Two pancho-wearing bandits meet up in a desolate desert to engage in a duel to the death. What better way to settle their differences than by playing footsies?

Game developer Luke "A-Rival" Esquivel created a simplistic 2D fighting game entitled Senor Footsies in which players battle for spacing with the use of only two attack buttons and successfully landing one attack will win you the round. Hitting one attack button will give you a fast low kick and hitting two simultaneously will cause the player to perform a sweep.

By default, each character walks backward at all times and holding the Walk button will allow you to move forward and advance on your opponent. This game also retains a super meter that build when you whiff attacks and rewards you with a shot from your pistol once the bar is full.
