I like the idea but I really need to buy a friend to get the full effect. Enjoyed the funky visuals! :)

jupitron 2014-08-25 12:00

Hahah tried to play alone, its really hard!

hungyg 2014-08-25 12:03

Hard to control with so little friction

regularslinky 2014-08-25 12:12

I wish there was someone around to play it with me because playing both together is hard. It took me a few tries to get anywhere, but I wanted to give it another go each time.

huacati 2014-08-25 12:54

Thanks everyone, and hungyg that is something I tried to work on more but ran out of time :(

gambitsunob 2014-08-25 13:53

Tried to play it alone like the other comments, difficult :) very challenging.
It was a lot of fun though, definitely gave it quite a few play throughs. I'll to find someone to play it with me and see how far we can get.

No Single play mode? Solo playing is incredibly hard!
I can play only first few seconds but it seems good obstacle evading game.

huacati 2014-08-25 14:39

soyliquid I tried to add a solo mode towards the end of the comp after originally designing for 2-player but had some code issues I couldn't resolve in time.

Really nice, it's super hard to play on your own!

teamonback 2014-08-25 15:38

Cool concept. Suggestions: Make it a lane based system where pressing/holding down the keys switches lanes. Some sort of a score system for getting so far (could be distance)

psydack 2014-08-25 15:50

I like the way when play with other person, it's funny.

matthias_zarzecki 2014-08-25 16:32

Neat idea!

harko12 2014-08-25 20:49

Looks neat, and neat idea, but I don't have the ambidexterity to play it

artamus 2014-08-26 14:01

Nice game, congrats!

hippolyta 2014-08-26 15:48

Cool game - but too hard for me as solo player ;-)
But imho would it also work as a single player game...
Anyway, good work!

nuclearnapalm 2014-08-26 16:23

Playing alone is really tricky))

skyfish 2014-08-26 16:24

The gameplay is very fun, good submission! I think you could have taken the wacky colour scheme further and capitalized on the graphics more to make the game better overall, the starry background is fun and the whole thing could have been in a sort of neon disco sort of mood, as it is, it looks a bit placeholder-ish instead.

mortl8324 2014-08-26 16:36

Had to play both. Noticed a cheat. If I lie down at some point, I can lie down forever and not get hit by anythign.

huacati 2014-08-26 16:38

Oh nice pickup locknic, that's def a bug I'll need to fix when I wake up, thanks.

shellfishgames 2014-08-26 17:04

This actually looks quite fun, but unfortunately I don't have a second player available. And on my own, I couldn't even pass two obstacles in a row. :D I can easily imagine, however, that it's rather addicting once a second player joins.

nesis 2014-08-27 05:54

A nice game! Very challenging to play on your own, but I can see some people getting pretty good at it. Nice polish with the sound and menu working so slickly :)

literal_games 2014-08-27 15:09

As others have said it's super hard by yourself, but it seems like it would be super fun with a second player!

atomicvikings 2014-08-27 18:32

add some more sounds (for when you hit the walls and such) and maybe a difficulty setting is appropriate :) Great game nonetheless.

jayhof 2014-08-27 18:50

Nice! Unfortunately I had to play alone, there was no friend around :) So I tried being a crazy person but failed miserably, thanks for the game good work!

kigurumidevs 2014-08-27 23:36

It´s simple and quite fun. Pretty much impossible alone xD

honcho 2014-08-27 23:57

Super hard trying to play alone ;(

eastes 2014-08-28 10:21

Fellow Brisbanite! Thanks for making a 2 player game!

tomvert 2014-08-30 21:52

I like this crazy art style !

cricklewood 2014-08-30 23:32

Absolutely frustrating for a loner.

sunflower 2014-08-31 19:14

Ugh, what's with people and their multiplayer game ideas. It really reduces accessibility, you know? >.<
Audiovisuals seem pretty nice, but that multiplayer spoils it to me completely. :<

eemmbbeerr 2014-09-01 14:48

I tried to play alone, hadn't gotten far :D There are some places where you seem to be able to get through the walls without dying. But 'tis a fun game and thank you for the Linux build.

jukimv1986 2014-09-06 05:38

I was crazy enough to control both players at the same time. The game made me work hard and I failed miserably! Nice concept and take on the theme. Well done!

jupiter_hadley 2014-09-12 21:16

Really fun, insane, game! I included it in part 23 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/KSNN8ZCA9kQ
