Saccade - infinite runner by bbyford

[raw]
made by bbyford for LD30 (COMPO)
General concept was to create a cooperative game where both players could be played by one or two people where the movement of one player caused the other player to be without control for a time, creating a need for the players to be strategic about when they moved to help progress.

Though without ending, I hoped to have the two runners come together at the end of thw game as if running towards eachother thoughout gameplay. They are connected and running from afar to meet eachother.

Controls:

left player - A = left, D = right
right player - J = left, L = right

ENTER to start

All music made on the LittleBits Korg synth

To add to that (sorry), it's a bit annoying having to refresh the browser when you lose

Good game. The music gives a good feeling of urgency.

However, I found that it sometimes didn't register keypresses (I played it a few times to double-check that it wasn't a one-off).

Thought it'd be tougher than it was, I have a hard time splitting my brain controlling two players, but this wasn't too bad. Nice art style.
