I tried to play alone and it's pretty fun. Kind of hard to wrap my head around to start with, but generally a well-executed concept!

Very nice, cool looking game! I really like the idea. Imo it could be faster.

I would gladly spend a few tickets playing this at an arcade hall. Great entry, love the looks of it. Well done!

I also tried to play alone, and it sure was tough! A clutch beer pickup kept me in the game for a little while longer. I was having trouble steering — well, in general, but especially when the tunnel was curving. It seemed to want to take me straight even when the tunnel wasn't going straight. Anyway. I like the animation of the dudes clambering over the truck to their spots! Fun idea.

Nice atmosphere and visuals.. really creapy :) Aiming is a little bit unintuitive..

Keep on doing !

Awesome arcade concept! I can easily envision friends side-by-side having a blast at this. The animation of the characters switching was definitely a nice touch.

Unfortunately, I don't have any one else at home to try it with me. That's the limitation with making a 2-player game :) Even so, I had fun giving it a try! Some sound effects would have amped it up even more!

One complaint with this theme is that a 10 second timer is sort of arbitrary. It does make us make design choices we might not have made otherwise, which is definitely cool, but I also wonder how we could have implemented it better into the story. For example, in your cart, is there a reason why "10 seconds"? Like maybe the gun overheats, or something about the level forces the switch (like maybe enemies spawn on one side or another)?

This is a fun idea and a very well made game. The game looks great and the controls is good. Too bad there is no sound. Overall a good jam game. Well done.
