Entire Game Off One Screen by mr_mg
This is my first attempt at any game jams. In my head I expected to get far more done but I think it'll be good experience for future attempts, I actually think getting some sleep so you're fresh might be more sensible than staying up!
I quite liked the subject and decided to go to a bit of a different take than other people have been going with. The idea of the game is to knock the other characters off the screen. The game is only really fun as a 2 player game as I didn't get round to adding any AI for the other players. I had a grander idea to network the game but just couldn't fit it in.
Controls:
WASD = Player 1 movement
Left Shift = Player 1 jump
UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT = Player 2 movement
Right Shift = Player 2 jump
Otherwise click with your mouse to get started.

Great way to make the theme work for you!
The graphics are okay. The text could be in higher resolution.
Nice game!
It's a pity that the game has no sounds and I really like that when you press the Jump button twice it drops like a bomb (actually, I don't know if you did that on purpose, but still).
With more tight controls and dynamics this could become a great party game :D
Pretty good for your first jam!
The original plan was to also make a socket server to go along with this so that it could be 4 players battling over the internet but I ran out of time. I also wanted to create some AI for the other balls so you could play on your own so those are two features I will look to try and add.
I feel the friction is too small so that I have gone off the edge several times by myself LOL.
Maybe I'm just bad at games LOL.
Even if the game is not very fun in itself (I blame the controls: you are hardly in control actually), there is a nice packaging (the intro, the instructions on the screen...).
Good job, hope to see you next LD
