tried controllers and that didn't work, I button mashed until something happened and a green rectangle appeared but I couldn't figure out how to actually start the game.

@Shire Were you using Xbox controllers? Were they turned on and assigned player numbers before the game loaded? Were you playing web build or Linux build?

oh this looks good, is there anayway to play one with keyboard and one with controler?

pjchardt 2014-04-30 00:22

I would like to make some other control options as soon as I can. Right now it requires four controllers :(

If you don't have four controllers, you may be able to emulate controllers with your keyboard or smartphone/tablet.

In Windows, some combination of PPJoy and/or GlovePIE should get you virtual controllers powered by the keyboard:

I once used PPJoy and x360ce to drive a virtual Xbox 360 pad using keyboard keys. Heh.

There are a whole bunch of gamepad apps for Android, probably some for iOS too. Quick googling turned up these Android apps:

Too bad you need controllers to play this :/ Looked good.

Looks fun, but unfortunately I don't have 4 players nor 4 wired xbox controllers ;(

I like the music, and the sfx, will rate it if I can find 2 more controllers.

pjchardt 2014-05-02 02:21

@vladimirdlc I would love to get it working with 2 controllers. Maybe I can get some time this weekend to play some games and add some support for only 2 gamepads for my own game.

Sorry man, no controllers and no friends...

I play this game on Unity Debug Mode..
Idea is good. If 2~4P are programed simple AI, this game gets better, I think.

Nobody to play with me :( Looks fun I want to try it !

I have no friends to play with QQ

pjchardt 2014-05-03 19:31

If I only I had a networked version. Then everyone commenting could be friends and we could all play :)

jsmars 2014-05-06 06:09

Looks promising and fun! But I think it's difficult to get many people to really play it when it requires 4 people.. You should really have added a basic AI for people to be able to test it solo, it does look really fun to play 4 people sometime.

mechabit 2014-05-06 11:23

Looks really interesting but sadly not enough friends and controllers.

d2fxrayg 2014-05-06 17:19

sorry, I don't have 4 players :(

jimmyboh 2014-05-06 17:27

Please implement keyboard input!

mustaine 2014-05-06 20:06

Got one green dude in there. Couldn't actually play. I Llke the music though :)

csanyk 2014-05-10 15:41

Couldn't play it, but it looks like it'd be fun:)

gre 2014-05-13 13:28

Looks interesting but no way to play without controllers
