A one-stage arcade fighter with six characters, best of three, and a super that freezes the frame. Every hit gets hitstop, flash, and sparks.

Stack

Canvas 2D, Vite, a deterministic seeded sim, WebAudio synth plus music beds, sprites from keyed pose sheets, Titan One.

Highlights

  • The balance contract. One shared projectile row across all six fighters, never forked, so spam is exactly even.
  • Hitstop, white flash, and sparks on every impact; a cinematic freeze for the super.
  • Tuned on a 900-round robin of automated matches, not a dozen games.
