  • Move your mouse to move in direction
  • Hold your mouse to boost
  • Collect stars to increase you speed
  • Stay alive and kill other players
  • Because they stuck in YOUR loop

If online is zero players (yeah I'm not popular) you can press 'Add bot' button at the bottom-left corner!

I can see this concept being quite catchy. Played for quite a bit as the biggest fish in the pond. Would probably help to add more feedback when you get damaged. Overall I think its quite fun and mad when a lot of people are playing!

"If online is zero players (yeah I’m not popular) you can press ‘Add bot’ button at the bottom-left corner!" bigger games just do this without telling you lol

also fun game! well done. There were other players at the time of writing this.

Really cool game idea for this theme. It's really impressive how you got this all up and working within the time limit for Ludum Dare. Hope to see more multiplayer games like this one in the future because it was definitely interesting to play.

A quite ambitious idea. Not many people take on multiplayer for Ludumdare. Fewer get it working. Great job.

Loved it. Bots were hard and painful: just like real players. Health meter got out of control quick, but overall it didn't crash. Nice!

Interesting idea.

I like the minimalistic graphics; a bit of sound would have been nice. Also, I hadn't noticed the Add Bot button so after getting rid of the previous bot, I was just coasting around collecting stars -- maybe some automatic spawn of a new bot after *X* seconds.

The game got a bit laggy after a few minutes, dropping frames quite noticeably.

Great IO game, but there are no players online :(

Good job! The collision is a bit wierd sometimes. Take a look!

Good job on making a multiplayer game, and on creating bots to populate it. It's not an easy thing to do. It could be improved with some audio, but overall it's a solid entry.

Cool idea, but would have liked to see bots or something sop I could have played against someone/something. Well done.

Interesting take on the theme! Seems like a lot of the .io games. Could be successful as a mobile game

Pretty cool game and a nice concept.I like the minimalistic art style although, just a tiny bit more colour/stronger colours would stand out nicely. Collision can be a little jerky at times but nothing crashed which is always a plus! Really good job on doing a successful multiplayer for a jam.

To me, multiplayer is ambitious but clearly you figured it out - nicely done!

Nice game. Interesting if you play versus one player or many players.

Cute graphics, I really enjoy that purple little space ship. Here is the problems, maybe you need to add some music to make the game more vivid and also the control is not that smoothy, why not try controlling by keyboard?

Really nice take on the theme! I think it is very different than all other games of the jam actually! It lacks some feddbacks unfortunately, such as sounds or animations. Anyway nice job to have created a nice, working multiplayer game! :thumbsup:

Very literal interpretation of the theme! I like it. Also super impressive that you pulled an online game off during the compo, style points for sure.

first hats off to you for making a multiplayer game for a game jam.
I do think that it is maybe a bit to easy to bully the other players when you get big.

Lost some frames a few times that were quite noticeable but otherwise I had fun. Good job!

Super nice idea !
The bots are sadly really dumb so it was not a proper experience.
But with real players, I see a huge potential there !
Because somehow being liked will change each player's decisions. A bit like a swarm.
Super cool concept and could be extended to lot of genres.
.
It reminds me this map of **GTFO** where there is a Ton of Fog, and the only way to move around is to follow the player that is carrying the fog repeller fan.
This bounds all players together making a tension and putting the group in a vulnerable but needed situation !
.
gg and ++ for the fact that you did a Multiplayer game in 72h !
