Cool job and great story behind it :)

But good Game

Interesting. I wasn't sure what the to do as the white player, but the fact that this is online multiplayer is awesome!

Never really got into a round where anything interesting happened. Also: too soon.

It seems I'm the first to connect.

It is a nice idea for a little online shooter.

Me fingers kept moving from ESDF to WASD and I still liked killing that green guy with his own shoots :D

Extra: Its the 2nd game I see with some networking, which is greater. And the other is the one we made :|

@Lidfrid
Thanks ! Yes i've not really chosen that font, time chose it for me *cough*

@Dioiminik
Yep you are right :/

@ix
I fail to find a counter-argument for the interesting part, sadly.
"too soon", the idea was to react about it, there's no point for me to make that game later and i don't believe in a kind of reaction latency need towards those kind of events, towards any event actually.

@Mythalore
Sorry, i regularly connect to the game to check if the server hasn't died yet and it's ok right now, try to refresh or something :/

You should definitely check Ore Chasm it's multiplayer and everything is awesome about it http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-25/?action=preview&uid=3041

Had to get a friend play it too since I was waiting for another player forever :) The game had a really nice retro feel to it, and if nobody wins by shooting eachother then its a mindblaster :D

Maybe it's because it's 7 AM, but the game never starts... :(

I couldn't try it out, it just waited for more players.

Tried to play it several times now, and apparently no one connects. Too bad, it looked cool! Good luck!

The back story is very gloomy.

Sorry for the lone guys (and girls), it's indeed empty so you'll have to come with a friend or just drop the link on #ludumdare@AfterNet on IRC.

Also i've found that it's buggy in some scenarios that i can't seem to reproduce, just refresh the page.

Nope, I will never read something that lengthy especially with a font this bad and with a color that makes my eyes flowing out of my eyeholes. Other than that, "waiting for more players..."
