Knockoff

Knockoff is an isometric brawler set in the haunted World Shopping Center, an endless dead mall. A girl searches for an exit while trapped in a nightmare by a Dark Witch. You fight waves of enemies with combo-heavy combat and dodge waves of bullet-hell attacks.

Combat and modes

After completing the tutorial and defeating its boss, you unlock PvP battles with friends, combo practice in the Training Room, Endless Wave survival mode and “Fishbowl” fight spectating.

Characters and moves

The game features Camilla, Amy and Blue, each with their own attacks and weapons:

• Camilla’s Standing Light: Sprites stored in the knucklebones of her Gaunts bore into an enemy when she cracks her finger.
• Camilla’s Aimed Heavy: Camilla releases a bloody beam of fire and brimstone. She appears undead, possibly a Sprite possessing a body of stale blood; she hovers above the ground and PIT, and is frail yet powerful.
• Amy’s Standing Heavy: Her Instrument is possessed by two Sprites joined in an unholy ritual. A smash from its eye can undead all but the heartiest opponents.
• Amy’s Moving Light: Amy rides a sturdy longboard that can take hits without making her dismount. It is more cumbersome than a skateboard, and she can fall without technical, delicate maneuvers.
• Blue’s Aimed Heavy: Blue can prepare an attack with his guitar, Mother, and hold it just before releasing it at an enemy. The guitar is possessed, and he handles it carefully.
• Blue’s Aimed Light: Blue can hold his Skull Balls ready and strike suddenly. They contain electricity rather than a Sprite, which he can use to propel himself at opponents or pull opponents toward him.

Art and sound

Knockoff combines retro 3D models, psychedelic particle effects, meaty animations, surreal stages, glitchcore videos, Y2K drawings and an original soundtrack.
