!! ANNOUNCEMENT !! HYPERFIGHT 2 will be officially released in Early Access on October 12! If you've never heard of it before, it's my brand-new take on 2D fighting games described by some as "Smash Bros meets Guilty Gear". Rollback included! #gamedev #indiegame #fgc

Been binging the Rhythm Heaven series after finishing Groove. I forget that sometimes, when a game is good you're excited to jump back in and keep playing it, simple as.

HYPERFIGHT 2 is a 1v1 fighting game with: - Crisp airdasher movement - Short, sweet combos - GG+R/Fightcade style lobbies - No DRM BS Launching soon in Early Access! Would be awesome if this small game of mine became one of the best #fgc launches of 2026 🥹 #gamedev #indiegame

Nvm found it. Come get a free Kero pin 🙂 (very limited amount each day)

joh | HYPERFIGHT 2 Releases October 12!! @studiojoh.com · 14/08/2026

Lost the box with the pins (and a few controllers) 😭 I'll try to find it before the event ends...

joh | HYPERFIGHT 2 Releases October 12!! @studiojoh.com · 04/08/2026

#HYPERFIGHT2 x @ceogaming.org I'll be boothing at CEO for the first time this year! Come by and play the latest build - I'll also have some more pins to give out!

This is entirely my choice, but in a world where taking shortcuts is encouraged, I want to stand by my belief that creation is a process that goes hand in hand with effort. I hope that shines through my work.

I'm not a solo dev, but more than 95% of the game was made by me. Absolutely no AI was used in the process of creating HF2, and I'd argue its online features and UX are as good or better than some recent fighting game releases.

Fun fact - after exhibiting last weekend, Yona and Kero were the most popular characters by far! If 2 people sat down at least one of them were picked. Wonder how it'll shift as more characters are added.

Projected to be a few months, but the bigger problem is that polish and details are an infinite rabbit hole

I'd rather earn nothing than make something forgettable

I feel the weight of wanting my game to be successful heavily, but the weight of wanting it to be good is much heavier
