Unfortunately don't have any friends or a controller, but the title screen and screenshots look great. Title music was awesome :)

Fine Fine :) I had some problems playing vs myself ... but I like the graphics and the very cool gameplay. Cannot say anything about the sound or music, cause I had to mute it while sittin in a seminar :D

I think it needs more dynamic gameplay. Overall I liked it.
(BUG: If you detonate bombs and cross the lava, the game crashes)

I don;t have someone to play with me, but still I test it. Cool graphics and music. And the bombs been used as a way to push seems interesting.

Overall, I like it :)

You commented on my game Puddle Maker. It actually on one screen. You warp form left to right and up to down, it makes it seem like the map is bigger then the view :D
cool game btw

We tested with only 2 player but was a lot of fun. Unfortunately we couldn't understand how bombs works. Good Job with the music!

@gameattack You use the bombs to knock the other goblins into the lava! You can also use it to propel yourself forward and surprise the others with a flying ninja attack :D

Overall very polished game for something created for game jam :) I loved that you could use your own bombs to speed travel. I think that it is definetly worth developing this game further.

I really liked the graphics. But sometimes the holes in the ground kept the players away from each other for too long.

It looks great and there's a lot of details. And it actually worked first try under ubuntu 14. A well made game.

My friend and I busted out the joysticks to play this, but only the XBox one worked. Could be on account of silly driver stuff, but oh well.

Anyhow, the game itself had good music and art, and was an overall nice concept. Unfortunately the controls were a bit slippery and the attacks cheap. The game crashed twice for some reason (Just stopped responding).

Nevertheless, it's still a fun game.

Collision boxes are sometimes a little confusing, mainly when two players are really close and trying to melle attack one another.

The game crashes constantly, probably an issue of GameMaker running on Windows8.

Gameplay is fun as heck, we played 4 players and it kept us playing over and over despite the program crashing.

We had a blast when we discovered we could use our own bombs to throw ourselves over lava meleeing against the others, it has many strategic possibilities, really nice job!
