    The idea has definitely been tried before, the one I remember being obsessed with and playing non stop was Smash Squad from WG cells (before parent company WarGaming shut them down) there was another one from Gamevil as well but I don't remember that ones name (it was also shut down a short time later from lack of players)

    The games are so eerily familiar, that I thought, as you did, that the developers worked at that studio, can't find any info on this though!

    Either way, Muscle Hustle is my favourite itireation of this style of play. Absolutely love it. It improves on every mechanic from previous incarnations, and i for one think the way they have handled F2P is more than fair! The lack of timers is awesome (I don't count the KO timers as timers)

    My only issue is that the game has certain difficulty spikes that seem really unfair at times, and the AI (OP!) is definitely too good at predicting bounce moves off wall, whereas the average player will struggle to predict more than 1-2 bounces off a wall.

    Props to the Dev :) let's all support this one as much as we can! I can't handle losing this one too!

    Why can't I add more belts to this guy? Bar is clearly not full on Attack and HP but it says I can't put anymore belts on him?

    There are belt caps. Some wrestlers are lower than others for as-of-yet unknown reasons. The bar gets full as you level.

    Belts can boost a wrestler's stats up to a certain percentage above their natural max (from leveling). That level, the "hypermax" is generally natural + 10% but it varies from wrestler to wrestler and... oh man... we're gonna need a wiki. :eek:

    Gah! You're right... I can confirm that's a bug. Sorry about that, we'll have it fixed in the next update.

    Also... wow, you're on 13-11 already?

    Hmm. 14-8 actually. But I’m not particularly proud. Bacteria-yum is to blame. My wrestlers are guilty of doping. *hangs head in shame*

    Without it. I’d probably be stuck somewhere in 12-??. Then again.. there are plenty of people on the leaderboards for the higher levels. So there’s a definite doping culture lol.

    Not to come across wrong, but all of my best wrestlers are women.

    Is this common or just my luck? Would be cool to get some nifty bro wrestlers in the mix too.

    Just your luck. Though to be fair, that’s some luck since there are only 64 wrestlers in total, 79 (64+15) if you count the separate iterations of face/heel superstars, of which a third are women (21 or 21+4). On the plus side. If any of your women have heartbreaker... you’ll definitely be a force. I can’t wait to get Victoria to 5* for mine.

    Hopefully, yes, but we don't have any specific plans yet. We figure that's a country where we'd better get it translated first. Are you in Japan?

    Really Wish We Could See Who We're Wrestling Against

    With all of these "paper-rock-scissor" games out there, it's tough to remember what color beats what, what archetype is strong against what, etc. I'd like to see the chart on all of my screens -- especially when we're fighting a match against specific types of wrestlers -- so I can strategize accordingly. Having it on the pause menu only seems counter-intuitive.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but in the ring, those wrestlers that are weak to your currently selected character, their fist colour at the bottom of the icon flashes at you. I think that’s how you know to attack them if possible.

    Yeah, we're hoping to. Plans are fuzzy though at the moment, I can't say for sure.

    Any plans to ad more wrestlers, tiers, tournaments, modes, etc?

    This game is fantastic.

    An interesting thing to consider as IAP might be a sort of "doubler" of sorts. Not sure where or what you'd double, but it'd be great to throw another $4.99 at you for something that's constant and accelerates everything a little bit perpetually across the board rather than in little bursts here and there.

    I bought the starter pack and as it stands I might buy another gold pack, but that's about it. If you had something like above I'd buy it immediately.

    This game is fantastic!

    Thanks! Yeah, we're already working on more wrestlers and modes. Tiers might come someday, but no specific plans. Nice idea bout a training doubler... will think about that.
