This is so well executed!! You get a lot of fun out of a pretty straightforward control scheme and with an awesome art style on top of everything!
Thanks for your awesome review <3
Awesome game, couldnt stop playing
Wow, thx <3
The backstory and gameplay is 10/10. The narration is dope as well, but why did you choose Shub-Niggurath as the villain against perfect toast?
Thanks a lot <3
We don't know, Shub-Niggurath chose us ;-) :D
Its a really nice idea, but i feel like the tactics you can use against your opponent are exhausted really fast. Still really cool and i can imagine the gamemakers behind that game :D
But you never know what can hapenned to your cord or where you can you get stucked with the items ;-) :D
And thanks :D And actually only one of us is longhaired bearded dude :D
I actually imagined more like people who are somewhat slim and do judo. Dont ask me why.
This is a 5/5 game, wow. So much work went into this, super impressive, awesome job!
Thanks a lot, mister! <3
Nice job guys you people made a very fun little game, Sound Design was also good. :)
Thanks a lot <3 This is actually the first time when we did some voiceover :-)
This is the type of game me and my brother would play when we were kids. The art is beautiful, and it's amazing that you were able to make this in 48 hours. Good job!
Nostalgic feelings from old Atari games? :)
Thanks a lot for you kind words <3
Interesting ideas and Good music
Thank you! :)
It's nice to see a good multiplayer in the jam. It's functional and enjoyable to play. I wish there was more variety in game modes or in the environment but for a 48-hour game it was pretty darn good. Nice work!
Yeah, we wish too but... 48 hours is 48 hours :D Even less for us because... life :-)
Thanks a lot for the feedback :-)
This game was fun, I liked the concept, the art, and the game play. You guys really nailed the movement.
Thank you very much! <3 <3
I love it! Super fun, great humor!
I had my partner to play it and we had a lot of fun!
Love the art, love the intro!
As said partner, I second this! had a lot of fun chasing/escaping my other half :)
Also props for the Lovecraftian nudge. ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!
Wow, thank you both :-)
When we decided to go with the occult theme, the Cthulhu Mythos was the only right way ;-) :D
Awesome concept! Will definitely have to try it out with two people when I get the chance.
Yes! Please try! Thank you! <3
A masterpiece (I believe)!
The "I believe" is set in brackets because I was sadly only able to play against myself (at least in a meaningful manner) which obviously took most of the fun away but that didn't stop me from enjoying the graphics, story, physics and overall appeal. Beginning with a nice background story is always a good start (especially when monks are involved). The wiggle physics were fun to play around with especially in combination with moving the obstacles around and wiggling with the enemy. In total it seemed also very well polished, I only encountered one bug, which is that the levels loaded after the menu was closed, leaving me some frames in the old level. But other than that I didn't encounter a corner which felt odd/unpolished to me and thus my following conclusion:
10/10, well rather (5/5) x3
Thank you for your awesome review <3
Glad to hear that in the "solo mode" the game is also fun :D
Loved the music and the setting and artstyle. It was great fun playing this co-op
Thanks a lot <3
Funny premise, fun game. Tried playing this with a friend using remote desktop, worked pretty well. Good stuff
Awesome! Thanks a lot! :-)
Very good looking game !
And, the sound design <3
GG to the team !
We all salute to your kind words! Thank you!
Great work! It would be good to see an option for being able to play on your own. I really like it!
Thanks a lot <3
Actually we had some ideas about some solo mode, but no time :-)
Really liked the game, although it is kind of a non-consensual sex simulator X). Awsome presentation and the theme is perfectly respected! Well done.
Thanks but... but... it's about occult things, Old Ones and cables :D
The presentation is very nice, giving the combination of silly and devilish. Gameplay is quite simple, though. Being far into the defender's benefit than the attacker. It just needs extra ideas, along with a way for attackers to have a better chance.
Yep, we were more focused on the more simple idea and polish it more. There were ideas, but not time :-)
But thanks for the feedback <3
Kudos for including an Old One that is not Cthulhu! I really loved the sound design and the music, it would give me chills if the game was a horror instead :D
<3 thank you for you nice words <3
