Created by Team Pirate Jellies for Extra Credits Game Jam #4 (following the theme of "Connection"). Coded in Python, using the Pygame library.
Go easy on us. 3 of the 4 of us have never been in a game jam before, and 2 of us had never made games before.
Note: Some older versions of Windows might not have the right DLL files to run this game. I don't really know what to do about it.

Its a fun little game with simple but easy controls. I would try and make the wifi zones more important or fundamental to the game. I was able to beat most of the enemies just spam clicking the punch button outside the wifi zones. Nice art and punchy sounds did add a lot. Well done.
Thanks for giving it a shot! We had a lot more ideas for how to use WiFi (including some puzzle mechanics to break up the fights) but it took so long to get the engine working we didn't end up implementing most of them.
Understandable, it is a game jam after all. Just getting something finished can be difficult enough.
