Kombat Fighters - King of the Kards

This is the first flash game I've ever made.  Looking back, it's quite primitive, but it was a incredibly fun and rewarding experience.  It took about 6 months to make, with most of the time spent on adding content (animating, graphics, etc.)

Strengths
I think its strongest feature is the creativity of all the animations.  A lot of pain-staking thought went into almost every frame of every attack even though it might not always seem like it.  I also like the WTF aspect in the game, such as having Stone Cold being one of the characters, Master Chief blowing his head off when he dies, and the Sorc dropping gold on her death.

Weaknesses
The upgrade system is weak, and the gameplay differences between the characters is weak as well.  I put a lot of work into the addition of Versus mode and my thoughts are that nobody every touches it, so it was probably wasted effort.  Thematically, the game is poor, with content basically consisting of sprite rips from anywhere and everywhere.

The game is also glitchy and poorly programmed as I was learning Flash AS3 and by the time I understood that the architecture I was using was absolute ass it was too late.

Overall
Bottom line is that it's really more a controlled light show than an actual game with a lot of meat to sink ones teeth into.  However, it's still a lot of fun to play and I still like a lot of the ideas it incorporates.
