He didn't like it, though it may be in part because I won every time in which I didn't accidentally jump into a pit.  I really do like the strategy of pushing people into a pit rather than just trying to shoot them (though enough shots will also kill them as well).  Once suggestion would be to have a faster restart after each round.  It may seem minor but having to move your hands off the controls for the game to restart the game especially since rounds are so small disrupts the play quite a bit."},{"author_name":"BuKaneerz","author_uid":"31324","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 3:31pm","epoch":1398785160,"text":"Need more explication in game,\r<br\/>but you did a great work\r<br\/>keep it up !"},{"author_name":"ArthurMaker","author_uid":"17385","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 4:06pm","epoch":1398787260,"text":"This was not that good but the fact that i played it against my friend made it better and it looks like this was your first so yeah nice game check my gameOUT"},{"author_name":"andymar","author_uid":"37086","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 4:30pm","epoch":1398788700,"text":"The guy's face is amazing.

Try to get a friend playing! \r\n\r\nPlayer 1: arrows to move, shift to shoot\r\nPlayer 2: \"w\" \"a\" \"d\" to move , \"v\" to shoot\r\n\r\nYou die if you get shot 3 times, or if you fall into lava! Enjoy :)\r\n\r\nStory: You were two explorers going down to the core of the Earth, but you start shooting each other, because you cant agree whether the uncrackable pistacchios should be cracked or thrown away! :D You also have jetpacks because why not? :D\r\n\r\nI used Game Maker Studio (I only have Standard)\r\n\r\nHi everyone!\r\n\r\nSo this is my first Ludum Dare game! I was really excited about what I could do in 48 hours, but it turned out I only had less than a day... oh well. On the first day when I couldn't really get into making the game i was trying to figure out the idea for it. At first I was thinking about a game where you are a giant worm-thing eating people, but i turned it down, because i knew that there was another game about it( i cant remember its name though) :D I was thinking about a mining game like Super Motherload, but i thought that a lot of people would be making a game like that. I was also thinking about making a bank-tunnel drilling simulator, but i though it would be boring. I always like to bring something new to my games, and i couldn't think of any with this theme :( So i made a generic 1v1 local MP game! I hope you enjoy, try to get a friend to play with!\r\n\r\nWhat went good:\r\n\r\n*graphics are better than expected and as usual, but it still looks awful IMO :D\r\n\r\n*solid code \r\n\r\n*gameplay: the bullet hit, screenshake part was new for me\r\n\r\nWhat went wrong:\r\n\r\n*i couldn't find a good idea with the theme\r\n\r\n*not enough encouragement to fight (in gameplay)\r\n\r\nWhat I learned:\r\n\r\nNext time I will be making a more interesting game even if I don't like the theme. I could have made one of my ideas with a little tweak to the gameplay. I will definitely attend the next LD48, because I enjoyed it despite my idea.\r\n\r\nStill, I hope you enjoy the game, I would be happy if you would comment any suggestions!\r\n\r\nGreetings from Hungary! :D\r\nBalint, 17","title":"A failed journey to the middle of the Earth"}
