Extremely fast paced, two button XiaoXiao style combat.
You remember those old Stick fight flash animations from Newgrounds that went down in history the second they were uploaded? Maybe you were a kid like me, wishing that someone would create a game that allowed you to be just as fluid, furrious and fast. Well, wish no longer.

Within a matter of moments, this game has quickly become one of my favorite titles this year..
Yes, you read that correctly.

It takes elements of DDR style timed gameplay and gives it to you with a simple 2 button system. Simply press either the left or right mouse buttons OR X and B on a controler and go to town. Such a simple system has never before made you feel like more of a badass. Further proving that a good game only requires amazing game design. And that's just what this dev has pulled off.

Don't be fooled by the simplistic gameplay though. This brawler is not simple by any means and faster than you realize it, it will turn on you. Becoming a hardcore slaughter fest. Rating you on how many times you've missed and being rather unforgiving about it. This isn't to say that it's not fair by any means. If you missed, YOU missed. And you will pay for it with reductions to speed, taking damage and losing points.

But, if you can keep up with the insanity it's throwing at you from all sides, it's one of the single most rewarding feelings you can get from a game. Knowing you've just wrecked a small army of men using nothing but your timing, skill and reaction speed.

For the price, I can think of no better buy right now on the Steam Store. This indie dev put time and effort into crafting something amazing, beautiful, addictive and mind blowing.

Do yourself a favor. Skip lunch for today and pick this game up right ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ now.

I actually enjoyed this game immensely. I described it to friends as a "coffebreak game" when one of these said friends complained that he didn't "have time for any more games".

It's a test of endurance between two fingers (Or one if you are ballsy) and mashing does not work, especially if you want to get the achievements. There is timing, quickness, decision making, and attention that you need to win the rounds that get exponentially faster through the game.

Don't let the simple graphics fool you, the soundtrack and sfx are top notch and it only makes me hope for a sequel!

Do the devs a favor and nab this game so we can get that sequel with multiplayer (competitive mode anyone?)

I honestly can't say anything bad about this, it's simple, it's fun, it just works.

Addictive as all hell too.

The best cure for a bad mood. Simply a great game with an incredibly low price.

This is not the sort of game i usually enjoy, but I enjoyed this game immensly. It is responsive, fast, easy to pick up and yet challenging enough to require some focus. It has enough variety to keep things interesting, unlockable skills to keep you wanting more, and enough combat to satisfy the most brutal of appetites.

I would not have discovered this game if I hadn't watched jacksepticeye play it on Youtube, and as soon as I saw gameplay of it, and saw that it was only $5, I knew I had to get it, and 90 hours of playtime later, I can safely say that it's perhaps the best five dollars I've ever spent.

One of my favorite types of games are games that are simple to learn, difficult to master, and rank you on how well you did. One Finger Death Punch, Flappy Bird, Spin Copters, Electronic Super Joy, all of them very simple (and cheap) games that I've put more hours in than I've put into any other type of game. But like every game, even one as good as I think One Finger Death Punch is, there were some hiccups.

What I liked about the game:

- Flexible difficulty: 1FDP is the only game I've come across so far that has such a flawless, seamless method of adjusting its difficulty level to player skill. If you were able to clear a level with little effort, it upped the speed a tad. If you did alright, it kept you as is. If you lost, or just -barely- beat it, it stepped you down a tad. There's still that "Easy > Normal > Hard" mechanic in the form of the Student, Master, and Grandmaster difficulties, which don't take you under a certain speed, but the flexibility remains, and it is pretty much perfect.

- Shadow enemies: If an enemy design in a game as simple as 1FDP can make you -nervous- when you encounter it, that is excellent design, and the "shadow enemies" encountered in the later stages of Master, and nearly all the stages of Grandmaster are exactly that. Most enemies have an indicator below them that shows what order you need to click them in order to defeat them, and a color that corresponds to this order. Shadow enemies have neither, and because of this, it's nerve-wracking whenever you encounter them, because you don't know how many hits it'll take to defeat them, or whether or not they'll change sides. That sense of uncertainty adds a greater depth of challenge to an already very challenging game.

- Atmosphere: It's a two-dimensional, two-button beat-em-up. The main character is a plain white, indescript stickman. The only variety between enemies is color, and sometimes a hat. And still, the game manages to make you feel like you're Bruce Lee, with an amazing soundtrack in the background, and an endless array of lightspeed punches kicks, blood, sound effects, bodies flying into the air, stuff breaking, exploding, collapsing, etc. And when it's all over, you can't help but take a deep breath at how epic it was, especially when you just got a perfect round.

- Forking Progression: Progression in 1FDP is not linear in the sense that there is only one clearly-placed way to go, and if you're having trouble on a level, you just have to keep attacking it over and over and over until you finally win. 1FDP's, levels fork off into various paths in the middle, such that at any given time, you could have up to five or six levels available at one time to play. The forks taper back into a linear progression near the end, which I feel is appropriate, but the multitudes of forking paths in the middle was stunningly impressive to me.

Now, for what I didn't like:

- The Tutorial Levels: 1FDP is an incredibly simple game. It's so simple that the first six or so levels that -constantly- stop the gameplay in order to beat incredibly obvious mechanics into your skull, are completely redundant and unnecessary. From the first second of the first level, just by -glancing- at my character, and the oncoming enemy, I knew exactly what I had to do, which made it very annoying to me when everything kept pausing in order to waste time explaining it. Oh, the enemy with TWO bars underneath him takes TWO hits to defeat? You don't say! It irks me when games treat their players like they're idiots, especially games as simple as this one.

- Wasted Design Opportunities: I feel like SDG dropped the ball in a few places in terms of designing mechanics, particularly, weapon design. There are two categories of weapon: melee and ranged, and three types of weapons for each category, sword, staff, and club for melee, arrow, dagger, and bomb for ranged. And other than the melee throw special, which, unless you take the Throw Weapon skill, you'll only see about 20% of the time, -all- the weapons in either given category do the -exact- same thing. Every ranged weapon gives you a one-hit kill. Every melee weapon extends your hit range. I feel like SDG could have done more with the weapons without compromising the simplicity of the game. Have staff weapons increase the range, have swords do two points of damage per hit, have clubs knock enemies back into the enemy behind them when they kill them, stalling that side of the screen for a moment. And something similar for the ranged weapons. As it is, it's not bad at all, but I just feel like it could have been -better-.

This extends to the types of available levels as well. There's literally no difference between Light Sword rounds and Nunchaku Rounds besides color scheme and the obvious use of different weapons. And while those levels are -awesome-, they could have been done better, differently, to add a touch more variety.

Overall, despite the annoying, needless idiot test at the very beginning of the game, and the wasted design opportunities, this is an absolutely amazing game for its price, and I'd give it an easy 9.7/10. Get it. You won't regret it.

This game is 10x better if you are playing with Donkey Konga Bongos

This is not a joke, I'm serious.

OFDP is a stupid amount of fun. It oozes personality, which is great if you don't mind extremely over-the-top Pan-Asian kung-fu stylings, complete with a very exaggerated Mr. Miyagi voice guiding you through the levels. I love it, myself, but I could see some people wincing at it, just a bit. I have a long history of giddily watching hordes of nameless dudes get bent by the likes of Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, etc, and if that's you as well, you'll be re-enacting your favorite fight scenes in your head by the first few very very fast levels in this game. If you can get through a whole session of play without pulling even a little Bruce Lee yell after you finish one of the stages then I'm not sure I want to know you.

Two buttons. Two buttons is all it takes, if you have a game that has: surgeon-like responsiveness, incredible sound effects, simple but effective enemy styles, a ridiculous amount of fun and varied levels, great level music that adds the perfect touch to the kung-fu atmosphere but never terribly gets in the way... I could go on but what I'm trying to say is, this is a damn well put together piece of game. You can sort of tell how obsessive the devs were about nailing the gameplay, like mental patient obsessive, like crazy genius inventors living in a weird creepy tower obsessive, and I'm so glad they were. On another planet they'd be curing cancer but here they're making this game! Praise Jesus. Yes, on first glance it looks like a Newgrounds game. Who cares? It's brilliant. Play it.

Delightfully high paced, high violence, high intensity simple game anyone can get into. Well worth the $5 price tag as it is as pleasurable way to casually kill an hour or two. You will probably break your mouse if you play it too much as you learn to click faster than any normal human being should. This game will prove Darwin correct, but likely leave many generations with oddly dexterous left and right clicking ability. Evolve today! And ensure the next generations mutant abilities.

Oh my god this game is like you click left and right but you're like doing Arkham City stuff flipping punches and throwing blades and being all WAAAATAAAAA and slamming punks in the jaw and impaling them on your sword which is probably a sexual metaphor because the word IMPALED just slams on the screen when you do it and then you get a lightsaber which is called something not copyrighted and you're all ZOOM and SHWOOOM and SLIIIIICE and stick figures fly all over the place in gorey toilet mascot violence and then the boss shows up and you beat him but then another boss shows up and you're like I GOT THIS and he has like 20 inputs and you get each input right and you're like I'M FREAKING LIKE WATER FLOWING AND PERFECT LIKE THAT BRUCE LEE QUOTE and then you're left on your last health and you're like I'M DONE but no the BLOODY HEAVENS PART IN ORCHESTRAL BLISS and the GOLDEN BLADE OF HEAVEN falls into your grasp while all enemies inch away in fear and you're all I DO NOT NEED TWO COINS FOR THE RIVER STYX, BECAUSE YOUR BODIES WILL BE MY BRIDGE TO HADES' DOORSTEP

Had this on Desura for a long time. Really fun game. Don't let the Silver Dollar Games name put you off (they made tons of crappy XBLIG, specifically so they could eventually make this game) as this is a well put together gem. You can use the keyboard or a controller (which I think is new, but don't quote me on that) and you literally only use two keys. Simple as pie, but hard as hell.
