About

This game is inspired by a classic 90s fighting game franchise. I aimed to port as many original elements from the source game as possible within the limitations imposed by PICO-8. Some elements were left out as I reached the maximum token limit, however, I am very satisfied with the results achieved. At the end of the documentation, you will find a backlog list with some features that I may implement in future versions if there is interest.
