Very hard to play one-player, but otherwise a fun, well-executed game.

Is this intended to be a 2 player game. I played it by myself and had a blast. Makes it really challenging though, in a good way. The only thing that was tough to rate you very high on was theme, but I think you probably already knew that. Great job!

Iam a failure. But the game works pretty good in singleplayer mode as a multi tasking nightmare too. :D

Pretty fun, and an original take on the theme

It does not have much to do with the theme (as you said) but I must say that the graphics are amazing for such a short time lapse. Congrats!

I need to find a friend to try this, but it's still fun to play alone (even if much harder, my right hand is doing great while my left hand keep making mistakes!)
Overall, the game is great! Pretty, fun...everything! It doesn't even need music, it sounds just great like this.

It's probably because the characters are called Jake and Elliott but I would totally see this bar somewhere on Kentucky Route Zero. ^^

Very fun to play. Completely forgot about the 2nd guy until halfway thru, so totally lost, but had fun doing so.

Dude, fantastic game! Loved the gameplay, art and music, but narratively as soon as you justify a character's actions they begin to lose their villainess. They turn into more of an anti-hero.

Wow unexpectedly cool multiplayer game. Will have to play this with my brother before rating!

pretty tough game one player!

Five stars! Put the needle down on me!

This is fantastic. Excellent work.

I have fun!
Really hard to play by one player and control both of them. Yeah, I hate the blue one, ha ha. I saw your blog post on ludum dare website about the initial woring-in-progress, that time is just a bare-bone bars. This is a big leap. Good work!

Lovely title! Like the low-fi graphics, and how the 3d looks 2d :D

Didn't like the unskippable intro though, and the "looping" movement, where you suddenly jump from the rightmost side to the left. Also too bad it isn't really about "villainy" :(

cool idea. wish i could play this 2-player -_-
