Pretty cool! Sadly, I didn't have a second person to play it with, but I still managed to have a nice time.
The music is really good, although it doesn't loop after it's done. Audio quality all around is nice. I also liked the visuals, it had that realistic-pixelated look that DKC had, I'm not sure how to describe it. Gameplay didn't really have any stakes or lose conditions, and the combat felt a little clunky, so if those were addressed then the game could be elevated even more.
Great job putting this together for a jam, and thanks for sharing it!
