I can't play this game coz I'm alone ._. But I lover the retro feel to the background. Reminds me of the old Zelda games on the gameboy. Great job!

I can't properly play this game because I'm alone, however I did try it out as much as I could. Your graphics work and audio is fantastic. Great job!

We played this and I had a feeling it was a bit too hard for the fire spirit. But overall its a good game - great idea and very innovative :D

Really cute art! the music and sounds were spot on (I would personally bit crush it a tad to simulate the retro arcade feel).
I really enjoyed this entry, great work!

First of all, intro screens have cool style! I saw it and thought that I must play this game!)) The mechanics of the increase and decrease in the size of Flamy is very interesting. It seemed to me that the Buck has more chances of success than a Flamy. Though I played for Buck with my left hand and for Flamy with my right hand =)

Very good entry - gives quite a lot of fun in multiplayer. Keep up the good work. It is unbalanced - as one side has slight advantage.

We need some serious matchmaking and networking for Ludum Dare - so we can start playing against each other over the network!

What a cute game! Loved the look of it. The controls were alright, they did feel a little stiff in places, although the actual gameplay was great. It did seem a little imbalanced, favouring Buck, but was still a very enjoyable multiplayer game.

It seems like a cool game but nobody want to try it with me right now :'( as far as i could try, controlling both players, the slowing down when growing and the life decreasing for the flame makes it feel a little bit harder but in the end i wasn't quite sure, but i could not really talk about the gameplay qs I plqyed qlone :) the design is cute, music fits well with this, it has a great mood and looks like funny multiplayer concept !

The game is great. It looks pretty good and is fun to play (but sadly, only for two players).
Although, after playing a couple of games, I realize that Buck is much better than Flamby, mostly because Buck is quicker and flamy have the "weird" fire mechanics that are hard to master. Most of the time the Buck player have extinguish all the fire before the Flamy player has any chance to get close to the house.

It's not much fun to play alone, which I always am. Otherwise, the mechanics are well polished and fun to mess with.

A polished multiplayer game, we really liked it. Graphics are great (gba nostalgy, haha), sound is suiting, the gameplay is fun, it's an incredibly solid entry for a jam. I guess the balance is favorably skewed towards Buck, but balance issues are pretty much the norm for the jams. Good job and thanks, it was really fun to test!

It is a very cool concept. It is a pity I cannot play it with someone else^^'
Graphics, music, sfx, everything is cute and cool. And speaking about the control, it is a good idea to choose E, S, D,F. It fits to both QWERTY and AZERTY keyboards.

Played this one with my girlfriend, we had a good time:D We felt like the levels were a little unbalanced, but it's hard to tell for sure without a lot of play-testing. A way around this could be making each game a 'match' where it's a best 2 out of 3 and the maps are varied in who has a slight advantage.

Really creative 2-player concept. Oh yeah, and the victory screen was great!:) Really nicely drawn and funny!
