I spawned as one of the blue players early in the game and started falling endlessly...is that a bug?

Wish there was more to it. :)
The ending was somewhat predictable, but it was still good nonetheless. I liked that the narration comes from the enemy, too :D

Thanks for the feedback! @dvdfu I'm not sure what could have caused that problem, but I think I've fix it.

I, too encountered the spawning bug dvdfu mentioned.
Happened the first couple times I tried playing, but I made it through all the way the third time.

Funny game, but unfortunately no real gameplay. Still a good game to play through

A neat little game. The art does look very similar. Interesting take on the theme.

I really liked this, it didn't look like much, but there's a message behind it and that's always something I enjoy. The end killed it a bit for me though. Would have preferred if both would survive and.

Nice, small entry with a message!

The idea was good and the controls were feelling nice. I hoped it would be longer but this fits the theme. Did not have any problems playing on OSX.

I want to start by saying that I disagree with the last sentence of the game, this is very nice and well worth the play!

It took me a bit of time to figure out that I was supposed to die, some instincts are hard to unlearn :)

The game has wonderful art, I wish that you would make an entire game with similar art, I saw the image that you got the inspiration from, and I dare say that your take on it is a LOT better.

The game has a touching message and I am happy that I got the chance to play it, very well done!

I very much liked the art style and the atmosphere (a shame that there wasn't any music to accompany the visuals) Nice twist at the end, didn't see it coming :)

Good luck!

Awesome! I had a little bit of trouble with the weapon cursor - it seemed a bit laggy when I was airborne for some reason. Perseverance prevailed in the end, however :) Loved the 'tutorial text'.

Oops, that comment was intended for a game in another tab - how embarrassing. ^^ Real review to follow shortly..

Well, that didn't take too long, haha :) Neat take on the theme!

Beautiful example of how easily is possible to give some game an idea and a value. The graphics style is also wonderful!

Incidentally, I've also created little story-driven game from war setting, so if you want, I'd be pleased if you check it out :)

The art is very cool and the idea is very good too. Too bad you didn't have enough time, the game is pretty neat

I pressed every button on my keyboard. Very good of you to code in 2 jump buttons!

I though it was good, I liked that you just have to die. I'm good at that! Cool little game!

Looks nice and can see this could expand to other levels as you gain friends.

Oh. This is unfinished, yeah. But very powerful concept! Few days ago I heard something simillar. A funny story.

Anyway I think you cover the theme by the right way! Good job!

Make L脰VE, not war)) Liked the inversed narrative idea. More detailed gamification of it would be great

I actually liked it despite it's length, however at the end I got a error after the space to continue screen. Overall very good.

I love it, and there's a twist ending! Big fan of that art style too, you did a good job using that effectively. Wish it had some audio!

Really nice look. Really interesting concept as well. Took me a while to figure out what I was doing, only to find out I was doing it right the whole time.

Thanks!

As usual, fantastic art. Shame you didn't have more time! I liked the story!

It would've been nice to a game exploring violence from the perspective of the victim - the death respawn loop is a cool storytelling mechanic - though the joke at the end undermined it. Still a nifty little game though
