Great game. Very impressive for such a short time.

The gameplay needs some improvements, it is very difficult to control it. But good concept.

The controls are bugged, but it's a good game. It can be improved. I download the source. I hope you don't use WTF Photon, but instead RakNet. Well done ++

It's cool how you made a multiplayer game in a jam but it lacks polish (naturally give the time limit). Maybe add a real time render texture to the portal and give it a wobbly effect, also maybe some reason to go there like a capture the flag game. Also tanks should be less slidey I feel. The camera goes through scenery which obscures your view. Other than that very impressive.

A little lonely when I tried it. It is VERY difficult to control but looks good!

The controls are a little bit hard, but a multiplayer game in under 72h is no small feat :P

The idea is neat but the controls were exceedingly hard. Props however for creating all this is the time frame.

Nice visuals, the concept is a fun little game which can be quite intense at points.

The only snags are the controls feel like it's on ice and the weapon feedback is rather pitiful, needs more oomph!

I didn't have anybody to play with either; I really wish I had. I miss Battle Tanks

Fun gameplay. Needs a lot more players. Maybe post it up on a site like Kongregate?

Cool idea and really neat graphics. The controls were a bit too sensitive. I was upside-down a lot.

Very impressive with a little multiplayer game for a LD entry. The controls were really difficult, though, and a crosshair would have been nice :)

Somewhat difficult to control, but otherwise cool game.

Nice take on the theme. Controls are a bit off, but loved the graphics and the feel - you should've kept the music from the main screen going through the game as well:)

Very cool! I always love multiplayer games in ludum dare - it's just a shame I didn't find this earlier when more people were rating! I was able to play a game with two other people and it was a lot of fun, though it could have been more fun if I could talk to the other players. The controls were a bit weird too, I was able to flip myself over and then my movement started completely defying the laws of physics! Despite this, awesome entry! I also appreciate the double bass drums in the soundtrack ;)

I found no one to play it with, this game seems to be a lot of fun :(

The steering is a bit hard, and a crosshair may help to know where are you aiming. I like the party hat on top of the brobot XD
