I like how simple it is

Developer

Thanks! :)

Submitted

Simple but fun. Good pixel art. Also cool sound effect. I really enjoyed playing it. Come to check my game as well.

Developer

Thanks for playing my game. I checked out your game... super fun!

Not bad, I was a little confused at first but it's really easy to understand how to play, the AI feels pretty lifelike, good job!

Submitted

sort of a Multiplayer... I really like the Idea and game is also nice.... 

Submitted

Nice work. I'm just missing the insults.

Really good AI coding with getting food on low health. Occasionally the collisions with the trees felt a bit weird. Did you make the shape a polygon or capsule? Still, cool game.

Developer

Lol on the insults! I will think about one for the post jam version.

The collision shape for a tree is a rectangular polygon that just covers the trunk of the tree so it looks like there is depth when you walk through a bunch of trees.

Thanks for the playing and the feedback!

Submitted

Great work! Really sold the psuedo-multiplayer feel and it felt pretty polished too. nice work.

Developer

Thanks for playing and I tried your game too!

Submitted

This is the true .io game experience, great job! The AI also feels well implemented.

Developer

Thanks for your comments! I enjoyed your game too!

Submitted

i was actually debating whether or not this was real multiplayer lol. You did an excellent job selling the idea! Even though the graphics and audio could be a bit better, this was a pretty fun and solid experience, great job! :)

Developer

Thanks for playing and the feedback and thanks for the rating too!

Submitted

It was a great experience. I felt like I really was playing online so you did a good job with the IA. Congratulations!

Developer(+1)

Glad to hear it was an enjoyable experience. Thank you!

Submitted

Simple but fun combat system, nice AI and that combat log really makes you feel like you are engaged in some hot multiplayer action. Cool :)

Developer

Thank you for playing! :)

Submitted

its a neat little "multiplayer" game but on my first try i got a score of 111 and the bots ai is okay with varying objectives which is neat and finally the AI preform pretty much what a perfect controller user would which isn't too bad

overall neat concept.

Developer

Nice one on the score! I don't think I ever made it up to 111. Thanks for playing.

Submitted

I really enjoyed the game! I would love to see what this game could become with some more time & mechanics!

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it. Let's see how a post comp version goes!

Honestly really enjoy this one! Even if it's just a game of footsies in the end, I feel a simple system like this could end up REALLY promising for an actual sort of multiplayer IO game! With just a little customisation to the knights, some extra polish here and there, I would absolutely love to see this with some real online functionality someday.

(And hey, if it weren't for the description and the names, you probably could've fooled me on the multiplayer anyway!)

Developer

Hey thanks for the nice feedback! Glad you enjoyed it. I did have a bunch of ideas that I would like to explore in a post jam game that I just ran out of time with this jam. 

Submitted

I agree with TheStaticVoids. This has real potential for a multi-player IO game. A few different weapons, - loot etc.. - would be a winner. I thought this was really good. Good job!

Developer

Thanks for playing my game! It gives me motivation to continue developing it.

Great!

Developer

Tried to rate your game too but unfortunately my macbook has problems :(

Yeah I was a bit under stress when it came to the build, couldn't set build settings properly. I try to enhance when rating is over!
