distills fighting games down to their absolute basics. great mind games, best competitive game i've played since nidhogg.

Pure mind games. Every aspect of the game maximizes the amount of trickery, deceit and figuring out the insides of your opponent. Like a fighting game distilled to a core of the battle between 2 minds. The fight is direct, there are no obstacles in-between, no cover to hide, just you and your opponent face to face, the duel taking place inside your heads. It's best to play this game with a good amount of different people, perfect for tournaments, game nights, LAN parties, local multiplayer gatherings or even board game events! Because the matches are short and interesting to watch, as long as you keep changing the players up, nobody will get bored if they like mind games (if they don't, then again: it's pretty fun to watch close matches). It can both be played casually and competitively, too. There's not that much to learn about the game for it to be competitive, anyone can pick it up really quickly, really, you can invite anyone to play, quickly explain it and 5 minutes later, they beat you (true story). The real competitive part is that of how attentive a player is, you need to concentrate into your opponent's actions to play really well, there's no real skill cap, you just have to be better at it than your opponent. (note that reaction plays a very trivial role here, it's not a reflex game) A tournament was actually the way I discovered this brilliant game. This can still effectively be played with one friend over and over again or even singleplayer, too! If you're into this sort of stuff, the AI poses a good challenge and often feels like a real person but nothing beats playing this with your opponent sitting right next to you and hearing them furiously control the sticks and click the buttons while the real fight is in your minds, trying to figure out your opponent and outsmart them, real-time. Note that the game has no online multiplayer but this is to be expected: it has to be real-time without any latency and, in this game, feeling your enemy right next to you is magical. Controllers highly recommended, if you have custom controllers (not xbox), it will be hard to setup but it's definitely doable and I hope to soon make a guide on how to do just that. My only real complaint is that some color themes are not very clear (there is also a random colors theme for some reason) and one of my friends disapproved of the visual style completely. My other complaint is that I don't have many friends :( Just be sure that you will like playing mind games with your friends, there isn't much content here and all of it revolves around this "fast paced mind-reading competition".

BOTOLO

This game is the essence of versus fighting at its core. Pacing, distance, anticipation. The gameplay as well and the art direction is so pure and build so much tension, you may need a massage to relax after a game. A must play for any designer wanting to explore VSfighting genre.

I really love this game! The game-mechanics are unique! It's hard to play for newbies, but absolutely recommended for those who search a competitive "non-standard" game.

A underrated 1v1 game that has a very pure representation of mechanics that are common to a lot of fighting games(spacing, parrying, etc.). Lots of mind games.

Very good game! it's a shame it lost its way among hundreds of other games. It would be nice to get some updates, new maps, skills, online, etc. But over all, gameplay solid and fun. Great 1v1 experience.
