Play Overview
Footsies (2020) is a simple fighting game with minimal visuals but highly tuned hitting and kicking mechanics. Play involves moving your character to land-specific moves and depleting your opponent's energy. It stands out not only for simple visuals but how accurate you need to be to land blows and the high skill ceiling.
It's a side-on ground-based fighting game designed to enable both new and experienced players to pick up and enjoy easily. However, although the game controls and mechanics are simple, to master requires a fundamental understanding of fighting games. Either through online battles or the training modes, you learn digital fighting techniques like spacing, hit confirm and whiff punish.
The result is an arcade fighting game, that removes the distracting and confusing visuals to make the experience understandable and approachable. You can even turn on training modes like command lists with frame data and a hitbox viewer.
