An anime-style 3D fighting game — and the rollback engine behind it.
The game proves the engine works. Everything built for the game goes into the engine.

The Game

AnimeRumble is a 3D fighter with anime-style combat: hitstop that makes every punch land, moves defined as data, and online play that feels like offline. Bring your own character. The engine handles the rest.

The Engine

Built on Godot 4.7. Designed so that any 3D fighting game can run on it — not just AnimeRumble.

• Deterministic simulation: same inputs, same result, on every machine.
• Rollback netcode: inputs predicted, then corrected. Online plays like offline.
• Hitstop: impact freezes that give every hit its weight.
• Data-driven moves: moves are data, not code.
• Data-driven effects: presentation only, never touch the simulation.
• Stage interactions: in progress.
