What is this?

Markiplier and Ethan Nestor-Darling colaborated on a YouTube channel in 2019 where the idea was to make a new video every day for a complete year. But when it was complete, the entire channel and everything associated with it would be deleted. Unnofficial back-ups exist, of course, but the idea was to have something finite.

An episode during the Covid-19 Pandemic where they had a fantasy Boxing Match caught my attention and I wrote this game. It’s a super basic version of what they did just with better customisation. It’s possible to add your own fighters as long as you provide formatted animations. It was also possible to create new stages to fight on.

It was built very quickly in Phaser, made to be runable and posted to the Unus Annus Subreddit. It’s kept here as a momento and a goofy little project I bolted together for fun and to keep up with the excitement.
