I collected 200$ stuff. I love multiplayers, but when noone is online... then it's boring :( Would be really good to have someone online and then I can shoot on someone. I did not find an end of the maze. Does it have one? What if multiple players are joined and they are spreaded and they start to move to the complete opposite direction? They will never reach eachother?

GG btw.

I felt some pretty serious input lag, I guess because all movement happens on the server and there's no client-side prediction? Considering how complicated multiplayer is, I can forgive it.

In any case, I liked the music, and I thought the level rearranging itself was cool, although maybe it would've worked better with a smaller level so you could get acquainted with the layout before it changes. Didn't get the chance to play with anyone online.

Interesting game, liked the mood and the overall feeling of the game. Wasn't sure what I was supposed to do except collect money, and not sure what exactly the "rumble" did. Overall cool entry!

This is an ambitious game being multiplayer! I managed to get on the leader board with 44 points, but unfortunately the input lag made it quite frustrating to play (it was about 1 sec for me, possibly because I'm in Australia). Some client-side prediction is really needed to make it feel responsive. The reconfiguring maze is an interesting idea, though I only noticed the maze visibly change once during my playthrough, and most of the time it just shook and had no visible change. I like the retro feel of the menus and music, and the 3D graphics are clean although it is quite dark. I wasn't sure what the debug menu was for, but it was intriguing. Overall nice work! EDIT: Thanks for the Linux build :)

The visuals could be little brighter, there should be also some indication that $ were stolen from other player. Because at first I thought that this feature was bugged, only then I noticed that my $ increased. That being said, it's impressive that You managed to create multiplayer game in 48 hours. Game plays nicely, cool use of theme. Keep up good work ;)
