(although should have seen it coming based on the game title) I sadly couldn't test it with someone else, so I had to pretend I was competing against a friend for the purpose of the review.\n\nI liked the core concept, and it's reasonably well executed. As some people have pointed out already there seem to be an issue with the size or placement of collision boxes, though.\n\nI think that with a friend this would have been very fun to play.\n\nThis entry has a lot of potential.
