Definitely one of my favourites from this jam. Keep it up!

You got me at the Title :D

Interesting idea but we found it confusing to understand what was going on.

Cute! I love the art style. The controls are difficult - the fluid running made it hard for me to figure out whom I was controlling, and then the four-way view was also tricky to understand. A clever challenge, but the mechanic seemed to get in the way of the game enjoyment a little bit. But a very fun concept, beautiful art, and the midi soundtrack from my childhood was appreciated. Nice work!

Very stylish, with beautiful graphics and music, but I couldn't get the hang of the controls. I am not sure having four point of views to the same scene is very interesting. However, game jams are perfect for exploring these ideas.

Love the graphics and the midi theme tune is awesome. I have literally no idea what is going on though :D

Is there some cue I'm missing to know which panel has left-right control?

After I got my head around what was going on, that's pretty neat! The music had me laughing too the graphics are great

interesting idea, but not really sure what was going on. couldn't tell whether i tagged someone or got tagged, since they just fall over.

Midi theme and running animations were great. It took me a long while to wrap my brain around the directionality of it all though. But I guess that's the challenge! Nice work.

This game is insanely brilliant. The perspective shift at the beginning of the level is probably my favorite part, and really helps explain what's happening. I love the colorful artwork too!

I love the concept, music (:DDD) and art style, but controls are soo frustrating. The 4 screens make it super challenging to grasp the situation. Still, I really dig the idea, so good job!

tartlegames 2016-12-14 23:47

oh god my brain can't process it -- but overall really cool idea. The animations are fantastic.

I adore the art and music, but I haven't a clue what is going on! I mean I get that it is four views on the same room, but the effects of my inputs seem to keep changing? Great character design and visual style and everything, but too trippy for me man...

Interesting concept, but it was a little hard to understand and control. Overall, though, it was a great game. Keep up the good work!

Fun game! I loved the art and music!

bubsypoochies 2016-12-19 12:59

Really cool entry, very experimental! It's true that it can be hard to get a grasp of what is going on during the first games, but you get used to it pretty quickly and it gets more and more interesting trying to catch your opponent off-guard.

The graphics are very well done and animated, it has a very unique style and simple controls help with the complexity of the concept. Love the music, who cannot love a rendition of Bonnie Tyler's classic??? Great taste ;)

Congrats on making this, I really enjoy playing something truly different.

Very clever idea. Great aesthetics.

Love the concept and great art but i did not get why i could not turn around mid run animation?

allwoodgamedev 2016-12-22 03:37

Cool concept and I love the music. It was a bit (very) confusing what was going on though at first

coauctor 2016-12-26 19:43

The core mechanics seemed a bit unobvious but overall I had fun chasing myself. :)

Cool starting effect!

mrshoestore 2016-12-27 00:34

Got to say, this one is super innovative at the cost of being understandable... I figured Im looking at the same room from 4 directions, but i could not figure the reason my player would change movement plane.
