This game reminds me of "Battle painters". It's quite simple but very addictive.
The concept of using one key to turn left and right is nice.
I hope you will add AI and some power-ups.
And the concept of graphics is... original :D

Thanks a lot for playing and commenting! We wanted to focus on doing something simple, so our programmer said 'why not using a single button per player?' and we went all in with the idea.

We had some power-ups in mind (in fact, the central pillar can be raised to hold one out of reach seconds before letting the players taking it), but we didn't have time to get it into the game.

It was easier to kick the habit of smoking than stopping playing this with friends.

Very, very, very funny idea. Simple and perfect. Very funny sound, looks like mine: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/the-whole-truth-about-nature-selection. Great job!

Heh, I had fun with my wife for a few minutes. I really hope the sound effects were lovingly hand-crafted during a drinking session, because it really would fit the mischievous nature of the game. I really wonder how it would be to have 4 players have a go at it. Might start a drinking session of my own, with some friends, trying to throw each other to the abyss.

@pascalman

Thanks, we aimed to make something simple but somehow memorable.

@shodanon

Yes, the sound was mouth-crafted thanks to the Power of Beer! If you get some friends together, the game improves a lor, believe us!

It made me laugh :D . Really funny despite of (or thanks to) its simplicity.

Thanks, we aimed for humor and simplicity, so I think we hit the bull's eye.

Fun little game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 38 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :)
