I don't have another player, so can't rate this.

parapup 2013-12-16 23:56

Wouldn't run cause it was corrupt.

excrulon 2013-12-16 23:57

This is really hard for people to rate due to the multiplayer nature of the game. However, I played vs myself using keyboard and a controller. I really liked the concept. It'd be pretty cool on a console with couch multiplayer or network multiplayer on computer. You should add more and polish it up!

Once I'd installed the deps I could get it to run but not anything to happen. Can it be played with a keyboard?

I got an extraction error, couldn't copy some libogg.dll file.

abeing 2013-12-17 01:05

extraction error on my side, too

sudorossy 2013-12-17 02:13

Quite simple, but I found the player a bit hard to control.

j 2013-12-17 08:17

Hmm, never had these sorts of errors before. Anyone having problems, it'd be nice if you posted your OS, exact error messages/behaviour, etc..

j 2013-12-17 08:21

Oh, wait, never mind - the actual archive is broken? I was thinking extraction of things in the exe. Seems I accidentally used LZMA, which some ZIP decompressors don't support. I'll try to get that fixed.

@hnjslater: since you're trying to install dependencies, I'm assuming you're not on Windows, so details would still be nice. Thanks.

There we go, using DEFLATE now. Sorry for the issues.

The player movement is a bit weird (I mean jumping). A very interesting take on the theme though.

shellfishgames 2013-12-17 18:00

Quite original and one of the best interpretations of the theme I've seen so far. The only thing I'm not too happy about are the controls (keyboard controls at least) and that there's only that one (even asymmetrical! :O) map. Other than that - very well done!

j 2013-12-17 20:07

Yep, hence the encouragement to use a controller. If you can think of a better keyboard-only layout, please let me know.

The map was the last thing I did - I would've like to have included more.

joror 2013-12-17 20:52

Basic multiplayer, but I can see the concept. Tried playing both at once and kinda failed. ;)

tiffi_gaming 2013-12-17 21:49

Jumping seems a bit off, but i enjoyed laying mines

thevideogamemechanic 2013-12-17 22:03

I like the thought, didn't have anyone to play against though. But it looks like it has some potential.

random-abductions 2013-12-17 23:17

We liked the idea. Seems a bit buggy though (but you already know that :P). The area feels a little small for the mechanic.

rincewind_cz 2013-12-18 00:55

Nicely done audio.. even it's like somebody trying to play drums totally drunk :-D. Also liked how mines could be sticked to the walls...

dsoft20 2013-12-18 17:02

Nice entry, played with a friends.
The movement is a bit imprecise :&

tomski 2013-12-20 04:51

Nice take on the theme, pretty hilarious to play with a friend, would like to see a bigger map to play around on, and maybe coloured mines? Good job anyway!

rodroy1 2013-12-25 13:36

It looks nice but its a bit difficult to play. Deffinatly an interesting idea though. Maybe with a bit more time you could develop it more.

moosefly 2013-12-26 13:44

It was an interesting concept, but the gameplay could use some polish though as others have mentioned :P. The keyboard layout took some getting used to, but it worked pretty well in the end.

jupiter_hadley 2014-01-04 16:00

Nice game, bit hard to play but cool. Sadly it wont record with fraps so I as unable to include it in my LD28 compilation video series :(
