I really enjoy the screenshots but sadly I can't find any players :( Looks like a great job for LD anyway!

Same as above, I wait and wait and wait and can't find any other players. :(

I actually managed to find two other players! Even if one of them disconnected partway through the second level, leaving us unable to jump.
It's a neat idea when it works. It would benefit from each role being a bit more fleshed-out, except that would kinda go against the theme.

launch page looks cool, but I don't have anyone else online to play.

it was a lot of fun, though very frustrating when you have no idea what the other players will do. I love it.

Pretty fun game when you can find others online. The game is a bit too unforgiving though. It's really easy to make mistakes and resetting the whole level can be frustrating. Over all I think this is a great entry. Good job!

I like the three person play controls. I think this would be great for couch co-op, but it really doesn't work on the web since you can't communicate with your partners.

I liked the concept of three people playing, however trying to coordinate three complete strangers is a very tricky proposition. The art was quite nice, and I feel with some more work (possible local co-op?) this could make a very nice post-compo. Good job!

Can't play without other players online :-(

Awesome idea. Too bad there are not enough people playing it. I played it in two seperate windows with the third gnome being played by someone else online, and I wasn't able to keep up. A chat window would have made it much easier to communicate.

That was so hectic with 3 people controlling the same character. We couldn't make it past the 2nd level though, oh well. Pretty good concept, nice job.
