Thanks Guys, I just discovered this bug a moment before I saw your posts :D so I have uploaded the fix and hopefully it wont happen anymore.

jackdtaylor 2016-12-12 20:54

Download link is broken.

dalbinblue 2016-12-12 20:55

I'm getting a 404 on the Windows download, and unfortunately cannot play the game.

gene-z 2016-12-12 20:57

I can't play sorry

thebrickanator 2016-12-12 21:01

Sorry, I had taken the link down for a moment while I uploaded the new version. I'll add a link from another source though too, just to be sure.

kazik_210 2016-12-12 21:03

I can't connect to server :<

gdcvdqpl 2016-12-12 21:12

Same bug described above here too... :(

thebrickanator 2016-12-12 21:30

ok so that was a rough start but I believe the connection timeout was simply to short, and so people with slightly higher latency couldn't connect, but I have tested it with someone overseas now and it seems to work fine. thanks everyone for letting me know :)

zeoxo 2016-12-12 23:10

Super fun and simple! loved playing it!

korvexx 2016-12-13 00:54

Alright, this was stupidly fun. I could totally see myself playing this non-stop for a long while. I would love to play this game with more people at some point. Great work! :D

conradte3 2016-12-13 10:41

Had a lot of fun playing with you (AnchorSmashing on twitch), I think it's a super awesome game with lots of potential.

palarus 2016-12-13 11:47

Works fine on my end. It's always nice to see an online submission!

Keep working on the project because with some hard hours of work, it can become something big!

quentinus60 2016-12-13 20:43

I don't know if I was playing against you(quickShotCheesy) but the last few game was close !
It's a pretty good game

stadoblech 2016-12-13 21:45

this is very coooool! Enjoyed it a lot. Not much multiplayer games on LD. Thanks! :)

boltkey 2016-12-13 22:14

Wow, great job on making a multiplayer game for LD, it works very smoothly. The collisions and jumping are not very buggy, the only thing that felt wrong was jumping up through a gap 1 tile wide.

The music was nice too. Great compo entry.

inventivum-games 2016-12-13 22:23

Great game But Your Character Is A Bit To Big It Makes It Hard To Fit Through 1 Block Gaps.
But Still Great Game Its A Great Game

geckoo1337 2016-12-13 23:07

I struggle hard to rivalize with another player, but I had fun playing it. The main idea is good and the sendrate correct. technically you can be proud of what you have done. Well done ++

drury 2016-12-14 06:44

I've been playing this game since 1996, my fingers are like sausages now.

ask me anything

bulletsarepeopletoo 2016-12-14 07:44

Ridiculously fun, I enjoyed this game a ton! Playing it during a stream turned it into a madhouse as everyone was hopping in to play. Very impressive for only having 22 hours.

drsnuggles 2016-12-14 15:31

I tried again, but now i'm getting stuck at "Waiting for a worthy opponent"

thebrickanator 2016-12-14 20:21

@DrSnuggles Yep :D that's a good sign, it simply means that no one was online to join you. unfortunately I was asleep so couldn't have joined the room. Thanks for giving it a second go though, I should be able to join for the next 13 hours so if you (see this reply and) want to give it another shot I'd love to vs you.

I've had a lot of fun joining those that have played thus far, especially with those who I versed in a twitch stream with multiple players and I dont know about you @drury but Sausage fingers are my favorite type of sausage... and fingers.

For those that have suggested changes. I'm looking into applying all of your ideas in my Post LD build, and will be porting the game to android along with updating the server to be hosted by whoever is online, instead of from my home PC.

hermetic 2016-12-15 04:14

I can't believe you managed to get a client sever game running in such a short time. WOW. It needs instructions. Pretty awesome game idea. My game bugged out once and I never spawned on round 2, got some random colors at the bottom of the screen though. You should also probably prevent resizes.

thebrickanator 2016-12-15 05:25

Thanks Hermetic, I haven't seen that bug before but I'm guessing the character probably spawned outside the room somehow, thanks for letting me know :) the colours at the bottom are intended and show the flag colours of previous winners. I understand this isn't clear so I'll be sure to work on this. The resizing of the window is enabled because I had been preparing the game to be released on android and was testing resolution scaling.

meta-link 2016-12-15 16:43

Game is crashing whenever I press Escape ;)

Anyway, simple but fun game, good job for making an online game during a LD !

kobihawk 2016-12-15 19:17

Neat game! Being able to climb up the walls is overpowered I think.

alexramallo 2016-12-15 19:19

It's a simple idea, but I like that you made it multiplayer. Also, the graphics and sound are very nice, and overall it's a very polished game. It'd be funner if more people were actually playing though, but I did manage to play against someone!

Don't see how to relates to the theme though.

zpeedtube 2016-12-15 19:48

Fun little game!
And GG to whoever (forgot name) I played against that recked me everytime! ;D

bumblepie 2016-12-17 04:08

Creating an online multiplayer game for LD is super impressive so great job! I would like to see more depth added to the gameplay either via interacting with other players (pulling them back etc) Or through powerups, or enemies or traps, just something to add a bit of flavour to the game.

vilcans 2016-12-20 19:48

Brave to create a multiplayer game for Ludum Dare!
No vote from me unfortunately - it doesn't connect to the server. :-(

leeman 2016-12-21 23:39

Besides the bug, that you can climb the side of the screen. quite fun

thebrickanator 2016-12-22 03:27

Thanks Leeman :D The climbing up the screen is in fact intended behavior, but I appreciate the feedback! It wasn't intended that you can climb forever but I left it in the game because I found it sometimes made for more strategic gameplay. Ideally I'd like to have made sure a block intercepted your path up the wall a little more often to insure that you have to find an alternate route more often. (This will be fixed in my Post LD version)

jperlin 2016-12-26 02:44

Woah, a multiplayer game? Nice! The first DL link worked fine for me and the game started up no problem. There was 1 opponent in the room but he hasn't moved. However the game was a really pleasant experience, the controls good enough, the graphics and especially the background music really soothing! Great job :)
