🚀 Version 0.0.5
Batman v Superman is a real-time three.js 3D fighting game where every pixel, model and sound is made in code. Play it in your browser: https://bvs.agentiloop.ai/
✨ What's new since 0.0.4
🥋 Gameplay
- Amplify is simpler: hold block (Shift, LB or RB) while you start a special. It works on the projectile, the rising uppercut and Batman's flying kick, for the usual ¼ meter. There is no timing tap any more
- Rising uppercut is easier to throw: hold crouch + toward, then punch (C + toward, then J on keyboard; DOWN-TOWARD + Ⓧ on a pad). O still works
- Training mode lessons are updated for the new amplify and uppercut inputs
🖥️ Title screen
- Compact 2x2 FIGHT / TRAIN panel per hero at the top right, with a gamepad button hint per option. T / Y (or LB / RB) start training as Batman or Superman
- Key hints along the bottom of the title loop, ending with the build version
🦴 Animation and anatomy
- Boots: 29 cm feet with a toe joint that bends the toes at the ball, heel-strike walking, toe-off, creased vamp and throat, and a pointed V top on Superman's boots
- Planted feet lie level across the roof, and pointed feet in the air curl their toes down
- Hips and seat: the outer seat rides the pelvis, which removes fold scars when a leg lifts
🦇 The game
- Play as Batman or Superman against the CPU, best of 3, with a keyboard or a gamepad
- Punch / kick chains, specials, projectiles, rising uppercut, throws, supers, drive impact, fatal blow and finishers
- Parries, counters and punish counters, breakers, barrel rolls, sidesteps, dashes, wake-up rolls, dizzy, special cancels and amplified specials
- Power-up orbs, throwable steel drums, Batman's grapnel, battle damage, facial expressions and Krushing Blow x-ray cams
- Training mode with move lessons, and a CPU-vs-CPU auto-pilot demo
- Press Space / Start to pause and see the full move list
🎨 Every pixel from code
- Procedural heroes and city, IK, Verlet cloth capes, rubble / water / spark physics, a comic and pixel-art post pass, and Web Audio sound and score synthesized live. There are no model, image or sample files.
🖥️ Desktop apps (web-thin)
