I really appreciate the graphics, and the idea to say to the player to choose his control is genious. I like the gameplay but it's a little hard for me ahah
It was cool ! Hope you had fun to produce your game !

Wow, this is actually a gem. Unfortunately I don't have anyone to play this with, but this would be a GREAT party game with the quick rounds and ability to push each other around. Love this concept!!

There are some great level ideas in this game. I especially loved the maze and laser(?) beams.

I LOVE THIS GAME! and I'm playing it on my own! I can hardly imagine how much keyboard mashing fun this must be with a couple of friends playing it as well! You really need to make a full release with better level balancing! Awesome idea! This has so much potential!

Played single player, but will definitely ask my room mates to come play with me later. Fun simple creative levels with strong visuals.

Thanks everyone for the feedback and kind words, super appreciated!

@acgaudette I had to use Parsec and stream+play with my girlfriend, turned out as an okay method. But yeah, a lot was just my left hand

Awesome game! I had loads of fun playing this with my brother. The levels start a bit too suddenly though, I instantly died in most of them. Love the music too! I'm keeping this game to play after this!

What a nice game! With little changes, I would really play it outside of a game jam with friends.
Maybe adding a total scoreboard would ad a lot of fun.
And if the level could switch to the next faster when everyone is dead, this would ad a lot to the rythm and the juiciness !

Awesome fun! I could only try it with 2 players. I wonder, if it really works with a large player count due to the limit of simultaneous key presses keyboards can regisiter. I really hope it does! Sadly, we all won't be able to test it out soon :sweat_smile:

But I'll definitely will try it with 4!

This is great :) It reminds me of a mario party mini game and the implementation is so intuitive

Like a warioware.io game!

Have lots of experience making multiplayer party games and you nailed it - obviously hard to tell as its kind of hard to play with anyone else at the moment, but the simplicity of the mechanics and the assignment of characters and controls is all exactly right.

Unfortunately I don't have anyone else to play this with, but I can tell that this would definitely be a blast to play with multiple people. The hand-drawn graphics are charming and trying to dodge the red stuff is actually really fun. Amazing party game you created!

I don't feel like I can judge this 100% fairly playing it solo but honestly even on my own it's pretty fun. The nervous wobbling energy of the little dot people, how they get snagged on corners in the maze level etc, really adds to the frantic feeling and ridiculousness - awesome stuff. The visuals are super charming too!

Helluva fun!
Played with friends upon release. The screen doesn't fit for some reason and I can't seem to be able to map arrows, otherwise great game.
