DanceJab
This fighting game has only one attack - JAB!
Shuffle and dash till the timing is right to - JAB!
Or footsie to bait your opponent then - JAB!
Hold centre stage. Don't fall off. Dance. JAB!
Two controllers can be connected in browser. On an xbox controller the left stick moves, A or Y dash and B or X jab.
Two players can also share a keyboard. For player 1 the arrow keys move, N dashes and M jabs. For player two, ESDF moves, tab dashes and Q jabs.
Inspired by Super Smash Bros. and Divekick.

Hello again! Thanks for playing our game, it was a delight to watch you discover and unfold all the mechanics and features 😄 Hope you enjoyed it and keep creating!
Really enjoyed it, it had a lot more in it than I thought it would which made it even more fun to play and mess around with. Also hope you keep creating too because already played 2 out of your 3 and have enjoyed them both.
