I had a very intense 1 player match. Anyways, that will not inflict your rating or your feedback. I'm a little upset that you can fire the laser forever, maybe a cooldown would be nice instead. Anyways, the flow is very nice and graphics/audio fit well to the game. I really wish there was a single player version though. Good job and may the judging ever be in your favor.

Do you know what happens when the two destroy each other simultaneously? I do!

This is a pretty simple multiplayer game, but it's fun to watch how people adapt to each others' strategies over time.

yessssssss, I liked this one when you showed it on IRC, and I like how it has turned out

Oh yeah shmup ftw!

Simple game but very well made. I enjoyed playing it! I included it in part 1 of my Ludum Dare 32 compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/-ZkAqIe6FiQ

Nuclear.
Space.
Buckets.
That's like silver age comic book material right there. :D Nice music, simple but awesome gameplay. Loved it :)

I can't rate this since I only played it solo, but the laser beam looked pretty sweet.

Very polished game! also lots of fun if you have someone to play against! Very simple idea too! LOVE IT!

Interesting concept, although eventually my friend just started spamming his laser at one point until I ran into it, haha. The witty remarks at the end of each round added a lot to the game.

P.S. Sorry for making your arm tired. XD

I had my brother over so played this game with him. We had a lot of fun, for short while. It quickly gets repetitive, but we had some good laughs.. well done :-)

Fantastic little game you got here. It isn't complicated, but what you have works very well. Had a great time playing with a friend, it's quite intense. It's almost like a standoff, deciding whether or not you should make the first move, or wait for your opponent too

if you don't want ppl to copy your game, you can always enter as JAM entry

simple but fun game. Good job.

I can't rate this one because I don't have anyone to play with. :/ I mean, I COULD rate it, but that wouldn't be right. Sorry. Downside of living in middle of nowhere Japan.

oranebeast 2015-04-25 05:24

Thats okay @Crowbeak. I understand your troubles.

Played this with someone else!
I liked it, however the game play got a bit repetitious. Couple hints on how to break that up:
- Maybe break it out of the 1 dimension and make it two dimension?
- Add time to move between spots. This may slow it down but induce more strategy

Another thing you could add would be the "Best 4 out of 5" or some sort of score keeping thing. It makes these sorts of games much more competitive.

I have to say I was a bit confused as why your music didn't play throughout the whole game. I thought it was pretty neat but couldn't hear a ton of it. With custom composed music, let it shine!

Another suggestion, perhaps make a 1 frame moving animation for the buckets?

Anyways, I liked it, and had fun playing it.

This is quite a nice game, although 1 player mode would be nice, but I enjoyed it never the less. Great job!

sledknight 2015-05-07 02:42

Interesting little game. Probably more fun with another player... lol

Simplistic but fun, nice adio and graphics.

"Blue destroyed Red
And several pizza portals"
What have I done?!

Anyway, great game! I couldn't play it with a friend unfortunately, but it's surprisingly playable despite this. Great small idea. Only thing I can suggest is a delay on firing and music during the game.
