Co-op mode
Player 2 can join. If you make any of these, let's build a fight together: your name goes in the video and in its description. These are unpaid collaborations: you get the credit and the exposure, not a fee.
Musicians
Every fight has its own score: metal riffs, guitar solos, 1980s synths. Write one, play one, or bring a track.
