How to start the game
1. Extract the package into any folder you like. Please make sure there are only English characters in the folder path.
2. Run "AOB.exe" to start the game.
3. For the first time, you may need to allow Windows to download and install DirectPlay. You should be able to start the game afterwards.

*If the game still refuses to start, or the game window appears then disappears quickly, please scroll down and see further set up instructions.

How to use controllers / joysticks
The game should be able to read controllers / joysticks by default.
However, we strongly recommend using JoyToKey or equivalent tools to translate controller inputs into keyboard inputs.
As for key binding, please refer to the game manual included in the package:

If the game doesn't start
You may need a few more setups depending on the Windows you are using:
For Win10: Turn on "DirectPlay"

Good work!
Thank you! Glad you like this game
tengo una pregunta ¿que tipo de nuevo personaje traera la 1.7?
ya ise la encuesta y no me quedo claro
gracias por su esfuerzo
We're working on new characters for sure, but for now it's not yet time to reveal them
You can follow our Twitter for latest update
tengo una pregunta ¿cuanto tiempo tendremos que esperar para la 1.7?
opinion de el juego: es increible para que pese tan poco y sea tan bueno se merese el mayor apoyo, todavia soy un niño y no los puedo ayudar con una donacion pero si pudiera ya lo hubiese ello.
Thank you for your support! Currently we're still working on our free time, so the progress is gonna be a bit slow. We'd appreciate your patience.
How can I get the soundtrack of this game? It's amazing.
Our soundtracks are coming from free online resources DOVA-Syndrome, and this is the playlist where we found most of the tracks
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2vyqKNLXiUpXXGm2y4oznBcQTsKQJCzA&si=xqKCGYoj...
You can find a lot more high quality tracks there too
AAh and the tap dash combo mode was amazing!!
I shared it with some friends who also really liked it.
Hello, I'm from Brazil and I really like fighting games.
I discovered this game by chance and I confess that I really liked it!!
It's really fun to play, seriously, I enjoyed it.
It has a zipped file and it looks like the password is:
Present by Border Violation
Well, I couldn't unpack it, what is it about???
And there will be more in the game, characters in online mode, what do you plan?
Success to the team!
Glad you enjoy the game!
As of v1.6, there shouldn't be any passwords on the zip. If you're playing the one with password then you're on the older version (v1.5). Maybe you'll want to try the newest version and see the differences.
For now, we're working on new contents such as characters and stages. As for online mode, unfortunately it's impossible for us to implement it in this ancient engine (2DFM). There's an online play plugin called LilithPort written for 2DFM games, but we usually use Parsec instead.
Fighting against Elvi on Hell mode is literally impossible. Love this game Kay is my favorite character.
Glad you like the game!
THE FINAL OF THE HARD MODE WITH YINAN IS SO CUTE I LOVE IT
Congratulations! Thank you for playing Yinan!
I found a bug with the final BV of Elvi
Only the rocket no appears and Elvi freezes, this bug only happens when CPU use yinan
I won by time and the game continue to the next battle
the bug only appear when you play Elvi, the CPU can use the final BV with normally
HASTA LA VISTA BABY...
Have you been running the game for a rather long time when this happened?
The engine may start to act weird(including stuff goes missing) after running for certain time. If that happens, restarting the game should fix the problem.
Thank you, the game is so funny and the new hard mode is too good :)
Glad you like it! Hope you find the unlock at the end ;)
Why when I open the game it runs correctly, but when I press start the game it closes? and after the crash, the ".exe" of the game disappears
can you help me? (only in the 1.6 version, the 1.5 version works correctly)
Did you see the title screen? Which mode did you choose that it crashed?
Yes i see the tittle, i choose the single mode, but when I was going to choose yinan the crash happened.
I can play after several tries, but there is always a chance of crash, maybe a 30 minutes of game until the crash
This we're not sure about the cause, as we've never had this problem before.
There're few things you can try
the game is working now, i guess the problem was from my computer, no one else complained about this crash, thank you so much i love this game :3
why the file is going failed forbidden
Please make sure you copy the password below to unzip the file:

Just featured your game. I recognize your hardwork.
Thank you for covering AoB! Glad you like it!
Whats the unlock password? its blank.
Unpack password:

can you bring a version for android??
It's pretty unlikely as the engine is too old.
THIS IS SO CUTE :(
Haha, yes, the canine(?) friends
They've met before in our previous game SCWU (Super Cosplay War Ultra)
One of my favorite games, still playing sometines. Few minutes ago found out you are doing new fighting game (current).
Hope you also like AoB!
kay scares me
Good to know. This means she's doing a great job!
Cant access versus. Cant even move twice at the start menu
Please avoid pressing start in character select screen, as this may mess up the game (an unsolvable bug of an ancient engine)
Restart the game should fix the problem.
Also if you're using joystick or gamepad, it's highly recommended to use programs that translates gamepad input into keyboard input (e.g. joy2key)

i finally beat elvi in single play, i see this as an absolute win
Congrats!
Now try Erus and Zeiko single play. *wink*
Thank you! You may want to check our AOB Tips videos for more tips and trivia about each character:

When I tried to extract the files a error message pup up saying that there is missing files.
Please make sure the download is finished and the password is correct.
For the password, you can copy and paste the following:

Are you guys planning to upload this game to any other platforms such as Steam? Because I'm pretty sure it would get a lot more of attention and love from many FG fans.
Thank you for your support!
Since there are so many things to be added to the game, for now we're taking time to work on new contents first.
It keeps asking me about a password idk bout any type of password now I cant open the game
Unpack password: Present by Border Violation
built with unity?
This is a 2D Fighter Maker 2nd (2DFM2) game
it looks good :)
Thanks! Glad you like it
I am trying to play this game with my friend however we are only able to have one round matches is there anyway to change that?
Choose option > game
The first slider from the top is the number of rounds to win in VS mode. It's set to 1 by default.
aoba
the game is fire, love it tho i still don't know how to access the training room like how the instruction told me
Thank you! To turn on training:
Enter VS mode, then press F button on both 1P and 2P controls once.
You should then see "Practice" at the bottom of the screen
thank you so much for the helpful response !
Have fun labbing!
why does it say it needs a password
nvm i see the password
can it be played with an arcade controller
Controllers and joysticks should work
If yours doesn't work, you can use software such as Joy2Key to convert your controller input into keyboard input
ok
hi friend i loved the game and i am visually impaired, the only thing that makes it difficult for me is that when navigating the menu there is no sound when we move with the arrow keys in the options. it would be nice to have a sound when passing the menu with the cursor. thanks! i play the game with his sound! amazing
Thank you for loving our game and your opinion on the game menu! We'll make improvements in the next version
i wish i could play the game but i cant because i dont know how to properley insta the game
You don't need to install it, just run the exe file
oh thanx
It seeems i was missing of dplayx.dll. i dled the missing DLL but got this log instead:
Seems like you didn't enable directplay. Try to enable it in Windows instead of simply downloading the dll file.
(FIXED)
Already did. Restarted a bunch of times. Still the same. I guess it's my machine and it might have some hidden problems somewhere.
EDIT:
I actually left a manually dled dplaxy.dll on there. so i deleted it and it now ran. Problem though is that the words are all on question marks. It seems the language settings aren't set.
The game engine text is written in Japanese. You may want to change the default language to Japanese for "non-unicode apps"(no need to change system language)
You can also check our game manual page 05, 06 if you want to know what the settings are.
whats the password to extract

i'm still can't download this game on win10
Try download it on itch website instead of using itch launcher
I can't have enough of this gameeeee!
Glad to see another FM 2nd creator here!!
Hi! Nice to meet you too!
Aoba.
Yes... She's not in the game anymore.
But she stays in our hearts who played AoB v1.0 and FKF
Hi, anyway to download the old versions? It would be nice to see how the game has progressed and changed. A request to add an Archive section to the site for AoB.
Thank you,
Mfinite
Thanks for your interest!
We decided to pull down v1.0 for now since the BGMs may have some license issues.
But here's a playlist where you can see some videos from v1.0 era:

Oi pode ttrazer uma versão para Android?? Por favor
Unfortunately, this engine is designed to make games for Windows only
Do you guys have your own discord? If not, I could go ahead and make one. The community for this game needs a place to gather up if you want to achieve an active player base. This game has loads of potential and I'd like to see it grow.
Thank you! We've just started up a discord as we uploaded AoB v1.5
https://discord.gg/8PPNKjsFD
Thanks a lot!
If you're stuck at character selection(single or vs), restarting the game should fix it.
If you've entered the selection screen, try not to press pause and return to main menu. The game tends to get bugged upon re-entering that screen.
If you want to get back to main menu, you would like to do this instead:
Enter a stage > pause > press A,B,C at the same time. This will reset the game properly. Or you simply restart the game.
This game feels amazing, it competes extremely well with current fg market imo. I cant seem to get my dpad to recognize, or change the movement controls though.

Maybe give this a try?
I know it's for Vanguard Princess, but we're using the same engine, so whatever works for VP should also works for AoB(and any FM2K games)
FM2K is such an old, buggy engine that is not getting any official fixes for 10+ years.
However all thanks to VP being so popular, there're lots of recent supports and fixes coming from the community. If you've encounter any engine related problems, your best bet is to search if VP have the same problem :p
That didnt work, but I did some snooping around those forums and found that using joy2key works well, ty
