Wish I had someone to play with.. but cute game I will play it with a friend sometime!
If you dont mind, would you take a look at my game Arcade Boy? I could really use some feedback :)

Very cute and simple game. Controlling the characters felt good. I don't see how it fits with the "There and Back" theme. I bet it would be more fun if I wasn't controlling both characters myself :/ Anyway, Good Job!
nice little game! but i wish it needed some kind of skill in play. because every round the outcome was completely random. so we got bored pretty fast.
overall, good job!
Wife and I just played! Was supposed to be best out of three then she wrecked me in the first two matches so we went best out of 5. Fun multiplayer game with a simple concept. Just a heads up though one round I was player 2 (blue) and was ahead by 3 points, but still lost. Something to look into!
I'm glad you and your wife enjoyed it.
also my sisters found this bug too but I didn't manage to recreate it myself (and I am the programmer)
I totally know how it feels! I've had a few people report a dialogue bug in my game (am the programmer) where the talker's portrait swaps but I can't seem to recreate it myself!
Really fun and cute game!
Maybe consider putting instructions in the start of the game so players know how to move and what the goal is (I thought you need to get a specific color... lol)
Simple and quick multiplayer game. It was good, but what if the balloons where going up and you had to pop them?
If we would pop the balloons they wouldn’t be collectibles
Nice and simple, yet fun! the art is really really cute! overall, great work!
It would mean a lot if you could check out my Jam submission if you get the chance. Thanks!
A really fun, quick game to play! it's a really good idea! :)
Hope you can check out my game if you get the chance!
Thank you for the the feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I would like to play your game. What is it's name?
It's okay! I really did enjoy playing it! :) My submission was 'What Goes Around, Comes Around'
Good concept, but the left side gets way more ballons on avarge. no matter what you do, left side always had more ballons.
p:s: Please consider checking our game!
I checked the code there is no reason for this to happen the game spawns the balloons in random places
this is just something I noticed, I may be wrong or it's a broswer problem
The concept is cool, but needs more dinamics and variations. I'd love to feel the players more fluid and interactive, as well the ballons, it feels rigid.
The game didn't use any of the game jam themes :(
Still good job!
Nice little game, was a little hard to play with both players at the same time. Very good! Congrats on your entry
The game was pretty good. It is a nice simple concept and the art style is nice. The theme doesn't seem to be used in this game however.
we didn't use the them
Ok, i figured that was the case. Good job. I would appreciate it if you could give my game a go!
I liked your game.
+ You definitely collect things
+ Quite like the cute graphics
- Not sure how it fits the "There and Back" theme?
- I think adding some AI to the second player would be good, single player experience is a bit lacking
- There needs to be a way to make it bigger!
The game is definitely lacking juice.
And it's got a few technical problems:
-If you press both keys at once and then hold 1 of them, the game doesn't move your character in that direction. So you're left holding the button and nothing is happening.
-If you press space, both characters do a little glitchy jump.
I do like the idea, it's short and cute, it's something I could play with my son.
Give it a bit of juice and it would be more satisfying to play.
Nice game. Graphics were cool.
