Playing solo but I can certainly see the potential for fun with some friends, I'll have to check out the post-jam version!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Would be fantastic if it had networked multiplayer but obviously that is asking a bit much :P\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The art and music is really good, thoroughly enjoyed it.  Main feedback would be(and I understand - time limitations): make the power ups and their effects\/durations more obvious and possibly have a never-ending game mode or some kind of time trial.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Great work!"},{"author_name":"StudioWolfox","author_uid":"37162","time":"May 1, 2014 @ 7:46pm","epoch":1398973260,"text":"the level ends with an endless nothingness? :P I like the idea of a downward race against friends. Never seen that before. You can see that you put effort into this game and its graphics. Well done. I like that you got controllers working in Unity. Has always been a hassle for me. (until I found the InControl library). I dont know really why, but the controls are a bit confusing though. It feels reversed for some reason."},{"author_name":"dertom","author_uid":"479","time":"May 1, 2014 @ 7:56pm","epoch":1398973860,"text":"Nice game! It was fun eating through all those walls!
