    I really hope this gets funded, because this is such a great idea for a fighting game.
    Despite the lack of polish at the moment there’s so much talent and passion on display that I wanna see this through to the end!

    This game has so much potential for more characters. Imagine a Not-Bionicle, a Not-Transformer that can actually change form as one of his special moves, a Not-Stretch-Armstrong, a Not-Pizzazz who fights using the POWER OF ROCK, and at least one toy that's completely thematically inappropriate for a fighting game to be the "joke character" skilled players can wreck your shit with nonetheless. Oh, and they totally need to change the select screens to call the characters "action figures" and the stages "playsets."

      This is it EXACTLY. Oozebite is the amalgamation of two of some of the biggest toy crazes of the late 80s into the very early 90s. Monsters and Gross out stuff. Your sister has an EZ Bake Oven? Cool, we're gonna have a EZ BAke Oven for boys but call it a Quesy Bake Oven and it makes Booger Cookies and Mud Pies. Don't want that Care Bear with the hearts? Yeah, screw that thing, here have a My Pet Monster with BREAKABLE SHACKLES.

      I think he’s meant to be My Pet Monster crossed with Inhumanoids... specifically the Inhumanoid D'Compose who had the exposed rib cage that opened up. He’s furry like My Pet Monster, has yellow eyes like My Pet Monster, he’s got metal cuffs like My Pet Monster, and he’s got some big sharp teeth like My Pet Monster.
      My Pet Monster and Inhumanoids also came out the same year as each other.

      It is a reference to Biker Mice since in the lab stage you can see his box and it says Biker Barracuda from Bermuda and the logo is a parody of Biker Mice.
      I do also think he's a Battletoads reference because they're called Lockjaw, Wrecker and Splitz which for some reason reminds me of Rash, Pimple and Zitz, and the bike super looks like the bikes from Battletoads

You had this cool looking game, that had a full playable build, and you're asking people for a quarter of a million dollars to fund it, yet the devs are on twitter going "hey check out this demo build we got running at (insert random convention here)". Like dudes who gives a fuck what random pro FGC players in latin america you got to play it? They're not gonna fund that shit for you. You're basically just taunting your potential backers with the fact that they can't actually play your game that you want them to give you money for.

    The game looks great but I really wish they had approached the designs from the perspective of authenticity to the toys that inspired them. The joint articulation on these toys basically means they can move in ways identical to any other traditional fighter character, when the toys they're emulating had extremely basic motion - locked elbows and wrists, only vertical swivel on the shoulder, and then inhuman motions like 360 degree waist swivel. The end result would have been super jank looking because of the limited range of motion, but it would have been characterful and authentic, and most importantly would reflect how kids moved their toys when pantomiming these fights in their playtime.
