Shadow Boxer
This is a boxing game for Pirate Software Game Jam 15! Play solo or local co-op with a friend to see how far you can get.
The "alchemist" works in the shadows combining elements to create power ups for the boxer. Boxer faces the never ending flow of increasingly tough opponents.
Controls
- Move the alchemist capsule with A and D
- Use Up/Down arrows to shift boxers stance.
- Use Right arrow to punch!
Enjoy my first ever game jam submission!

Seeing your post on discord, I remembered I forgot to let some feedback on my experience.
The stain DEPUP and PUP that take the full screen is a terrible idea, they happen a lot, they're invasive, they cover the rest of the game.
Also there is a lot of pellets that drop and catching the one you need is very hard and sometimes impossible when two of them overlap and break your combo.
I like the idea of shadowbox for shadow !
Thanks for the feedback! Very much appreciated.
I was aiming to get that dramatic effect from the big stains, and originally they stayed blocking the view even longer. Definitely worth a rethink for me there.
The difficulty curve also seems to run too fast on the collector side within a level. Maybe should have toned that down. Maybe the 5-combo is too many also?
Good points you had there! Thanks again.
Nice interpretation of the theme and really nice sound design. Game is a bit hard I think. But i got to level 2 wich is nice.
Thanks for playing! Difficulty curve might be a bit too steep I think. Pro-tip: always go for the strength-PUP first ;) I should probably have a look at the parameters to lower the difficulty at some point in the future. Thanks for the feedback!
I really love your take on the shadow theme! Really cool
Cheers! Appreciated :)
