Description

HYPERFIGHT 2 is a fast-paced 2D fighting game that takes "easy to learn, hard to master" to its absolute limit.
Gameplay revolves around a tug-of-war system where your meter is directly tied to your win condition.
You'll have to wager your earned points to gain access to special and super moves.

The game is a sequel to the first HYPERFIGHT, which was a one-hit fighter.
While the meter system is carried over, the sequel now features combos and ring outs for a more complex yet
seamless gameplay flow. Each member of the cast is unique in their gimmicks and gameplay style, and is made up of
returning fighters from the original alongside some new faces.

As the developer, I'm aiming to create a game that's accessible yet fun in its own right.
For example, though there's only dodging and no blocking, such mechanics allow me to design characters that can truly
make any part of the screen feel dangerous. Movement is much like an anime fighter with airdashes and double jumps,
so I'm hoping it can appeal to hardcore fans of the genre and introduce new players to that style of game.

Coming Early 2026.
