About this game
Dual Combat is a quirky puzzle-action game, where you must defeat an enemy that copies your every move. Are you smart enough to outsmart yourself?
Despite disagreeing on which pancake topping is the best, the Raspberry and Blueberry armies have lived together in peace. That is until the Blueberries' beloved pancake chef is kidnapped! Journey across enemy lines to rescue Chef Lupe and save the Weekend Pancake Brunch from being cancelled.
“For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.” - Some guy named Isaac
In Dual Combat the player controls both soldiers synchronously, meaning that for every action you perform the enemy performs it too. Use this to your advantage as you expose your enemy on the battlefield and knock them out, but watch out - one wrong move and it's game over for you.
Blast, punch, and “block” your way across Nomansland as you conquer various puzzles using unique weapons and objects.
Unlock fun cosmetics as you progress through the game and complete special challenges. You may not always win, but at least you can go down in style! 💅✨

Dual Combat Patch Notes - September 19, 2026
Dual Combat has been updated to version 1.1.1! The following adjustments have been made:Improvements🔵 Interact icon is now transparent for better visibility🔵 Improved projectile collision with mirrorsNote: Projectiles would originally snap to the center of the mirror when reflecting off of them. In retrospect, it feels janky in action (and looks kind of weird). Projectiles now reflect at the point of collision and will reflect based on which side of the mirror they hit. Hopefully this will make levels with mirrors feel better to play. Bugfixes🔵Fixed issue where menus would not display correctly at lower resolutions🔵Fixed bug where boomerang could drop into weapon crates and floor buttons Stay tuned for more updates in the future!Read full article on Community Announcements (Nugget Software)AnnouncementsOfficial
The Future of Dual Combat + Demo Release
It’s well past Halloween so it’s time for an update. Time sure flies, doesn’t it?The past few months have been busy for me, having to realign the priorities in various aspects of my life. Dual Combat’s post-release has unfortunately been affected by this.I have made the decision to put Dual Combat’s content roadmap on indefinite hold. Currently I don’t have the time to commit to a full-fledged roadmap, and I would rather temper players’ expectations instead of keeping them in limbo. However, don’t be surprised if you see random updates drop here and there. There are still things I would love to try and add to the game!Even though the roadmap is on hold, there's still something new to share! Starting today, a demo of Dual Combat will be available to try on Steam. This demo features the tutorial stage and a selection of three levels from the first zone in the game. In addition, the price of the game is dropping to the new low price of $4.99.I hope players will look forward to trying Dual Combat and the unique experience it has to offer.Bijan P.Chief Nugget at Nugget SoftwareRead full article on Community Announcements (Nugget Software)Patch NotesOfficial
