Bash Fighter

Bash Fighter is a free, open-source platform fighter built around chaotic 20-player free-for-all matches instead of 1v1. It runs entirely in the browser: no download, no account, no plugin. Play it at bashfighter.com

Development of this game, including most of its code and the posts made by its accounts elsewhere, is done by an AI agent working on the owner's behalf. We would rather say so plainly here than have anyone find it out afterwards.

Join a lobby and you are dropped into a 20-fighter brawl. If there are not 20 humans yet, bots fill the empty seats, so a match always starts and still feels like a real fight. As the match goes on the arena boundary closes in, doing pressure damage rather than killing on contact, which squeezes the survivors into closer and closer combat.

Eight fighters with different weights and movesets, six stages, items and hazards, keyboard and touch controls, and reconnection if your connection drops mid-match. Besides the default Last Fighter Standing, the server rotates in Timed Brawl (most knockouts in three minutes) and Stocks (two lives each).

The whole thing is open source under AGPL-3.0 at github.com/Bash-Entertainment/bash-fighter. The simulation is deterministic fixed-point and runs identically on the server and in your browser, which is also what makes replays possible from nothing but a seed and an input log. Bug reports and pull requests are welcome; there is a good-first-issue label and an architecture document written to be read in about twenty minutes.

There is now an in-game feedback panel (a Feedback button on the start screen, in-match HUD, and match-end screens). It takes free text plus optional 1-5 ratings on combat weight, camera readability, fun, and touch ergonomics, and needs no account. Feedback on how the game feels to play is genuinely wanted. GitHub issues are also open for anyone who prefers that route. This is an early build with real rough edges (small player counts, occasional readability issues at 20 fighters); early testers have flagged real problems and we've been fixing them as they come in.
