Pros:
- Artwork is really unique and cool. A little low-res though
- Simple and easy to play

Cons:
- Music is a bit repetitive.
- Couldn't find way to exit the game
- Controls seemed a little unresponsive.

Maybe it would be nice to have a three hit point system, victory would feel a little more decisive because as-is the best tactic is score and hit then flee for the rest of the match.

We tried playing first to three and it's a very different game, you're forced to continue engaging after you gain an advantage, so this means the "losing" player can still secure a win instead of just chasing the winning player fruitlessly.

Joysticks are definitely preferable for this game. Having a computer controlled opponent would have made the game easier to test. Bonus points for wackiness. :) Definitely not the worst game I've played today.

Thanks for the feedback so far :) The 3-hit point system is a pretty cool idea, if we work on it further I'll definitely put that in - we were both a little rushed for time with other commitments so there's a lot more we would have liked to have added! I agree that the joystick controls are far superior to the keyboard as well, glad you've been enjoying it so far though!

The music's not the best thing about this game, but I like its gameplay. Nice entry!
