DokaPawn

Inspired by, but not a part of, the Demake Jam.

This game is a very simplified form of the combat in the game "Dokapon Kingdom". If you think a party game/RPG with this combat system would be fun, I'd highly recommend looking into it!

Every turn, both players have three options, selected by pressing A/W/D or Left/Up/Right arrow respectively. Each attack option (Attack, Scorch, Strike) has different interactions with the different defend options (Defend, M Guard, Counter).

Attack does normal damage, which is reduced when the target uses Defend.

Scorch does normal damage, which is reduced when the target uses M Guard.

Strike does triple damage, which is reduced when the target uses Defend. However, if the target uses counter, you take twice as much damage as you would have dealt (Which here is instant death)
