The game doesnt open for me. I downloaded and extracted the zip.

@TheBigShot I've had a couple of friends not being able to open it either. Sadly in not to familiar with py2exe or win32 applications either, so the only solution I can offer you is to download and install python and pygame and run de sources. I know it's a bother and I'm very sorry. Thank you for trying anyways.

Worked for me. A really amazing concept, I love this weapon mechanic (especially with the two yoyo action later in the game).

It worked for me on Windows, but I already had Python and Pygame installed so maybe it was that. I had great fun with it once I got the hang of yo-yo ing, I love the effect once it goes Frenzy!

Cool game. I really liked the idea though it seems like you have never used a yoyo in real life :D

Pretty good, gets hard.

@Junber lol owned XD, I'm actually a yoyo fan, but this was the way to made this that I found more viable and fun.

Yay, a fellow yo-yo entry! It was really satisfying beating the enemies to bloody pulp using the yo-yo almost as a pendulum. I didn't realize that I could launch the additional yo-yo with my right mouse button on my first try, but that was just me failing to read the description before playing. Awesome stuff!

Nice entry for a first try =D

Hey ! Cool game, I like the idea.

vija02 2015-04-20 17:08

The concept was good, if only the movement and the yoyo's physics were better, it'll be a much better game

Nice game! I did 34.700 points =D

I quite enjoyed this. Love the idea of swinging around the yoyo. Litte hard to control, but it's fun anyway.

Unfortunately my computer picked this up as a virus, though it might be complete baloney, I've never had this problem before, it's not even the common "this thing has not been downloaded a lot, watch out" error, it's a full out "This thing has a virus." Maybe it's because I don't have python downloaded? Not sure, sorry buddy.

Very nice idea! Cool game mechanic. I particular loved when the yoyo got behind a huge horde of enemies and kept smashing them in the back :)

I really like the idea of yoyo has a weapon but too hard for me :p well done anyway!

MSPaint.

pretty solid mechanically, and really fun once you get a couple yoyos and frency
could have been cool to reward the player for pulling the yoyos back somehow
my highscore is 633900 :)

Neat little game. Nice concept overall, using a yoyo as a weapon is cool. It's quite tricky and the yoyo doesn't always seem to go quite where you want it to, but its quite satisfying, especially when you get multiple people in quick succession. As far as graphics go, maybe you should try teaming up with an artist or something. I've found the programmer/artist team combo seems to work ok for our projects.
