What a fun (and funny) game! Would be great at a party as a minigame in a collection of sorts.

Simple, clear graphics style. Great gameplay. Would love multiplayer over the network to play this with friends (or even some AI to play against, but now I'm pushing it). Good job overall!

Looks pretty interesting on the video. I'd love to play it. Sadly I can't :(. Maybe if you had some AI, even super stupid and simple...
Also as soon as I enter I am in the red level, no buttons, no UI. Do I miss something?

@sli the start button only shows up if 2 players joined, it's definitely a bit confusing, sorry!

Seems cool visually and I like the music too. I was having a hard time testing it since I wasn't sure how to add in p2 but from the video it looks like a neat concept.

Hard to get what to do. I definitely need some back story on that... rubbeardy thingy?

I played it with my brother and we found out that just holding a direction is the best strategy because you can not die but you instead rotate around the center until you land on a platform again. Some obstacles or a little bit of combat would have elevated the experience a lot.
