StompMatch (Single-File HTML Game)

StompMatch is a retro, pixel-style 2-player split-screen platform brawler made in one HTML file using HTML5 Canvas + JavaScript. Two players share one keyboard, jump around platforms, stomp each other for damage, grab random power-ups, and fight until someone’s health reaches 0.
