That's a minor complaint though.

Nice character select and artwork. Good implementation of 2 button controls. Can see where it would be confusing but that would only add to the fun on a local multiplayer game, and more chaos. People would adapt to the controls quickly."},{"author_name":"mr. a","author_uid":"45525","time":"Jan 5, 2016 @ 1:22am","epoch":1451956620,"text":"Blast!

However, as players lose health, they'll also grow in size, making them able to jump higher and more easily hit opponents.\r\n\r\nCharacters are controlled by two buttons. The jump button makes your character jump (obviously). The movement button toggles your movement, making you either start or stop. Each time you stop your character will switch directions. Characters will always face the direction they're going to be moving in, so don't worry about remembering where you're going.\r\n\r\nDefault controls are based on the layout of a QWERTY keyboard, but they can be easily changed in-game.  A mouse is required to navigate the menus.\r\n\r\n(If people don't like the controls, I'll release another version without the 'two button controls' theme. Maybe. I tend to forget to do those types of things.)","title":"Super 2 Button Growdown"}
