Pretty fun tbh

I had fun playing! A neat visual style and the movement feels good. One thing I'd recommend is changing the attach button to anything else but Shift. On Windows, if you press the Shift key several times in a row, a dialogue pops up asking if you want to turn sticky keys on (for accessibility). X would maybe be OK? I don't think it's position moves on international keyboards...

Vraiment cool, bien pensé et fun à jouer avec des amis ! Affaire à suivre avec curiosité ;)

It's a fun game, I really like the movement and feeling of the controls. It's really good. The sounds and visual are very appealing to me. The only problem, not with the game per se, but I don't see the theme in it. Maybe I'm missing something?

Good game! Got some 80s vibes from the menu and instruction screens, the game felt good and was fun but the controls were too heavy. Turning around and jumping precisely was really hard. Other than that, well done :D

jeux très cool fun à jouer, promet de bonne partie entre amis.

mosegames 2017-12-06 00:06

no one elso showed up

pareidolia 2017-12-06 05:09

The controls were a bit confusing. I loved the art design.

ragoniard 2017-12-06 09:43

@machocodes thanks for your feedback :)

ragoniard 2017-12-06 09:48

@sfbtom glad you had fun playing our game. Regardind the attack buton you can use the A key or the shift key. We should had put the A key on the mapping screen but I guess we failed on that one ^^

ragoniard 2017-12-06 09:52

@theodras Content que ça t'ai plu

sadsmile 2017-12-06 10:25

Didn't get it at first (the controlls i mean) and i have no friends but still a nice entry :D

ragoniard 2017-12-06 12:36

@rmc thanks for your feedback. At first we wanted to make an online game with 20 or more players. Where the more players there is and the longer you stay alive the worse the arena gets. Sadly we had trouble setting up a server and we scalled down to a local game with four players. We still see our game being in the theme with the fact that the better you are with a weapon, the faster you will kill you friends and the faster you will lose it. But we are not as much as we wanted to be in the theme yes.

ragoniard 2017-12-06 12:49

@Syrapt0r That exactly what we were looking for :) It's true that contros can feel heavy, but we wanted to create a game in witch you can fling yourself in the face of you oponent. A little rework could be done especially for the keyboard.

ragoniard 2017-12-06 12:51

@biikheure Merci :) amuse toi bien

Visual design is interresting, graphics are nice, music is also. The idea is not new. I don't really see the connection with the LD40 theme. Anyway, the game is fun to play and that's rare. Good job with that. About fun, I have just been a little bit frustrated not to be able to collect weapons and choose one.

ragoniard 2017-12-07 09:01

@MoseGames As we weren't able to set up the server in time, we scalled down the game to a local multiplayer game. You need to be 2 to 4 in front of the same screen to play it.

ragoniard 2017-12-07 09:06

@pareidolia Thanks for your feedback. It's true that a little rework and better explanatiosn could be used for the controls

ragoniard 2017-12-07 09:12

@sadsmile Thanks for your feedback :) The controls could use better explanations

ragoniard 2017-12-07 10:06

@gaming-night Glad you liked our game. Making a fun game was our top priority. Regarding the weapons, by forcing you to swap to your victim's weapon, we make sure that the better you are with a weapon, the faster you will kill you friends and the faster you will lose it. We are not as much as we wanted in the theme but we had to rescop mid project from an online game to a local game.

sbarrio 2017-12-07 18:08

Nice job with your entry. I find the controls a little bit to floaty and slippery for my taste, but this is a superb job. Congratulations.

vincent 2017-12-07 18:08

I also didn't get the controls, shooting seems random. But I liked the game anyway!

flip120 2017-12-07 21:45

Nice game, I felt a little bit difficult the controls, but I like it, good job 👌

alexfalkenberg 2017-12-08 11:46

Friend and I enjoyed your game! Controls, as other have said, could be tuned up a little, both controller and keyboard, we think. The environment blocks coming in and out all the time at random seemed entirely random to the point of being almost irritating. Maybe if there were patterns or some other slick presentation for their coming and going? Shooting/slashing/etc seemed to not always be under my precise control, either. That said, great effort, nice game. :) Congrats and have a great LD!

djeycreations 2017-12-08 15:45

A good game here =). The music is just a little bit annoying after a while. Good job!

patrick-woodcock 2017-12-10 23:47

Great looking game, good job. Sadly I don't have any controllers or friends to play it with.

decipator 2017-12-14 18:14

I really liked the concept but unfortunelly I had no friend to play with, so I tested the mechanics and they felt like a glove. Good entry.

stevie-bushman 2017-12-15 01:12

My son and I really enjoyed this! I love the semi-destructable terrain

spargles 2017-12-25 20:11

The mechanics of this game felt very good, animations and graphic style are very nice. Unfortunately no one was around to play with me :(

geckoo1337 2017-12-26 23:27

Really well done even though the controls are a little bit too weird - maybe too smooth like Holiday-On-Ice :) I love the main aesthetic especially drawings in the background. Well done! Un bon petit jeu qui mérite une bonne note ++
