EDIT: we presented this game at a games festival and won people's choice award. Read our post about it here: http://ludumdare.com/compo/2014/12/16/platform-31-won-an-award/

EDIT 2: Many people complain about not having a number of rounds, or it being too mood-breaking having to click on Play everytime they die.

Included but not announced is the feature:
*** If you die, press spacebar for revenge. ***
-----------------------------------------------

*** Si mueres, pulsa espacio para pedir la revancha ***

Had fun with this one. Colors are pretty and power-ups felt just right. I like the shotgun a lot.

Whoa, so polished! Screenshake! Change language?! Never seen that much attention to the small things in an LD game before!

Game itself: Solid approach to local mp, decent balance between mechanics, power ups, environments. Good job!

The game is fun but we miss some features of competitive games like a victories counter and a three rounds match, because we feel the game ends really fast.
The graphics are cool and the lighting looks really great.
Good job!

Very cool game. I love the graphics. To bad that one shoot kills the enemy. I'd like to have health bars for the opponents.

La ambientación y el nivel de pulido son 5/5, ¡felicidades!. A ver si mañana puedo probarlo en el curro con más gente, porque para un solo jugador no es que ofrezca demasiado reto ;P

¡Buen trabajo!

Very cool and highly polished local-multiplayer game. The lighting is awesome and the mechanics are simple but fun.

Great job! :D

The most polished game I've seen on here so far! Had a ton of fun playing this with my brother. I loved finding all the little details like clashing bullets and shooting between train cars. Nice work!

The style is pretty solid and the gameplay is really smooth. Maybe the frequency of the train is too high, but that's just a personal opinion. Congrats!

The graphics are stunning and the gameplay is a hell of a lot of fun. Can't really say much, except that it's one of the best games I've played this LD!

Super awesome! Shame I can't get the full experience cause I could only rope someone to play for like a minute. Seems like a really cool game though.

Great game, love the graphics, the powerups the train. Everything is great!
My only (little) problem with it is that on ocassion one player would get all the powerups/weapons for a while (2-3 train passes), and the other nothing.

Neat game, I am a Grumpy McNoFriends so I couldn't experience it properly, but what I tried seemed pretty awesome. Excellent presentation, very polished. The train was really cool.

Very polished and fun game! That spread shot is super satisfying!
The game setup reminds me of a 1 versus 1 paintball match, although I do agree that the one life this is a bit of a bummer of the mood, right when you get into it, it's over.

How about instead of a health bar, you can keep the one life thing but make games match based like tennis or something where it's best of 5 game wins

That way you don't interrupt your players "in the zone" moods by going back to the menu constantly to replay and gain their revenge!

Really polished visuals and music. A simple game mechanic, although there's not much variety to the gameplay. Perhaps you could make it so that it shows who won? It's possible that both players shoot each other at precisely the same time, which causes a little confusion. The train is pretty cool. Online multiplayer could be fun for those of us who don't have any friends available :3

Great game. I played it with my daughter and we had fun. My only complaint is that you should be able to choose how many rounds to play. Having to press start again after every kill is no fun. Great graphics and sounds.

On the topic of this last comment, since it's something so many people said, we intended to put rounds and stuff, but obviously a gamejam is a gamejam.

But you can press spacebar to start a new match, so you don't have to go back to the mouse or anything.

Nice game, wanna try it with a friend as soon as possible :)

I can't tell much about the gameplay as I got no one to play now, but you got nice graphics, even more with we consider it is made in Unity.
I think the sound is a little too obscure for the game mood.

Btw, thanks a lot for your feedback :)
