I get the idea. But I don't have any friends near by to play with. Like the graphic. And the sound effect is really hilarious, I like it.

The intro really cracked me up. Liked the chip tune, but since it played on an endless loop and was a bit too short it sadly got annoying pretty fast.

Had to play this with keyboard since I don't have a controller. But that said I didn't have the feeling I had any control to where I was going, which made it hard to even start the game.

It was also difficult to access what the goal was of the game, spamming the controls filled up a meter, but never fully so the game didn't change beyond the first level.

Now this all could be because I played with the keyboard but sadly I can't verify that for you.

Hope the feedback helps :)

p.s. I would remove the option to donate on ich.io its an extra click for anybody trying the game and you are entering a jam competition, not trying to sell your game :)

@nopogo Thank you for your feedback. It's a local multiplayer game so playing solo is of course boring. Check out the gameplay footage (just added) or play with friends! It is tested and developed for gamepad controls, as we were adding the keyboard controls too late, the don't feel as good.

I've played it a little bit alone to see potential of it. It's simple but quite fun. Good job! :)

I Played a little time, but the idea is very funny and I love sounds :D

Had the honor to play with a second player, who was also a developer of that exact game.. ;D

The sound effects are funny as heck and controls feel really good with a gamepad

I recommend to grab a friend and spam some axe smashing, guys! =)

XD sooooo fucking fun !! Absolutely LOVE the humoristic "mouth"/foley sound-design ! Tough the music would be fine with some quantization x) But really great game ! GG (our game, since it doesn't appear on my account : https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/the-darkest-light )

@josscomposer Just learned about quantization in Reaper :D Thanks!

Unfortunatelly, I have no one to play with, so I just watched the video. But man, it looks like a lot of fun! What I love the most are the mouth-made SFX. Haha, hilarious and epic at the same time. I hope I'm gonna try it with someone sooner or later :)

It's a really cool concept. I coudln't tested with anyone but I'm sure it would have been fun. The music was nice but the loop is too short so you get tired of it.

Overall, great job!.

Couldn't figure out the controls (WASD+JK). The only control that seemed to work was the dash, which would take me in an apparently random direction.

I do love the concept of having local multiplayers for a ludum. Although the mechanics of you game works well on paper we found it pretty hard to control. Too bad because what we played was really promising. With a little bit of polish over the movement fluidity this could be an excellent local brawler. Good job !
