Chaotic but fun :)

This was great fun! It also feels like something I could play with someone on a trip.

A neat little game. I wish I had someone to play it with. :P

Submitted

This was great! I had a blast playing this with my room mates

Submitted

I played this alone, but I still think it was fun ^^ Very clear instructions. Good job!

Unique idea! a multiplayer version to play with friends would be quite cool.

Submitted

Great concept! I can see this working as a fun party minigame.

Sadly didn't have anyone to play co-op with, but was able to play around with it a bit pretending to be two people. I think it has really solid mechanics, and the tutorial's well set up. Usually I get frustrated by tutorials, but this one wasn't bad (probably because it lets you play with the controls while also letting you skip ahead)

If I get a chance to play it again with someone this week I'll pop back in and update my comment!

I've seen multiplayer games like this, but not competitive ones! Linking the two players' movements allows for some really cool starts for keeping yourself safe while ensuring the other player's death. New maps and online multiplayer would be cool for a post-jam update!

Cool! This being a versus game made it quite interesting. I could see there being some neat strategies in order to play it well. 

Developer

Thanks! Yeah, I found some fun strategies develop; for example, trying to pin your opponent against a wall :)

Very fun little game. I really like the idea and simplicity of graphics (and cool font choice btw). Would be great if it has some sounds but it is not really a big problem here especially for a jam game.

Thanks NikitaKart! I was so excited when I found the font lol (it's Major Mono Display on Google Fonts if you want to check it out).

Thanks zyugyzarc! I'm so excited you could see yourself playing my game for hours! :)

Submitted

That is an amazing concept! Lots of potential strategy like holding the other player in front of obstacles, and it is one of those games that is intuitive and easy to pick up.

I would pay for a polished version of this game.

Developer

Thank you so much Slacker Studios! I'm glad you had fun playing my game :)

Submitted

Really fun game! With more variety to the hazards I think it could have some potential!

Developer

Thanks Sydmen! :)
