Next Fest demo has been patched with a bunch of balance and difficulty tweaks. ✨

Hey, thanks for the feedback. Enemy health / agression is still something I'm actively trying to tweak as more folk try the demo.

Do you remember at all how roughly long your playthrough ended up being and / or how many game overs you had?

Ah! The @caseyexplosion.bsky.social retweet, and subsequent blast of likes is always a magical and affirming thing. Thank you!

There's self-sabotage too. I've hovereed over a few of these hideous AI banners and the footage / screenshots don't match up at all and actually look like they might have something scrappy and interesting going on.

But I'm already out on principle.

Pictured: My game, Magical Girl Fist Fight, desperately fighting it's way to the surface of Next Fest through a sea of AI garbage.

Various thumbnails from the Steam Next Fest page, with mine clumsily highlighted through the magic of mouse freehand paint skills.

Magical Girl Fist Fight is in the #SteamNextFest! Behold the extent of my social media strategy.

Not me at hour 70 of Silksong fighting the true final boss and only now learning that Vesticrests are a thing.

The Mysterious trilogy is extremely fluffy and safe, although I do kinda love Firis as it takes some wild swings with the Atelier formula, even if the resulting game is a bit messy.

Arland trilogy has a bit more bite to it, but yeah, nothing quite lives up to Dusk.

Look, if the part of my brain permanently taken up by a stupid Samurai Goroh line delivery is what gets me quoted in the Guardian, so be it.

Samurai Goro's line delivery of 'you stole the prize money from us last time...' while flailing his arms has randomly stuck with my friendship group for 20+ years. (From fzero GX)

Magical Girl Fist Fight on Steam Can't a Magical Girl retire in peace? You may have lost your powers, but you can still throw a punch!

Hopefully a repeat share is ok, now that I have a demo and steam page! Thanks!

Yeah feels like they're trying to crack down now on the wrong people, rather than reviewing the existing slop accounts.

C'mon Mario... I somehow got accepted as just some random solo dev, but that was 6 years ago and via the EU side.

Think I emphasised in pitch: the game is already out, here is a steam link, YouTube trailer, screenshots, quoted some positive reviews.

Good luck!

Oh no. Gonna have to rearrange my Donna wall to make space if this one goes on sale...

Now also available to demo / wishlist on Steam!
(But please don't expect a release date any time soon)

Magical Girl Fist Fight. Demo on itch. (link below)

I'll be at Norwich Games Festival on Saturday 31st May with a playable build! #NGF25

Store page isn't ready yet, but demo is happening real soon! I'm doing a silly magical girl beat-em-up.

Time to deploy the most obnoxious jpop possible in retaliation.

Ok, one last battle. The game is Magical Girl Fist Fight! Demo soon✨

Was Yakuza 4 the unanimous choice to represent the series?

Slow cooked beef brisket, about 5 Yorkshire puddings, and all the chocolate eggs I could carry from the reduced aisle this morning.

Horned Magical Villainess: "Brave of you to show your faces in public, amongst such very fine zombies."

Hooded Magical Person: "Oh. Hello. Sorry. Thought you were here to loot the place."

Magical Businessperson: "Sorry, it took me ages to park the van."

Might announce a game soon. Here are some familiar faces.

Part-Time Hero: I'm Broke But I Have To Save The World! Pay Rent, Chase Your Dreams, and Become A Hero In Future Club’s Life Sim Deckbuilder!

Might be a bit late to share, but it's exciting to see the extremely niche subgenre of anti-capitalist magical girls expand! Good luck @futureclub.dev

Looks like you should be able to buy the 'international' version direct from Nintendo in Japan (identical to UK ver.). Seem like the locked down one is so they can offer them at a reduced price in store to match the weaker Yen, but prevent them being scalped and sold elsewhere.

Keep having to delay my satirical magical girl brawler, as the real world keeps inventing new and stupid things I have to include...

Whoops that's a lot of enemies, but at least those cars are safe. Thank goodness.

Obnoxiously loud stock explosion sound effect my beloved. Now in its 6th game in a row.

Magical combat action kicking off in the supermarket carpark.
