This game is more on the competition side since players have to pour all their skills in order to beat the enemy and win. The players of the game are bound to choose a character, the characters available in the game are high school students that are ready to fight the marvel villains. The goal of the developers of this game is for the players to enjoy and be entertained by this game.
The game is playable in any computers or laptops. However, fatal codes cannot be installed or played in a mobile phone.
In playing Fatal Codes, the player of the game is allowed to do aside from the story mode. He can also choose to configure buttons to improve his efficiency in playing, a player versus player game where in he can play with his buddy, training, and a lot more.
Common Questions

What do I control? The player of the game can control and use any playable characters in the game. How many characters do I control? The game allows players to select one of the 6 playable characters. There are 3 main character attack controls and 1 control button which can be used to counter enemy moves.
What is the main focus? The main objective of the game is for the player to find out the anomalies that are happening in the game by defeating the enemies one by one. Whats different? The game is a parody of 2 very different universes combined into one. The 2 universes that were combined were Nasuverse and Marvel (Comic Universe). The game is similar to the famous Marvel versus Capcom but the difference is in the characters that the player is able to choose and play since the characters are high school students and not the typical Marvel or Capcom heroes.

Internet
A copy of the client can be upload to the internet which can be downloaded by others who wish to play the game.
Gaming Sites
Describe what gaming sites you want to support and what technology you intend to use to achieve this. Perhaps Dplay or TCP/IP or whatever. It is probably a good idea to break the tech stuff out into a separate area, you decide.
Saving and Loading

Multplayer games ingame happen for players during the versus mode, but as mugen does not support this. Mugen only saves the settings for configurations. In terms of loading time the game takes just a really small amount of time for so.
