Phoebe!!
I was playing alone, and still had a lot of fun.
Phoebe was my FAVORITE!

Not sure if I was playing against bots (are there bots, probably not?) or real players, but there were four of us and it was pretty great. Controls remind me of Super Meat Boy. Really cool visuals and physics for such a short time frame, congrats!

indiestry 2015-04-21 17:45

had some trouble with the platforming and figuiring out what was going on, but damn that was some good action and fun!

leaghorn 2015-04-21 17:47

Heh. Hilarious. Very fun game. Tha one thing I didnt like is the particles. To many particles. Its hard to see what is going on because of them.

robotic-brain 2015-04-21 17:49

Really good game!
Only the "quake" effect was a bit distracting.

zak-amana 2015-04-22 13:06

Cool game, controls are great :)

horsed 2015-04-23 09:43

I get a "NETWORK ERROR" :-(

tentabrobpy 2015-04-24 02:46

Very good game! Had fun playing with my friend, and personally I think the excessive particles add something special. The one improvement I could think of for this would be if there were sounds when u bashed these animals against the walls and other people

Funny game, though it wasn't very intuitive at first for me. There were maybe too many people in the room at once - it started getting kinda laggy. But also kinda fun because of how hectic it was XD

rhy3756547 2015-04-24 03:17

@andrewkennedy sorry about that! I was stress testing a bot I made and it got a little out of hand 8O|

You have a real talent for game feel. The sparks flying with every movement or wall bounce, the camera shake after slamming down the large animals. Everything felt just right. Great job!

atmospherium 2015-04-26 03:16

A ton of fun. Really enjoy how hectic the fights were. The swinging mechanics were kind of odd, but I started to get the hang of it a bit. As usual, particles and overall juice was awesome. Screenshake was a bit overwhelming, but I believe you're aware of that.

You absolutely need to develop this more.

Hilariously fun. Hard to play but in one of the best ways.
Soundtrack is quite suited to the chaos which ensues.
You say excuse your graphics, but sometimes with ragdoll sprites, less is more (Phoebe demonstrates this quite nicely, well rigged!)

Crazy multiplayer game with a crazy premise. It was hard to tell how effective your...weapon...was, and what makes it more effective than others. Still, I like what I played, and think you deserve all the praise for putting it together in such a short amount of time.

ndebruyn 2015-04-26 05:21

This was really fun. The game feel a bit more polished.
Well done.

davidb 2015-04-26 07:36

crazy, but too un-readable and hard to control. anyway well done.

strega 2015-04-26 08:13

Awesome animal flail action! It was a bit hard to read what was going on with all the sparks and things. The bots were really good I think I got maybe one kill off them.

demy 2015-04-26 08:59

Crazy and nice. Awesome action multiplayer game. It's hard to control this robot and to make him stay at the place, but I think it's a part of the game mechanics.

crazyrems 2015-04-26 10:03

Incredible. Particles makes my computer lag, but still fun!

split82 2015-04-26 10:26

Great job. Perfect platformer action. I got problem seeing what's happening. Maybe more colourful robots would help.

terraneola 2015-04-26 12:20

Wow! This is so far one of the best game/experiment I've seen here. Graphics is sweet to. I'm really interested in the way you communicate with AI window. 5/5 for me.

goutye 2015-04-26 12:52

Really a good entry! Nice work! I liked the multiplayer part. Maybe something can be better : allows a walljumping a little bit more higher than the usual one. We need to do a lot of walljumping to go above, so we are killed easily. Therefore, it's currently better to stay in a certain location. Think about it! Great great one!

dkoding 2015-04-26 13:26

Great stuff! Plays very well. You won't often find me complaining about TOO much going on on screen but this is one of those times. It were at times impossible to see where your character was, maybe make them more distinct from each other? They kind of drown in particle effects and the vibrating screen. :-) Otherwise, great stuff!

sbot1101 2015-04-26 13:32

Fantastic compo entry. Online multiplayer!? Insane. Fun animal flailing action. Screenshake can get a bit much at times though.

rhy3756547 2015-04-26 14:08

Not to dismiss these comments, but there's always a huge white name label above the characters as is. I don't think you can get any more distinct than that.

tselmek 2015-04-26 15:05

Juiciness at its best, great graphics as well as music. I didn't quite get the goal of the game as I was apparently alone in the game but it still was a lot of fun.

rhy3756547 2015-04-26 16:25

@Tselmek this is a multiplayer game - you need to either invite friends or run the Bots linked above the source.

Thanks for the generally positive feedback everyone! I'm not happy with some of the areas mentioned as weak points too - I'll probably discuss why those things turned out like they did when I make a post mortem.

mandolin 2015-04-26 20:15

wowowowowowow!!! This is so cool! I really wanted to make something similar to this, but am a baby coder (still ended up with something I am proud of though). I looked at your AI tutorial and am trying to implement your advice into my game. Would love to learn more about how you did the smart camera, wall jumping, and animal physics. Everything in this game is so juicy, it feels amazing!

puppetmaster 2015-04-26 21:02

Very funny to play and super animated!!
Well made!!

donpastor 2015-04-27 20:21

Had a lot of fun with this. It's amazing what you archieved in so little time. Thumbs up!

wilbefast 2015-04-28 22:06

Wow, a multiplayer game in 48 hours - that's some serious Dragon Kill Points my friend ^^

Great job! Wish I had some people to play with but the bots are good :) AI too, wow. If only there was a 1337 hax00r category!

thescopelessone 2015-05-03 15:24

It looks like a fun multiplayer game, it does however lag alot when you play with other people and alot of this are flying on the screen. The only obvius thing to fix in this game is some optimization.

mach60kas 2015-05-08 15:38

Crazy silly fun - so chaotic! The graphics were pretty nice overall and the music added to the energy of the game. Phoebe was the best animal naturally! Keep it up, this is awesome!

vikinggames 2015-05-10 15:23

Tons of fun, even though I played with bots. The graphics looked fantastic, especially the little effects thrown in there. The music and sound fit fantastically with the game. Overall, fantastic entry.

Also, you made Snoverchill AND elfsworld.me? BY DOME, YOU ARE THE BEST PERSON EVER. *high five*
