Jackstrap Devlog 04 - Eight-Direction Run and Fighting Poses
A major animation pass focused on all eight run directions and on learning how to draw convincing fighting motion for Jack.
Jackstrap
A hand-drawn arena survivor about a ninja jockstrap defending his family's jewels.
Run around, punch enemies, survive waves, collect upgrades, and slowly turn Jack into a more ridiculous fighting machine.
About the game
Jackstrap is an early-in-development arena survivor made in Godot with hand-drawn art and animation.
The current focus is making the core loop readable and satisfying: movement, enemy pressure, punch direction, upgrades, visual clarity, and the general feel of surviving a messy arena full of enemies.
