Thank you to everyone who joined us and had some fun battling at Evo!! Your support means the world, and this being the first major exposure to the game was a very joyful experience.

Call to any playtesters! A new version of Battle Dudes has been posted, and testing would be greatly appreciated in the leadup to EVO. Play here! jay-ts.itch.io/battle-dudes

To add some extra intensity and tension to the end of rounds, there is now a "fast" version of all the character themes when at low health. #battledudes #indiedev

EX Dude's extreme speed and mobility allow him to turn up a match's pace to 11, but his volatility makes him unreliable if you don't have the round momentum in your favor. #battledudes #indiedev

A match video between EX Y and Star. EX Y's armor can prove difficult to deal with against those who want to get away quickly. Your best bet? Survive. #battledudes #indiedev

A match video between EX Star and Bill. Two versatile characters, but one has the projectiles at the ready, whereas the other has the speed and range to get up close and personal. #battledudes #indiedev

It's official! Battle Dudes is coming to @evo.gg 2026 in Vegas! We got a lot to prepare, so expect more content soon. In the meantime, play the current build and see what you think! youtu.be/EUGF0R6sRqI?...

The Indie Dev Gallery returns for #Evo2026! Click the link below to learn more about the 12 independent fighting games that will be featured with playable builds this year.

With many improvements made to EX testcat's Insane Flight mode, it now has a much improved all-around game and many new combos are unlocked. #BattleDudes #indiedev

With the use of a special code while selecting K2, you'll see that he is not anywhere to be seen... Chlo is left alone. Is she well equipped to do combat with such fierce fighters? Maybe not, but she has heart. #BattleDudes #indiedev

There is a quick hotfix version of Battle Dudes now (v1.31) that has some quick bug fixes. Also, there is a feedback survey for those who have tested and want to have an easy way to share their thoughts on the game: forms.gle/mssHaYXyUrqw... Enjoy!

To celebrate a Happy New Year 2026 with you all, here's a surprise update! It adds Jin to the roster, adds more single player content, as well as bug fixes and more polish of course. Enjoy and let's make 2026 great! Download: jay-ts.itch.io/battle-dudes

Battle Dudes' antagonist Jin seeks to end humanity with his otherworldly abilities. With high damage attacks, complete control over his flames, and very swift movement, he stands unchallenged by those who dare oppose him. #indiedev #battledudes

A new #BattleDudes build has been released! New characters, modes, and overall a lot more content for you all to enjoy. Download: jay-ts.itch.io/battle-dudes

Meet Bill, a dangerous assassin for hire who stops at nothing to ensure his target remains six feet under. He is usually quick, snappy and efficient, but his EX variant is slow, methodical and damaging. New #BattleDudes build drops November 14th!

Here's a match between testcat and his EX counterpart. Both being wonky characters, they'll use their oddball movement and tools to win. Are testcat's setplay fireballs going to give him enough momentum, or are EX testcat's flight shenanigans too much? #indiedev #battledudes

Basic Type testcat's damage certainly rises above the other characters. #indiedev #battledudes

Neat little advertisement image. Don't know where to use it, but maybe as a quick way of showing off some surface-level features? Probably gonna pair it with a new trailer too.

Here are all the current Challenge games in Battle Dudes! There are 5 of them, and they are played either in Arcade Mode as a way to rack up points, or in the Challenge Mode section, where you can attain a high score. Any suggestions for more? #indiedev #gamedev

testcat in action! The moveset of testcat is fairly varied; it can fit many styles, particularly a set-play one with the Awesome hairball special and Marvelous command grab special. His cr.HP hurts, and his counter hit combos can leave you in the dust! #battledudes #indiedev

Here is a showcase of all the training options in Battle Dudes' robust training mode. There is a lot, but better to have too much rather than too little! Do you think some training options/features are missing? If so, let us know! #indiedev #battledudes

Introducing a new character to the Battle Dudes Battlefield... testcat! An unknown creature with knowledge from another land, stumbling his way into Battle Dudes. He will have to use his (lack of) brain cells to find his way back, and maybe beat people up along the way.

They don't quite get along well... Who will win? K2's all-around technical power, or Star's offensively great but defensively lacking power? Or is the creator just bad at his own characters? #indiedev #battledudes

a Dude video but its an old CMV recorded in 2009

You can fight in more ways than fists here. Battle Dudes features several fun and familiar brain games that can make the overall game experience more fun. A beta with new minigames and challenge modes will be out soon... And new characters, perhaps. #battledudes #indiedev

A new Battle Dudes beta is out! It adds a Gallery Mode and some gameplay tweaks. Enjoy! Download: jay-ts.itch.io/battle-dudes #battledudes #indiedev #fgc

Here are EX Kan's combo trials! Being a character that has many target combos and attack sequences, his combos might seem easy, but the number of sequences to memorize and execute might be tricky. Good luck! #battledudes #indiedev #gamedev youtu.be/UJsKmQAv9CU

Here are EX K2's combo trials! The assist mechanic he gets allows for some long, precise, and cool-looking links, but beware of some more complex inputs needed to complete these trials. Good luck! #battledudes #indiedev #gamedev youtu.be/QBOCTWVXRTA

Here are EX Star's combo trials! She is flashy, with aerial routes and juggles that other characters do not have, as they are on the more traditional side. Good luck! #battledudes #fgc #indiedev youtu.be/psMfOZKUsb0

Here are EX Oboe's combo trials! While most of his dangerous combos are corner only, his fireball game alone provides him with extremely variable but difficult links. Good luck! #battledudes #indiedev #gamedev youtu.be/Tv49R-A06Gc

Here are EX Y's Combo Trials! EX Y has a little but more going for him in terms of combos compared to his normal counterpart, but that also comes with the added difficulty of several tricky links and juggles. Good luck! #battledudes #indiedev #gamedev youtu.be/pbg_DGv4C8I

It has now been a little over 3 weeks since the public build has been published, how are you feeling about Battle Dudes so far?

Here is a quick video showing Battle Dudes' EX characters, what to know about them, and most importantly, how to select them. #fgc #battledudes #indiedev youtu.be/rBOgAP8OLbo

Here are Kan's combo trials! He has the hardest combos out of everyone thus far. His constant links and stance cancels will provide a decent challenge for anyone picking him up. #indiedev #fgc #battledudes youtu.be/xdfMEDjEXek

Here are K2's combo trials! As a technical puppet character, he may not have the easiest combos, but they sure do hurt. His daughter Chlo Letha also puts a beating on the opponent when she gets involved. Good luck! #fgc #battledudes #indiedev youtu.be/AwCKvxbrP6Y

Here are Oboe's combo trials! As a charge character, these combos will teach you how to strategically buffer your charge during specific moves with varying difficulty. Good luck! #battledudes #fgc #indiedev youtu.be/gkVvHteHDCw

Combo flow with @battledudes.bsky.social

Here are Star's combo trials! Though she seems simple on the surface with magic series combos, she has some tricky juggles and air combos that have variable timing and are quite rewarding. Good luck! #fgc #indiedev #battledudes youtu.be/4lbMVe7qycA

Here are Y's combo trials! Though there aren't many due to Y being a grappler, what Y does have hurts a lot. Good luck! #battledudes #fgc #indiedev youtu.be/UsqpcdEjfBk?...

Here are Dude's combo trials! As the main guy, his combos are simple, but still offer a challenge. Good luck! #fgc #indiedev #battledudes youtu.be/YEKXECHpsQc

Dude has some combos. @battledudes.bsky.social

A Battle Dudes fight between Dude and Star in the game's Party Battle mode. You can see how important some of these bonuses/nerfs are and how they can change the game. Just hope you feel lucky! #fgc #indiedev #battledudes

An intense Battle Dudes round between Oboe and EX Oboe. This is a fun take on the zoner vs zoner matchup. The Oboes have deadly whiff punish games, especially against bad fireballs. They also have a kara cancellable b+LK/MK and can store their supers. #indiedev #fgc #battledudes

A showcase of one of Battle Dudes' minigames, the Dudepusher. You must push the boxes to the designated red spots, and the puzzles get more tricky as you advance through the levels. #indiedev #fgc #battledudes

An abridged Battle Dudes fight between two very technical characters in Kan and K2. Though K2 has the range and offense to put Kan away, Kan's superior defense and whiff punish combos can give him the edge. #indiedev #fgc #battledudes

Battle Dudes is live on bluesky! With an unrelenting pace, rich mechanics, and various unique characters, Battle Dudes is made for fanatics of the fighting game genre while also providing plenty of single player content for more casual enjoyers. Download: jay-ts.itch.io/battle-dudes
