Crowd Control
Objective: Keep the crowd alive
You may be the best there is, but the audience isn't here to see a blowout. They want a gripping fight between two rivals, biting and clawing their way for the advantage. They want an underdog story!
Controls
- WASD and Arrow Keys to move your fists
Tips and Tricks
- After every knockdown, an amount of "excitement" is added or subtracted from the audience
- The longer you wait between knockdowns, the more excited the crowd will be when the next one comes
- The bigger the gap between your scores, the more boring it is for the crowd
- If a boxer gets knocked down 3 times in a single round, the match ends
Art Credits
- 90% of the Art by overcrafted
- Boxing Glove by Raga2D
- Menu Boxing Ring by waffen1
- Silkscreen Font by Jason Kottke

Hi again! Like we discussed on discord I'll be playing Crowd Control tomorrow on stream along with several other games from the Mini Jam #72 at 3:30pm EST. Hope to see you there! :D
I like the idea that you have to pace yourself and not knockdown your opponent straight away to entertain the audience, it's a cool subversion of expectation, and was fun to play. I noticed though when the game was over it just continued playing, and I couldn't navigate back to the menu.
Thanks so much for playing! That game over bug seems to be a recurring issue, hopefully I can get a fix in for it soon.
Pretty cool game. The idea is cool and unusual. The graphics are good. The attack system is good, but needs improvement.
There is a bug that when you lose, you can still attack, and you are attacked the enemy.
Overall in 3 days, this is a very well done job
Thanks for playing! Credits for the graphics mostly go to overcrafted. They had the perfect art assets for what I had in mind! Anything specific I should look to work on for the attack system?
Really fun and call game although i only managed to keep 26crowd alive and 0enjoyment level it would mean a lot if you would check out my game LEALERS once again a really cool game
Thanks for playing!
