Surely an interesting gameplay, as mine is vaguely similar :wink: Couch multiplayer in PICO-8 for the win!

That said, the gfx & sfx effects are way better here than on mine...

@thesnide Woo, thanks! There should be more couch multiplayer pico8 games :)

What a solid submission. It's difficult to test alone though but I found the concept really interesting and well made. Unfortunately I didn't get to see all the possible upgrades.

The audio and graphics are really good, I love it

Couch multiplayer Pico 8 game? That's impressive! Man, there's something very pleasant about the Pico 8 color palette. The upgrades were all really cool too! Nice work! Getting a bunch of rate upgrades and a triple shot is one heck of a combo! Great game.

Really nice fast paced game. I didn't have anyone to play with and playing two players at the same time get pretty boring after a while so I would've liked a single player version. I really like the graphics, so simple yet effective! Well done!

This is actually super super fun to play! Love the upgrading mechanic and the combat system. Wish I have a friend to play with. Solid entry!

I love the audio and the damage sound. More couch coop games like this!!

cobrajs 2022-10-08 15:41

I'll need to find someone to play this with to get the full experience of course, but I really liked the sound and aesthetics of the game! Well done!!

This game has really great juice and gamefeel for a compo game.

Neat game! I played it with a friend and had a lot of fun. Being able to choose our own upgrades really made it engaging.

@vilmantas Thanks! It's better with a friend :p @castitatis Thank you!! @100th-coin oh yea pico8 rocks! There are many other valid combos and their counter upgrades. Which is a thing I'm really proud of. @cogcomp Thanks for the praise! I've thought about a single player version but I wanted to focus on 2 player and luckiliy I had someone to test it with while developing :) @king-zhou Thank you! @sipfindel Thanks! I also think it slaps! Coop ftw. @cobrajs @ghostbomb Thank youu!! @jimbly OOoo you are the fisrt person to publicly confess playing with a friend! I'm glad you had a lot fun :))

I played this with my husband and I totally lost.

The various upgrades are what makes this game (and the homing one is just not fair :wink:). The graphics are obviously simple (as it's a pico game), but they work well, and the colors are well-chosen. It's a neat bit of fun.

steffo 2022-10-16 23:57

I love, love, love how the SFX works here, it harmonizes so well...

mikouaji 2022-10-17 20:56

Its really fun :) Plays great, feels polished and the upgrade system is a great touch :)

verbante 2022-10-18 09:31

@fabula-rasa Ah glad you liked it! I thought homing was one of the underpowered upgrades, so I'm also glad to hear that it was a challenge. @stefo Thanks!!! It's a minor pentatonic scale. Each player has their own octave. Easy recipe if you feel like using it in your games :) @mikouaji thaankss!!

The game feels so dynamic, colors and artwork are pretty smooth and aggressive at the same time. I would like to have more levels, otherwise keep developing great games! You got my 5 stars ;)

@aj-studio aww thanks!!!
