for 1 player to do while waiting for other players, so I think adding NPCs in your case could really fix this trap.

I forgot to tell you that there are customizable controls in settings. Just go to Menu > Settings > Keybinds

You shouldn’t have to tell me here (as a random player)! In the tutorial, you could mention that they are customizable, since most roblox games don’t have a keybind feature, so people are unlikely to even think there is a keybind feature. (also, it doesn’t look like the feature works atm, but I’m sure you can get it working)

Alright! I have worked with the game for a long time, did some decorative fixes, added a new tutorial, and more! I think that will do for now

The logo and quality can use big improvements
