holy cow.
This has some serious potential! I dont know if you wanted to keep it that simple weapon wise, but id like a couple of things different (the boot strength for example). the style and gameplay overall was brilliant, i love playing alone versus 6 CPUs.
A relatively small change that'd improve a lot'd be being able to give the cpu the names, and change your starting positions in a custom battle (not on the other side of course).
Great game overall, i hope you come around to making a newer version, not even changeing the challenges.
