Welcome to the GOLUAH!! Fan site!
This is currently a WIP but i do hope you like it!
What is Goluah!!?
Goluah!! is a fighting game developed in by aki and tai for the 2channel Mona board.
It's a 4 button fighting game that features: multiple battle formats, you can have up to 3 vs 3 fighters at the same time (cooperation), with Switchable characters ala Marvel Vs Capcom (Changeable) or as assist only ala king of fighters (UnChangeable),
It features customizable moveset for each characters, multiple types of story modes from standard arcade fighters to custom stories that make you play a set of characters to even having custom choices or events happening if the player wins or looses a match,
it features support for 2D and 3D stages and all of this is wrapped up with it being incredibly Moddable, featuring custom characters, Stages, stories and more!
In 2004 aki retired and developement was moved to Atsushi who worked on it until 2010 now with Logger having the hands on deck.
Goluah!! controlls range from A B C being Light, Medium and heavy, with D being Special (Mostly to handle tag and character switch respectively.)
it features 7 characters:
- Mona
- Moralar (written as Morara)
- Giko
- Shii (written as C)
- Hattoushin Mona (written as 8Mona)
- Onigiri (written as wassyoi)
- Zonu
Where Can i Download it?
There are Multiple versions of the game, the wiki lists four of them,
but the latest version that is out is 1.23.12, you can download it through Diced.jp page
or the Internet Archive Mirror
(Note you will have to press the 448 files button to download it then just grab the goluah1_23_12 folder, the rest you can ignore!),
if you want to download the Source code, you can check in Logger's Github
Note that you might notice some weird text but it's fine, as the game can run without Japanese Locale (but it's probably better if you do.)
If you want to download Custom characters/stages/stories, you can check the Japanese GOLUAH!! wiki.
Do keep in mind that everything is in Japanese, so get a translator handy in order to navigate it.
Is there a translation of the story?
Not officially, but i have made a page translating all of story mode stuff in this page
How can i change the controlls?
You want to run the config.exe file located in game folder, open it (with japanese locale preferably).
You wanna go to the second menu on the top side, then on the center, click the top left button to set up your keyboard binds, or the bottom left for the controller binds.
Once done, Press the X on the top right side of the window to apply the stuff, if you want to reset everything to default press the bottom right button.
