Please add Pocket Bravery to your Wishlist on STEAM. Make sure to check it out!

Pocket Bravery is an original fighting game, made completely hand drawn in pixel art, with a dynamic and responsive gameplay, focused on the characters’ animations with the aim to get fluidity during matches.

In this example, a single attack has 22 individual frames​ 

The game is inspired by classics from the 90s, such as Street Fighter, Fatal Fury and The King of Fighters. And its SD aesthetic was influence on games like Pocket Fighter and other fighting games from Neo Geo Pocket Color. 

But make no mistake, Pocket Bravery was created to be a new and unique fighting game, with original characters, vibrant colors an impressive combat system, designed with high-level players in mind. For beginners, we created a set of features that will teach them how to improve and evolve.

The game uses a digital pad and four buttons., two punches and two kicks. You can combine  directional inputs and buttons to execute traditional commands from fighting games such as specials, super specials or even Final Attacks.

Elemental System

Each character has an element that represents their strength. An element can be physical or supernatural. You can accumulate up to 2 attacks on the elemental bar. Through this system, it is possible to execute elemental attacks that have different characteristics from the others and bring new offensive or defensive possibilities for the player:

Cancel System

• E.Cancel

It allows the player to cancel special attacks into elemental attacks, spending the elemental gauge and half of the power gauge.

• S.Cancel

This system allows the player to cancel special attacks into super specials. Like E.Cancel, this also has a cost: 1 stock of the Power Bar plus half of it.

​Taunt

During a match, provocations can bring advantages and disadvantages. When you taunt, the opponent can lose half of their power bar due to being angry. Depending on their personality or relationship with your character, different reactions can happen. Be careful, though: During the taunt animation, the character is vulnerable to attacks.

Breaker

The best defense against an opponent's pressure, it can be done while blocking or being hit. It costs half of the elemental bar.

Character Status

In the character selection screen, along with the fighter's portrait, there are 4 attributes that describe their gameplay: Strength, Speed, Range and Difficulty. You can see them in more detail by pressing the Details button. In this menu, you can check their bio, that includes their nationality, full name, abilities, archetype and some of their input commands. This can help a beginner to know if a character fits with their  preferred gameplay style.

Shortcuts

If you are still learning, you’ll have the possibility to use simplified commands. This way you only need to press a single button to make special, super special moves or the final attack. To enable this feature, just go to the options or do it directly on the character selection screen. (Not available on Online Matches).

Accessibility

We implement colorblind effects and are working to bring more accessibility options to the final version of the game.  

Languages

The game will feature 12 languages, (this number may increase, depending on our fans). We want our product to be accessible for players who speak totally different languages.

Other Features

- Arcade mode

- VS mode

- Online mode

- Training mode

- Combo Maker (original mode to teach beginners in fighting games how to make combos. We'll show more details in near future)

In Pocket Bravery, a strange phenomenon happened in the world. But only a few people are able to feel and manifest it. There are those who throw energy through their hands, others reinforce their muscles, while certain specialists transfer their essence to objects and weapons. Nobody understands exactly what is happening and everyone tries to discover this mystery in their own way. In the middle of all this, Matilha, a criminal organization, wants to steal ancient artifacts and relics that involve several nations and notable individuals.

Regretful for making all the wrong decisions possible, Nuno seeks redemption, and with that, gets courage to face his parents again. During this journey, he will have to deal with several bad revelations about himself and the source of his powers. But it will not be easy to let go of his bad habits.

For someone who once hated practicing martial arts and preferred to stay at the computer, Mingmei became a skilled master in kung fu, showing how brilliant she was in different things in her life. However, everything comes with a price: for feeling guilty for the theft of a mystical artifact, she devoted all of her time to fulfill tradition and correct things.

There are many ways to feel an adrenaline rush. For Sebastian, the best of them is to win a competition. And his favorite competition is to arrest criminals, even though he’s now walking between being one or not. But in his mind it is a necessary evil to clean up his reputation tainted by corrupt people at Interpol, and who knows, one day, to recover his badge.

Motivated by strong feelings, Hadassa seeks answers to a crime that occurred in her life. This goal has always been in her mind, and when the opportunity came, she didn't think twice about pursuing clues, certain that she has enough capacity to smash the face of anyone who comes her way.

Ekon Ndidi is a pacifist man, but everything has a limit. After having his village invaded by a criminal organization and having his petition ignored by the government and the United Nations, he realized that to win the peace of his people it will be necessary to fight. With a great physical and spiritual strength, Ndidi is willing to change the destiny of the people of his land.

A world karate champion with only 17 years old, Kimberly put all her physical and mental fitness to the test when she joined the CIA and participated in dangerous missions, to unfortunately get away from the job she loved after discovering that not everything was as it seemed. Unable to do nothing, she founded Eagle, a private intelligence and espionage agency. With this, she is now able to keep put fear in all kinds of terrorist threats.

She came from the lowest strata of society, and because of this Malika understands the value of wealth better than anyone, being a successful businesswoman who thinks about different social causes, especially the spread of drugs to children from poor neighborhoods, since her brother ran away from home for the same reason. But unfortunately to solve the problem of the neighborhood in which she was born, she will need to deal with people capable of unreal things.

Some fight for a cause, others for money, but Arshavin fights for fame. Determined to be the greatest fighter ever, this man of colossal strength does not know the word "limit" when he comes to exchanging punches with a worthy opponent. However, fame can blind us, and this aim to be recognized puts him in bad situations.

Daisuke was a man who put his duty above everything, but after failing, he saw himself only as a dishonor with no place in the world. Full of negative feelings, he is sure that he will only redeem himself when he gets his revenge, but does not realize how he is leaving the things that really matter behind.

Ximena is a woman covered by mystery. Some think she is capable of talking to Death, others think she is Death itself. Regardless of your opinion, the only certainty is that she is an incredibly skilled killer, capable of eliminating you in a blink of an eye. After all, killing is not a pleasure, since her true pleasures are traveling and enjoying life. In the end, killing is just another business.

We have already released another game, which is part of the same universe as Pocket Bravery, called Guns N’ Runs. It’s a stylish platform, action and shooting game, containing super specials and fast-paced Dash mechanics. In summary, it’s a game that refers to classics like Mega Man, Metal Slug and Celeste. Guns N' Runs is available on STEAM.

We are partnered with Razer! We received recognition and support from Razer, who kindly approached us and sent us some peripherals, (keyboard, mouse, headphone and different types of joysticks), to facilitate our work in the development of Pocket Bravery. Thanks, Razer!

This is a special stage. It will be available to everyone at the game release. (You can also create yours, however you want, if you are a Warlord supporter or higher)

Everything we have done has been financed by our personal savings, some services provided to third parties and the help of some friends and family. However, to continue creating the game, we need your help. Our goal is to finish Pocket Bravery, no matter how long it takes, but we want to keep the development at full speed, as has been done so far. However, due to the high investment in the project and the need to maintain a quality team, our resources have been exhausted.

And precisely at this very important and decisive moment that we chose Indiegogo. We understand that every money collected will be extremely important to keep the team focused on developing the game.

Furthermore, we really want to hear a big "YES" from our fans and other potential players, enough to feel confident that Pocket Bravery is a game that people want to see launched.

And it is also well known that the value of a Indiegogo goes well beyond the amount raised during the campaign, being here provides us with the best initial feedback cycle that a game studio can expect. We are committed to this project and want confirmation that Pocket Bravery is something you want.

We want to thank everyone who has supported us since the beginning and you who are getting to know us right now. We want you to know that we are grateful for this opportunity to have some of your time and interest in our Kickstarter campaign.

Sharing our project with your friends, family and social media would be a huge help for us. Thank you for visiting Pocket Bravery!
