Best bits: This is an amusingly morbid variation on a classic genre in the sports game that reminds me of early NES games. Local two-player co-operative games are a great idea to explore how to create competitive game mechanics without having to get too technical with an AI. 

Ideas: There's a great  foundation here to build on a sports game. Think about about how games like Pong keep the pace of the game fast and fair. How could the puck behave to help keep the movement more consistent? And what could happen when a point is scored to make it fairer?  

Thanks for submitting this game to the jam!

This was a promising game! I like the idea of 2v2 co-op hockey and destroying the other team quite literally to score points sounds very cool. I really hope that you come back to this once the jam is over, I think there is a lot of promise!

Thank you so much for your comment. I wish we managed to get a little bit more done. We were thinking of continuing on the game, so thanks for the words of encouragement!!

I like the idea of the game and the sliding effects make it seem like real ice. It was a bit hard to play tho, but still cool.  Please add some sounds the next time, they make a whole difference and give a atmosphere. 

I appreachiate your way of thinking. I didnยดt know how to combine these themes by myself, just impressed of what you wanted to do.

Thanks. It was a challenge. I appreciate that. Sound would have been the next thing to be added, but trying to get the other mechanics working was proving difficult. I appreciate the comment :)

Cool game. I actually had a very similar idea at first. losing limbs to hit people with, except that mine was about basketball. The idea is a lot of fun, obviously the game isn't finished yet, but with some improvements this could be a really fun mulriplayer game, like overcooked but different. But I have to say the collisions of the players feel a bit off some times. but I still had fun playing this with a friend.


Great game. keep it upโ™ฅ
