About Troublemaker
Troublemaker drops you into an over‑the‑top Indonesian high school where you play Budi, a transfer student fighting his way up the social ladder. The core loop blends classic beat‑‘em‑up action with school life, from battling in the annual Raise Your Gang tournament to hanging out with friends.
Beyond the fights, you can boost Budi’s popularity, spend time with his girlfriend, do homework, and explore the campus for twenty different collectables. The game offers smooth combat, a quirky cast, and a single‑player experience that runs on Windows with full controller support and Steam features.

Combat System
