For South Park's tenth anniversary celebration Comedy Central invited us to participate in the creation of a game. The goal was to produce a fight game. Using South Park's art style and characters, and with that goal in mind, we evoked the classic Mortal Kombat.

Several challenges were presented to us on this project. Due to the limited available development time, we had to limit the number of scenarios, characters and their respective moves. In three months we were able to develop 6 scenarios and 10 characters, each one with 4 special moves.

Extra care was put into the selection of the characters and their special moves, so that fans of the TV show would be able to enjoy a great game. Most of the special moves have some relation with some episode of the show.

This was the first fight game we made and we had to put a lot of effort to attain an excellent gameplay with smooth movements and moderate difficulty. The game is one of the most voted at Comedy Central's site.
