HAKAI
HAKAI is an experimental, momentum-based action game made in PICO-8 which takes inspiration from Dragonball Z. Fly into your opponent like a guided missile and blast lasers across the screen!
Controls:
Arrow keys to move, hold Z and move to fly, hold Z and don't move to charge up, and tap Z while holding a direction to dodge. Hold X to fire a super attack, tap X while holding a direction to dash towards your opponent and strike, hold X while dashing to charge a heavy attack, and tap X while not holding a direction to shoot.
Local multiplayer:
Gamepad: HAKAI and all PICO-8 games have full gamepad support.
Keyboard: for Player 2 you can use the keys S,F,E,D for the arrow keys and Tab and Q for Z and X, respectively.

i hate the rachel fight
pov ur in a dragonball fight
DragonBall Z on Pico-8? I'm amazed with this! Absolutely amazing game!
for corra you can just. hold down attack
got a time of 116
hooray
Very cool aesthetics, but I've found myself frustrated by the fact that holding Z builds charge if I'm not moving but costs charge if I am. It's unintuitive.
Edit: I got much better at this when I did local multiplayer; having an opponent who can die and isn't already broadly competent helps a lot. An update to the training mode might be nice there.
i got 180 lol. Best way to beat the game is to hold z and spam x.
skill less
skill issue
it is just get better
i got 262
Where is the p8 file?
I love that hidden feature where it's possible to get out of a combo
What's the hidden feature?
The way I do it is by blocking (press the arrow away from your attacker) and then tapping the charge button to dash away.
Really cool game! Are there any plans to release on steam?
nice game ๐
That was really fun! I am ass at it tho :โข(
howto skid
...WOW!
that's the fastest you can go
overall great no amazing game but something you can add would be if you could choose modes instead of PVP or arcade. but all in all nice
modes are nice but what i think they should add ids mods like a yumihustle situation it would be amazing
this goes hard with Sonic Frontiers' boss music if done right. AWESOME, but I recommend Break through it all or Undefeatable. Both are really good and it just hits differently when it syncs with the end of the fight.
Epic
hold down an arrow key and z and x and it auto fights you can get mad combos
Thx for the tip :)
i hold x and spam z and at a wall i turn to keep the combo going
It's a super fun game I absolutely love it, but sometimes the character does stuff independently, which leads to a Game Over. But other than that everything else is super smooth and fun
I have found a bug: If you play single player and after that you play multiplayer, the game crash
Postdata: It is a really good gameyou guys know if you hold down left/right and down while spamming z u can wavedashthis goes so hard
Awesome stuff!
SUB 100 wooOOOOOOO
yeah this is enough for now
GETTING EXTREMELY GOOD-
ill attempt a sub 100 later.
DOING REALLY GOOD
doing really good
when you get the time could you make a Xbox or just joystick version for us thank you
Not to sound too knew but is there a reason I cant download the pico-8 cart for the game? I already paid for it but would love to check out the code and assets a little more in depth. Besides that love this game so much and purchased it in a heartbeat.
You should be able to find it if you look up "HAKAI" in the Splore!
the pixel art is sooo smooth
is the game available for mobile download?
Very good ๐
Bug : the player 2 controls are a bit inverted and incorrect the "S" key for example dosen't go down instead does a heavy attack . :)
In PICO-8 ASDW is not used, SFED is the control for player 2. S would go left, not down
amazing-
was surprise to see this works so well in pico.
bravo.
Great game. Never seen anyone pull of this feeling in game form (besides maybe Lethal League).
My main issue is that I find it's too easy to stunlock people by gaining a lot of momentum and holding x.
plz make an iOS version or make this available on the App Store
Can you make a android version please
