I will be paranoid about anything and everything above my head as I walk down the street tomorrow :) I liked the spritework and animations in this. Was curious what their conversation would be which spurred me on to finish. Congrats on getting a game complete for LD; third time's a charm!

Simple and nice :) At the end part, it kinda froze(?) it's like it turned awkward between them all of a sudden xD but otherwise good job! :)

konrad-zegis 2014-08-25 16:13

Congratulations on finishing your game!
I like the mood, and graphics, but to be honest at first I was like "whaaa?" when I died from bee.

Keep up good work!

ViliX 2014-08-25 16:16

I really love the graphics style.
Apparently a bee can kill a man now.

igoramendola 2014-08-25 17:00

Thanks for your comments!

Btw, the bee doesn't kill them hahaha... but if the bee stings them, they no longer would go to the bench hehe :P

papacheech 2014-08-25 20:58

the killer bees. This was tough but fun, nice work. Great graphics too!

team-sloth-fox 2014-08-25 21:00

I liked this game. It was fun to move both of them and the promise of them meeting at the bench made me keep trying when they died.

pinion 2014-08-25 21:06

Nice idea.

That bird was out to get me but I made it in the end!

josriley 2014-08-26 01:24

I love the art, and I think the squatting pose is my favorite sprite of the weekend!

fussycashew 2014-08-26 01:31

Nice work! The game seemed to hang every few seconds though.

artifex 2014-08-26 01:46

Nice game, it's only that the jump over the hole was a little bit hard, and after dying frequently I notice the bee. The final conversation reminds me of my social skills with new people. AWKWARD :P

safar-pavel 2014-08-26 09:24

Very cool. It is simple but very funny. Great pixel art.

somepx 2014-08-26 09:43

Very cool pixelart, game is unfinished but fun.

roguenoodle 2014-08-26 14:51

Super cute entry - nice work! That bee though, man... that bee :/

dickpoelen 2014-08-26 15:06

Nice game. Damn birds and bees trying to get in my way!

ammaralsharekh 2014-08-26 16:00

nice game and art I wish if bee was bigger it is hard to see it.

chamberlainpi 2014-08-26 16:36

Cute game! Like others have expressed, the manhole was a bit difficult, but not impossible to jump! I had to move each characters separately (my brain just doesn't function that way I guess!). I never tried going under the bird-poop or the falling orange... might need to try this game again soon...

beardogames 2014-08-26 17:41

This is my kind of game, where it's GAME OVER for getting pooped on by a bird! I guess you CAN just play with one at a time, but the real fun is in trying to manage both at the same time. It has a very particular sprite style that is super appealing to me. Very nice!

igoramendola 2014-08-26 18:02

Thanks again for your comments. I'm going to make a post-mortem version with some fixes and new features, and I'll consider your feedbacks :D

zillix 2014-08-27 07:13

really cute art style!

powerspark 2014-08-27 23:14

I love how in the ending the conversation just randomly ends awkwardly.

colapsydo 2014-08-28 17:29

Controls are intuitive, and I like the link with theme (read in description).
It was a great idea not reseting both character when we loose with one.
Also the pixelart are cured.

Good luck with the postcompo version, I'm looking forward to test it.

p4nurge 2014-08-29 08:39

Nice work. I couldn't do both at the same time but managed when I switched between the two. Cute graphics and story made for an enjoyable experience.

oddly-shaped-pixels 2014-08-30 07:38

I've managed to play them both at the same time!!
Really great entry, I love how simple yet fun it is. And I looove the awkward small talk at the end, totally connects with one's experience :D

h1s2 2014-08-31 06:54

funny game. nice graphics. i would have liked a little more dynamic in it. and its really similar to our entry! :)

igoramendola 2014-08-31 16:36

Thanks (one more time) for your comments and feedback.
I really appreciate it :))

jahmaican 2014-09-01 15:54

It's quite short and seriously, they are talking about the weather at the end? Uhm...

But I love your interpretation of the theme! Plus, nice graphics.

nooner-bear 2014-09-02 15:17

Pretty nice :) Not too much to it, but the idea was great. I wasn't entirely sure what was killing me at first, but it was just the little bee.

ninjascript 2014-09-03 23:19

Good character art. It took me a while to figure out why I was failing at first, those birds are pretty stealthy. But I triumphed in the end. Nice little story!

saphyre1306 2014-09-04 07:35

Nice :-)

jukimv1986 2014-09-06 04:11

Soooo difficult! The art is nice, I hope you can develop it further and improve the experience. Well done!

chuigum 2014-09-06 05:14

Great graphics! Cool idea!

anserran 2014-09-06 11:12

Nice little idea!

mystakin 2014-09-08 01:49

Really dig the screen separation and controlling two characters as once. I think there's a lot of depth to that mechanic left to utilized, and that's exciting. Enjoyed the ending as well. :)

torvik88 2014-09-10 18:51

Needs some getting used to the controls and i wish the jump was bigger on the players but other than that i liked the two worlds of the characters. Nice game, cheers!

igoramendola 2014-09-11 17:18

Again, thanks for your comments!! :))

I'm working (slowly) on a post-compo version and I already added some things: title; intro; a bigger bee and a bigger bird's poop; new elements (cars, flowers, ...). And I have improved the collision and jumps, also fixed some bugs.

sephyka 2014-09-12 09:03

Hehe simple but really fun and poetic idea.
I like the graphics. It might be better with a more extended ending maybe. :).

shmackson 2014-09-13 19:29

Interesting concept. Good art.

natrium729 2014-09-14 02:30

A nice little game. Not really ambitious, but it was ok. Too bad that it ends abruptly, without knowing what will happen to them.

racarate 2014-09-14 05:36

i won't lie, i spent a lot of time making them dance with the down button

fisholith 2014-09-14 06:40

Interesting game, and a cool concept. I like the zigzag split screen effect. :)
Also interesting that the speech only shows up in the speakers world. Is that on purpose? Anyway, cool idea overall. :)

igoramendola 2014-09-15 06:58

Thanks everyone!! Your feedback is important to me :D

-----------

@racarate my girlfriend did the same hahaha

@fisholith yes, it was on purpose ^_^ thank you!
