Didn't find which file to launch.
Seems to be missing a file/file extention.

The game seems to require Allegro 5.0.

Gaspard_: thanks for catching that! My Linux/Windows binaries had gotten jumbled. It should be fixed now.

Moosefly: were you running on Linux? If you're on Ubuntu 13.04, it's a quick 'sudo apt-get install allegro5'.

I'm having problems playing it- slashing doesn't do anything and rockets aren't getting launched from my rocket launcher. If it means anything, I'm using Windows 7. Any ideas as to what I can do?

Working well on my side. Good little game to play with a friend :)

Cool physics and idea.

Yay works now!
Like the huge explosion of the rocket launcher!

Vnator: both weapons need to have the fire key held down for a moment before firing. Is there any chance that's all the problem is?

Good style.
Could be a bit faster for me ^^

Fun writing and fun context!

Hmm...if only I had another person on hand to play this with. Seems like it might be worth some fun.

Gamepad doesn't seem to play properly for me. Player 2 always seems to look/aim to the right when not actively moving (when they'll aim in the direction they're moving). Moving with the left stick, aiming with the right would seem ideal to me, then remaining facing the last direction aimed in when not actually pushing a direction on the right stick (which is not the current behaviour).

I like the dashing charge the sword gives. I'd be curious to see how they balance up in actual play, or whether maybe the movement speed needs to be upped to better enable missile dodging (or maybe if balancing needs happen, the map could be reworked to offer more close quarters opportunities). Then again, maybe charge speed is enough. Asymmetry is awesome, but needs more playtesting than I can do for you by myself, without a player 2. I do feel like both weapons should offer a fair chance, impending switch aside. Oh shit, wait, the sword can also block rockets.

Not sure I'm a fan of the hold and release to fire the rocket.

Aw, the blood spatter fades away. :(

Now that I read the comments I realize that the firing is working, the movement is still bugged as hell though.

Antidote: a common misunderstanding I've noticed is that if your character is standing in open space (i.e. where there are no tiles), then they will drift freely until they reach solid ground again. Some people have been interpreting this as "the controls don't work", which is actually pretty reasonable if you don't know that you aren't supposed to be able to move freely on those areas of the map.
