Little Brawler

Little Brawler is a free fighting game made with AI by @rakala, and you can play it right here in your browser.

Little Brawler is a cartoon side-view beat 'em up inspired by the legendary Little Fighter 2. Pick a super-deformed chibi fighter, step into the tournament arena, and unleash punches, kicks, jumps, dashes, and screen-shaking special moves on waves of AI brawlers.

Movement is 8-directional across a pseudo-3D ground plane — step into and out of depth to dodge attacks, line up combos, and juggle stunned enemies into the air for follow-ups. Pick up wooden sticks, baseball bats, milk bottles, and bombs to turn the fight in your favor.

Choose your style: Stage Mode runs you through escalating waves and boss fights, Battle Mode pits two teams against each other, and 1v1 Mode is a quick duel against the AI. Couch hot-seat support lets a friend grab the second set of keys.

Bright comic-book art, thick ink outlines, vivid colors, and an unmistakable arcade-brawler vibe. It's loud, it's fast, and the only thing more satisfying than landing a Dragon Punch is the screen shaking when you do.
