Lower resolutions cut off the menu buttons (I chose a lower one to try the two-window thing.) Looks like the minimum is probably 800x600.

Hilarious description and in-game writing. :)

Two windows connected fine, presumably through the Churchill-approved Internet.

I could not figure out the first exercise though. When red pushes 1, you get 1, but anything else seems to reset to 0. Also sometimes you press a button and there's no sound.

Nice music, good variety.

AMAZING! So happy to see someone tackle something as ambitious as UNET in a 48 hr gamejam! Here are some observations I made:

1: Maybe turn down the volume on the player's movements- it's a bit too loud compared to everything else

2: Love the humor, me and my buddy were chuckling throughout most of our time playing.

3: Nice art style, simple and effective.

4: Great job on the music, fits the gameplay perfectly.

5: The music puzzle was a little tough to figure out, but we made it through after some time.

6: The boops from the buttons got a little hard to listen to after a while, maybe look into either turning the sound down a bit or making it a less harsh noise.

Our favorite puzzles were the ones where you had the directional arrows and you had to guide the other person to the goal.

All in all, great job on your game- it was a lot of fun!

Nice game :)
- Interesting subject
- Nice art-style
- As others have pointed out, the audio is a bit loud sometimes

@Slimabob
Thanks! I'm so glad someone was able to do a 2-player run through it!
yeah that sound puzzle is a bit tricky.
Sorry for blowing out your ear drums with my boop sounds! I will have to turn them down after judging is over. *Cheers*

Oh, and a big thank you to the rest of you as well!

It worked! I am now good with myself!

tater_hater 2016-12-12 19:35

might not be a bad idea to link a .zip as well, for those like me playing on a secondary computer and too lazy to download winrar.

Nice game art,, congratulatikns

Would love a Linux build of this :)

catwheel 2016-12-12 21:04

@tinyworlds
For some reason when I compile for Linux or Mac builds they never work. I don't have a linux or a mac computer to investigate why, though

I had an absolute heck of a time trying to get the two windows / one computer thing working. I'm sure this would be a blast if I had a friend to run it with, but as it is I can't even get the two instances synchronized well enough to break out my amazing alt-tabbing skills.

mrevilguy 2016-12-13 01:01

Hey! This is great! I admit I've never played a game like this with myself, but the two window thing worked great! ahahah love the team motivation atmosphere.

catwheel 2016-12-13 01:19

@Piscythe
If you happen to read this, any details you can give would be really useful. Is your computer old? Are you outside the US (where the server is). Did you launch the game in windowed mode?
I was anticipating some lag issues (yes they can occur while playing with yourself), but I haven't been able to uncover any in my own testing.
Cheers for trying either way!

trashlord 2016-12-13 01:50

Pleasant and solid game! Nice idea to develop it further.
Didn't understand a thing about fire and flood

mrwillowb 2016-12-13 05:30

Nice Game!

piscythe 2016-12-14 00:53

@Catwheel I tried again and got it working fine. I'm in the US with a reasonably up-to-date computer.

fuad 2016-12-14 01:02

Reminds me of "Stop Talking And Nobody Explodes". Nice idea and pretty smooth realization.

catwheel 2016-12-14 05:38

@Fuad "Thank you! We here at ACER pride ourselves on making the best quality in self- building exercises"

@Piscythe
Okay. Thank you so much for coming back and informing me. The issues seems so foreign and I'm just one programmer so if I ever go to polish this, I think I will just make a different mode for single player that just connects on your computer (without Churchill Internet). Again thank you!

catwheel 2016-12-14 05:41

@Fuad
Also I hope you meant Keep talking.
The other version I would think would be called "Stop Talking and Everybody Explodes"

Very fun game,good job

oyoh 2016-12-16 16:18

Excellent, nothing else to add, nice job

fafastudio 2016-12-16 18:37

Since i have no real friends to play, i launched this with the two windows of shame technique.

Still awesome idea, and so neat, that i wonder how can i do better ! :D

Well done !

"SHAME is just 2 letters away from TEAM" - kinda

bluethelemon 2016-12-16 22:40

Tried with a friend but we can't get pass the music one.
Anyway, love the concept, simple but great execution.

Great job on makig this game !

doxm 2016-12-18 10:31

Amazing game! The soundtrack is relaxing!

plugrobots 2016-12-18 11:21

Great idea and game. It's very interesting to play.

tifu 2016-12-20 14:57

I played solo (and had to look up solution to the sound puzzle, because I am unable to do those, so thanks for including the guide!) but this seems like it would be a really fun multiplayer thing, the little gags between puzzles are really good too :D

srcn 2016-12-24 16:06

Could not pass note level, buttons sound same and walk-trough didn't help :/

icefallgames 2016-12-26 19:57

Download links don't work (I dunno if google drive is down or something, but it says "resource unavailable")

mementogames 2016-12-26 21:33

I really liked the humor! I played alone, but I can see how with would be fun to play with someone. Good job!
