Submission Details

Pitch Answers

How the 3 games combine: Duck Life gives the fast loop of training stat and fast testing; Swords makes that training animated and character-driven; Punch gives the stat-to-fight causality where they visibly change combat behavior. They become a portrait-first prep room where every training choice creates a different fight.
TikTok moment: A stylish heroine sprints from a training station into the arena, dodges a ridiculous science laser, then knocks the mad scientist through his own machine in one huge animated hit.
Core retention loop: Spend 5 training tokens, choose one tactical focus, watch a short fight prove or punish your build, collect training rewards, and instantly try a different build.
Player fantasy: I am a glam-fight trainer who turns a stylish heroine into a custom-built scientist-smashing champion.
Core conflict: The player wants to prove that style, instinct, and training beat machine logic, but each Scientist arrives with a new gadget built to counter her strengths.
Daily return hook: Tomorrow’s return gives a new rival experiment fight with a bonus training reward and one limited cosmetic piece for the heroine or prep room.
Cosmetic expression angle: The player can customize the heroine’s outfit accents, gloves, stance, and stage/prep-room props, and those choices are visible during the first minute in both the Prep Room and the fight.
