The graphics, though simple were decent for a game jam.  They were clear and served there purpose.  No sound.  The controls were\/are truly horrifying and drain any fun out of the game.  Might be different if I could customize them but the key mapping was brutal.  \n\nMy only other complaint is there is no way I could see to exit the game. I had to force kill it.  No mid game menu, that I found. No exit game from the main menu, where you end up at, the game over menu.  \n\nI like the concept though and the adherence to the theme.  It felt like the start of a cohesive game, prob would be a good basis for a 4 player SSB style party game.\n","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"cheesepencil","author_uid":"1143012","time":"2020-04-20T03:47:12Z","epoch":1587354432,"modified":1587354432,"text":"I'm really bad at this!
