Really like the idea, found the controls a little confusing but they work well.

I like this concept! One thing I would recommend, make it so only the "good guy" can push. It's a little too easy if all I have to do is have my enemy run face first into knives all by himself. I don't even have to turn much! (Not to mention, why would my worst enemy voluntarily impale himself?)

Interesting concept. Definitely fits the theme in an interesting way. Well done!

Oh wow, it's so weird but actually quite fun ^^ 

The only problem I have with this is how the bad guy is much more durable than our fragile body :c

Awesome Game!!!
Can you play my game?!?

Wow, what a concept. I can honestly say I did not ever expect "two guys tide together trying to indirectly stab one another" to be a game I came across.

That said, I was left kinda wanting. The enemy character is a little more durable than is fun to play, though I did appreciate that he fought you more and more as you went on. There's actually a lot I do like about this game; the cool slowdown effect between dashes is cool and I really can't overstate how much the concept caught me flat-footed. I just wish there was a little more to it.

That was pretty fun to play! Though I find a little unfair that your enemy can withstand a dozen stabs in the chest but you can only take one before dying :p

Once I managed to understand what I was supposed to do I found it really fun! Just wish there were more levels.

i wish the enemy had less hp, winning felt grindy. too grindy.

I like it! With some more time to flesh it out and improve the mechanics it could be really great!
