Bootsies is a pure 1D fighting game with a handmade retro aesthetic that emphasizes reading your opponent, precise spacing, and making bold moves to outplay opponents. Play as a colorful cast of cute boot-clad fighters determined to shape their planet's future. Steel-toe yourself and BOOT UP!

Bootsies is designed so that anyone can pick it up and start outplaying any opponent within minutes, but experienced players versed in fundamentals will stay endlessly engaged in intense battles rich with layers of spacing, reads, and adaptation.

Bootsies uses an intuitive button scheme with no directional inputs! That means you can even play this game one-handed!

The core of the gameplay is built around the neutral triangle structure common to all fighting games. Bootsies hones in on this tense dance of rock-paper-scissors at its very heart, and takes it to new depths!
