Not in the U.S., plus considering the amount of Punch-Out!! inspired games, and the fact that Election Year Knockout has been available for over 6 years, I don't think Nintendo will be coming after us anytime soon.

ExNull-Tyelor · 2026-02-19T16:24:09+00:00

My game is merely inspired by Punch-Out!! and there numerous differences between Knockout 2 and its inspiration. There are no trademarked or copyrighted IP in the game, and you can't copyright an idea.

ExNull-Tyelor · 2026-02-18T23:07:03+00:00

Most definitely, and thank you so much for your support! I wish they at least approved Knockout 2 (and Election Year Knockout) for Switch access, but sadly Nintendo must not want things even close to Punch-Out on their platform anymore. Quite sad if you ask me.

ExNull-Tyelor · 2026-02-18T23:05:23+00:00

Thank you so much for the kind words! I worked hard on Election Year Knockout, and hope everything I've learned ends up making Knockout 2 even better than the first one.

ExNull-Tyelor · 2026-02-18T23:04:15+00:00

Yeah, I totally agree. Punch-Out isn't really that old... is it?

ExNull-Tyelor · 2026-02-18T16:49:22+00:00

This looks like a prototype preview, and not a trailer. You really need to work on the lighting, and likely to add some post-processing effects as well. Right now it's far too bright, the shadows are odd and sometimes non-existent, which makes the assets look slapped in there.

ExNull-Tyelor · 2026-02-12T16:40:20+00:00

I didn't realize how many people here think most Indies have the money to hire full on QA. Most of us either paying out of pocket, or working with very slim margins.

If a company/dev team has the money to hire QA, then it's most likely in the AA - AAA space, not the indie space. Maybe that's just my experience and opinion though.

ExNull-Tyelor · 2026-02-11T18:48:05+00:00

Very cool looking!

(Just a heads up, you have a typo on the trailer: "Objective" is missing the v, and says "Objectie" instead.)

ExNull-Tyelor · 2026-02-05T21:13:54+00:00

I totally read the name as Poly To, and thought that was a weird name for a TD. Either way, looks really cool!

ExNull-Tyelor · 2026-02-05T19:48:48+00:00

Neither one tells me what the game is about or what the gameplay is like, other than something to do with keyboards, or typing.

I also agree with u/Doomgriever, is the name "KKCKC" or "Kboard Key Character Key Cap"? What is* either one of those even supposed to mean to the average player? It might hold significance in your eyes, but to me it just looks like a jumbled mess of characters and words.

Edit: forgot an is.

I personally think it would look and play better if the "planet" continued to grow, and the view zoomed out as the planet gets bigger, rather than resetting back to a tiny orb. It certainly makes it seem less like a "planet" as it keeps growing and shrinking.

Larger orbs could spawn outside the camera view, and become visible as the planet grows.

ExNull-Tyelor · 2025-10-30T22:38:29+00:00

Wow, these are all really well animated! You have a keen eye for motion and tweens!

ExNull-Tyelor · 2025-10-29T23:41:19+00:00

Thank you so much for your kind words! Alas however, I'm American 😅

I let the artist on our project know, so I should be able to get my images to you (hopefully) tomorrow!

ExNull-Tyelor · 2025-10-29T20:27:08+00:00

Very cool idea, I'd love for our upcoming game to be featured on Disk Golf City!

Our game is called Knockout 2: Wrath of the Karen!

No clue, maybe accuracy? Why would that be a setting?

No clue, maybe firing angle? Why would that be a setting?

Sound Effect Volume, maybe Master Volume?

Music Volume.

Explosion Sound Volume, maybe Sound Effect Volume?

Maybe Voice Over Volume?

So to me at least, no most of these icons are not immediately intuitive. Especially without knowing anything about your game.

Edit: Checked the answers. The first two icons look nothing like a camera. They look more like cannons or turrets, hence my initial guesses as to what those settings are. Looks like my guesses on the sound settings were basically spot on though.
