There's quite a lot of things to do in this game. It's tough to really know where you might want to go or what you want to do, or if you've done the things the floor panels say. Controls were a bit uncertain, sometimes I would go through a barrier suggesting I'd get a javelin, but, seemingly no javelin? You could display those controls in game, rather than just on the title screen, and having UI elements that inform on eg how jump height works would probably allow me to better understand how the everything all fits together. A fairly confused 2p playground.

[x/p from thread] Very prototype-y, the "game" aspect isn't there yet and it's a bit confusing just being thrown in there with all these event zones and stuff.  I'm not quite sold on the jump/windup system but maybe I'm overlooking something.  But the ragdoll thing is cute!

Fun game and liked how much variety you were able to add in, in such a short time. The ragdoll physics for the characters were great and made it really fun to play just to see the characters move around. 

Would have liked to have had a one player option so I could just practice everything without needing a second person.

My favourite thing was definitely the javelin throwing which was satisfying.

Thanks for taking the time to play and comment. Will take all advise into consideration if I continue working on this.
