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."},{"author_name":"Datamosh","author_uid":"10942","time":"Aug 30, 2014 @ 10:34pm","epoch":1409437740,"text":"A little lonely when I tried it.

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 ;)"},{"author_name":"Dohan","author_uid":"14678","time":"Sep 11, 2014 @ 5:48pm","epoch":1410457380,"text":"I found no one to play it with, this game seems to be a lot of fun :(\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The steering is a bit hard, and a crosshair may help to know where are you aiming.
