Really liked this game when playing it with my brother though the controls were a bit finicky sometimes for us (we were using a steam controller when we were playing cause we had nothing else so that could be why) but overall really great game liked it a lot!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! We hope to develop this further in the future and will look into all controller types. My friend programmed it with the newer Playstation controllers/Switch Pro controllers in mind. I had issues on my older xbox one as well.

I played this together with my brother and we had a lot of fun! It feel fair and we were pretty tied until the end. It does feel like the one who starts running has a big advantage, but I guess it is hard to do something about that :/ The feedback was also great, and the visuals beautiful! Really well done :D

One little bit of criticism is that the transition when you die is very sudden. Sometimes I immediately ran of a platform because it was suddenly my turn. Maybe a smooth camera pan to my character would already help. Another thing was that I was playing on keyboard, and here I did not know what my controls were. After a bit of trial and error we found out, but still something to note :)

Great little game! We enjoyed it :D

Developer

Ah yeah, we plan on adding some type of minigame to the start to decide on who goes first. Some type of 1v1 thing.

Also yeah, the sudden spawning has been an issue. We hope to add a quick "ready, go!" type of timer to it where time freezes so you don't just accidentally walk off the cliff.

Thanks for your feedback!

I didn't have a buddy to play with but I tried it by myself! I am not a very good opponent for myself... I need to train to beat me.

This was a very complete PVP game!

I loved the ambience, art and the music. A few things though: the slopes are little hard to walk up on, and the jumps were a little floaty. I liked the double jump option. The gacha system is really interesting, but a bit hard to trigger properly.

Very solid entry! Enjoyed it quite a bit, great job!

Nice game, i await more updates after the jam

are there going to be updates?

Developer

Yeah actually, we're planning on continuing to update it to release it on platforms as a complete game with other gamemodes and such. Probably 4 players as well.

Great game, I would have loved someone else to play with as I felt a little like geri from "geri's game". The art was great, the concept was incredible, it was extremely polished. Amazing work, 5 stars all round.

Looks great. Evidently needs a controller to be played properly. Could used A/D for movement and found SPACE for jump. Could not figure out what the other controls were for keyboard mouse. Didn't progress very far.

Submitted

Love the colours used.  Very retro game feel.  Would prefer keyboard but glad I had a controller lying around.

Submitted

The game is very interesting I love it, but the only issued I have is unable to control this game on keyboard as well. I would love that feature. Great game and the theme is amazing.

Submitted

Very interesting game. The only downside is having to play in 2 players. Other than that everything feels good and responsive. Congratulations and good luck on your entry!

Submitted

I dind't have a controller to play it :c but the art style is incredible :D

This game is awesome! I really hope after the jam you guys come back to this and keep working on it because I am really impressed with your work!

Submitted

This game looks really awesome but I am unable to play it on PC? It doesn't say the controls for it on PC and I don't have controllers to play with my friends. Can you add keyboard support? Because this game looks really awesome but I just can't play it :(

Developer

Ah sorry, the way the inputSystem was set up you need at least 1 plugged in controller to play. We want to fix this eventually but couldn't find a workaround in the timeframe. I'm sorry about that!

Submitted

I really like the style, but there's no point of the game?

Developer

Unsure of what you mean?
