Not running at least on Firefox.

Worked for me in Chrome.

The second player to attempt the level seems to always spawn right next to the goal? I just played by opening a second tab, so I'm not sure if it was all working the way it's supposed to. Really nice design, clean interface and goal, and going the extra mile for multiplayer is sweet.

Wow, huge props for making a multiplayer game that's easy to access for the end user too! :)

The gameplay was challenging to get into (eg. "how do I play this game well?") and I'm not sure if I managed to grasp it after a few rounds.

Joseph Miller => Thanks ! The players are supposed to be at least 10 blocks away from the goal, it's random, so I guess you were just not lucky !

pht59x => Please make sure you're using a recent enough version of Firefox. It didn't work on Firefox 22 for me for example (because of missing window.requestAnimationFrame)

I really liked this. Found myself cursing at the other players when they beat my by a few blocks. Nice work!

mat4dor 2014-04-28 14:51

I different but interesting game! Well done!

rincewind_cz 2014-04-28 16:32

Well, pretty minimalistic indeed.. It has to be really funny with more than 2 players :)

ezombort 2014-04-28 17:06

A really cool and innovative game!

philip_sinclair 2014-04-28 17:06

wow. after a little confuion as to what the flip was going on i really enjoyed this game. i liked that you couldn't really see the other players, just their trail.

The multiplayer integration is both impressive and interesting.

Trying to get to the goal while screwing over the opposition is pretty satisfying. Good job.

sam101 2014-04-29 12:28

I've added a polyfill for browsers that do not support window.requestAnimationFrame, so it should work on more browsers now.

Oh, wow the idea seems really cool and have a good execution. This game with lots of players at the same time can be epic!

pancakecity 2014-04-29 18:44

Fun! Wish there was a little more to it, but nice!

pixelpig 2014-04-29 18:47

You should add more instructions for how its supposed to work, took me a long time to figure out what I was supposed to do

freezx 2014-04-29 18:49

Awesome game, i didn't quite get what was going on at first, then i read the description and got the hang of it. Very cool that you managed to make a multiplayer game in such a short time.

theengineers 2014-04-29 18:51

It was hard to get into the game, I wasn't sure what to do, what I was meant to be doing and how, etc. Other than that I see potential.

zutty 2014-04-29 18:54

Worked for me in Firefox 28.

Well done on making a multiplayer game in 48 hours! I cheated and played against myself using two browsers!

Not much to comment on graphics or audio, very simplistic indeed. Gameplay was very interesting and fun, only downside was the lack of a singleplayer experience. Still, a very good game.

crefossus 2014-04-30 13:15

I like thinking about the initial new gameplay/strategies although there is quickly a dominate one. Also the graphics are simple but polished/consistent which helps setting a good mood.

ryangatts 2014-05-01 00:42

I like the sort of antagonism and panic this inspires in the players :)

torcado194 2014-05-01 02:26

awesome work bringing an online multiplayer game to a ludum dare competition! pretty interesting concept

linuus 2014-05-02 13:22

Very ambitious for a 48 hour game! I like the concept and I'd love to see it developed further!

jomomomo 2014-05-02 13:48

A multiplayer game in 48 hours? Wow!

theexgenesis 2014-05-02 14:37

Congrats! Really liked it!

copain 2014-05-02 14:38

great idea.
but world must be bigger (usually, the first god player win)

shadow-dreamer 2014-05-02 16:23

A pretty fun game. This is probably really fun to play with friends through skype too. Really good job with making a mulitplayer mode. It would've been fun with a local mode too though.

GOod job!
