A throwback arcade-style fighting game

Super Pillow Fight is a fighting game that depicts matchups from the fictitious “1982 Women’s Pillow Fight Championship” in Boca Raton. Like fighting games before it, such as Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter 2, Super Pillow Fight pits fighters against each other for the ultimate showdown and a chance to proceed to the next level.

Super Pillow Fight stands out from the rest because of its commitment to camp. When scrolling through the 20 character designs with special moves and unique fireball attacks, you’ll notice that each one is wildly different from the last. Each new stage also reveals a new twist to keep the game entertaining.

What are the game controls like?

Super Pillow Fight provides you with more than just your fists to battle your foes, unlike many other fighting games. Controls are mapped to two different attacks using a pillow and two kick attacks. There are also the PF Smash and PF Summon that use the “MegaMeter.”

While the controls scheme is standard, collision detection is hit or miss; some attacks that are clearly visible won’t register, while others that don’t land anywhere near your opponent will knock them to the ground.

Who can play Super Pillow Fight?

Due to the violence depicted in the majority of the game, Super Pillow Fight may not be appropriate for young audiences. For teens, young adults, and older, it’s a fun throwback in both gameplay style and aesthetics that are more fun than violent.

With 20 different characters to choose from, there is a fighter to match nearly everyone’s style. Each character is also equipped with a unique fireball attack that will have them throwing anything from a slice of pizza to a wrench.

A wacky take on combat games

Super Pillow Fight is a game that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Instead, it aims to be a pastiche of 80s arcade games, from its controls down to the art style. What it lacks in technical proficiency is made up for in the fun and entertainment it provides.
