Cool game!

Fascinating little experiment, will try it at some point with a friend but simply playing as player 1 and let player 2 just stir about randomly is still pretty fun!

Thanks for checking it out!  Admittedly I still haven't actually gotten the chance to see how it plays, so some feedback on that would be super helpful.  😁

I ran the google drive link and it works fine! A great game, with a niche idea, though the audio could have been better. The game also crashed randomly after a few minutes of testing it out... did I do something wrong? Besides that, a lovely experience, well done!

Thanks for trying it out!  Yeah I'm not surprised some pesky bugs popped up... I've held myself back from swapping the drive files out with fixes in the spirit of the game jam.

But you're right, definitely needs some audio to spice things up;  I'm already itch.ing to keep working on it! :D

I got it working with the drive link! Cool concept, but it took a few minuttes to understand how it exactly worked. Overall pretty cool game!

I get this error message when I try to run the game (if the image doesn't show up, it says the pck file may be missing; I don't know what that means).

same, apparently a game made with godot need to be packaged with the .pck

Shame, I would've wanted to try this out.

Thank you so much for letting me know!  I should have tested it first-- I'll see if I can get around the upload freeze, then try to ping ya'll somehow.  I've added a temporary google drive link that might work until I get things sorted out.

This is what I get for pulling an all-nighter XD
