I like the cooperative concept as far as the theme goes. The levels didn't really play into that aspect - Why am I bringing a buddy? - although that might be partially by design, such that a single person could judge the game. That being said having at least some non-trivial puzzle for each level would have gone a long way.
@mintman You are taking a buddy cause its dangerous to go alone :D
I think it's a good take on the theme ! Maybe more coop level design could have been cool, but as mintman said that makes it easier to rate. Good job !
@Yrael Thanks man! I take you got your certificate :D
Sorry, would gladly have tested it, but XNA games + Linux doesnt go well... Wish you luck with your entry nonetheless!
Indeed ! That was a nice touch ^^
You have the basis for a solid cooperative puzzler. I figure the time constraints were the real reason the puzzles were very simple - rather get the thing working than spend half the time coming up with brain-busters, right?
I wonder if there's any value to try and make these quasi-cooperative games with a single user in mind. Are our brains even capable of that level of multi-tasking simultaneously between characters? Interesting notion, there.
This would have been awesome on the Atari 2600!
Always nice to get/play some multiplayer entries. Good work on this one.
Amazing concept, can see it being a great game when added to. The certificate was a nice touch too. People love achievement type things and the certificate is essentially that.
The certificate is now my screensaver.
The first game on this LD I've actually finished. =)
The puzzle-concept is good, but the level design seems a bit rushed and using rars for different levels are cure, but annoying. =)
The cooperative part was a nice idea. The puzzles are unfortunately not too hard. Some timing would probably spice things up.
Oh, and please, do not break the game apart in different executables ;)
The buddy coop mechanism was a cool idea, my buddy left me in jail in level 3 to "WIN" though :(! Bad fiance, bad!
Also thought the many RARs were a tad annoying, but it worked, so...
Well done on finishing something decent for your first LD!
My fiance is planning to frame the certificate :P...
I like the game's message! Not subtle, but good nonetheless.
Looking at the source, it seems you hard-coded the obstacles directly into the game. I admire your perseverance!! Using a map tool (say, Tiled, for instance) might help your level-building immensely.
Good work this LD! I like your style and I want to see more of your stuff.
ps. I thought the .rar system was a creative solution.
Thank you everyone for your comments and to all those that rated and played it. I am extatic about the result, especially as it was my first game and first Ludum Dare :) So thanks again!
