Yeah... since I was running out of time I figured that I'd skip pathfinding altogether so I could at least get the bare bones of other things going :)

The weapon 2 sprite is supposed to show the player character body diagonal as to be more like a real stance, but I didn't make the graphics show where the head is facing well enough. Thanks for the feedback!
It was too hard for me to beat, but I really like the art.
What I didn't like as much was having to move my hand across the keyboard to press Enter every time I died (a lot ;). I also didn't realize I could scroll the menu with W/S, though that didn't really affect gameplay.
I reckon you could expand on the game by having more bosses and upgrades!
"Even the horses have turned invisible" Made me laugh.
But yeah, very nice work on making a multiplayer game.
Fun time waster. Looks great and plays well. Grabbing objects is a little off though (sometimes doesn't grab when I expect it to). Maybe an increase in grabbing range would be better, but it's fine already. I think having long-term goals would be make the game even better (like in a cookie-clicker-genre kind of way) !
Ah, these gamemaker 8 effects make me nostalgic! While the gameplay is a little repetitive, the shadows make a very suitable atmosphere. I do agree with using mouse aim, though I feel there is a certain skill to doing it the current way.
If you were to expand on this I would suggest adding upgrades and more enemy types.
