Super Smash Couples

This game is currently not playable due to too many bugs - RIP Game Jam

You can still test it but you'll get probably soft locked at some point.

This was still a good exercise.

"Beware of the sharp edged weapon called human being" - Chuck Schuldiner

In this world people can become weapons for each other, even in loving relationships.

In Super Smash Couples the topic of the Pirate Software Game Jam #16 "You are the weapon" becomes a metaphor of how we sometimes hurt and crush others.

In this therapeutic game, developed by Goblin, Gamedesigner and Therapist Dr. Fblthp III. himself (pronounced as "Fibblethip"), couples learn to renew their connection in the midst of quarrel and division. 

Express conflicts in your relationship in a more playful manner and experience a renewed communion with each other in this physics-based brawl game.

It is designed to create a safe space for venting your anger and frustration in a fun, entertaining and bonding way.

Weaponize yourself with crates or different tools like the baseball bat, the dishes or the hammer to smash your "opponent" virtually into the ground.

Disclaimer: The research into venting anger has demonstrated for decades that venting does not improve emotional state and instead increases anger and aggressiveness. If you are struggling with serious issues of anger in your relationship, please don't listen to Dr. Fblthp or any other self-proclaimed gamedesigner on the Internet and seek out professional help to analyze your situation and bring actual calm and rest into your life.
