It's You or Me by JtM

[raw]
made by JtM for LD27 (JAM)
This is a two player game where you fight for survival while both plummeting to your doom (for 10 seconds ~490.5 meters).

The objective is to land on the other player's head in order to survive the fall.

Player 1 controls are WASD for movement and holding E to charge a dash move to stun your opponent.

Player 2 controls are Arrow keys for movement and / (i.e. ?) for charging dash.

Both players hold down to begin.

R resets the game.

I'm drawn to simple stuff like this. Reminds me of Bennett Foddy. :)

There was an old game similar to final fight where there was a scene light this one, where you fall and have to grab another guy. I think it was The Punisher.
Anyway, nice work

Hah, pretty solid, but I am forever alone and have no one to play it with right now :( Some AI would have made it better for the jam :P?

Very well executed though, feels smooth and polished... good luck!

Great and fun game. A score for each player can be a great idea.

I love the splat sound effect! It would be cool if there was some sort of notification at the bottom to press 'r' to restart, and say who won.

cool twist upon the usual fighting game stuff. could have a great future, never seen anything like it before. some music would be nice, but the sound effects are really satisfying.

Interesting idea. I tried it alone but definitively need another player to get the most of it. Are you planning on adding an IA post jam ?

Simple multiplayer gameplay! Just wished the 'dash' effect had better feedback, we couldn't really tell what it did. Also a restart button at the end would help a bunch!

I've made an updated version with animated characters that hopefully adds some more clarity and personality to the game: http://twolivesleft.com/ItsYouOrMe/Updated/Web.html
