Numeric is no longer supported.. i installed numpy and replaced numeric with numpy.. but couldn't get it to work.. and didn't bother digging further.. sorry

Music and some of the effects were top-notch. I would have preferred a one-player mode since I don't have any friends...

Game crashed with the following traceback after selecting "2 Player":

Too bad it's so incomplete! I had to fiddle a lot to get it working as I don't have Numeric (come on, it's been obsolete for the last 5 years!). And framerate is bad and it seems the debug "hit rectangles" were left in. But the wobbly walls and the competent art and music are still valuable accomplishments!

Some parts of the game were well done, I thought. But the controls were really unresponsive for me. I like that you put in some combos but they all seem to be variations of jumping and blocking. Why not some offensive combos? The menus were a bit unintuitive. Enter should work to select. I don't have any friends I want to bore with such an unpolished game: 1-player mode would have been much more fun, even if the AI was really lousy.

Numeric has been deprecated for a long time and it's not present in many systems. Use numpy instead.

Nice work on your menu system, I really enjoyed that effect. The game was great, and if this is
your first time then brilliant. The "numeric" library has been deprecated in favor of the
"numpy" library (I was able to successfully replace calls to numeric with ones to numpy). You
should be extremely careful when typing

from something import * while at first this seems convenient; it can cause headaches later on,
as some of your code doesn't do what you think it does and caused bugs on my machine!! :) Keep up
the good work, you do make fine games .

Couldn't build Numeric on Mac OS X 10.6, or find a prebuilt lib. It's a shame, I was curious to try the game.

Windows 7, python 2.6, pygame 1.9.1, latest pyglet version; No Readme present so I don't know what went wrong or which dependency is missing.

NumPy is the most recent and most actively supported package.
Numarray and Numeric are no longer supported.
Sorry!
