It's a fun game! But it's difficult to try it alone. It could be nice to have a single-player option so more people can play it!

Fun little game! I played it against a 5 year old and we had half an hour of fun playing it (she isn't experienced with a keyboard so I played my character a bit slowly) :)
we didn't use the destroy/build wall feature though, and it's not clear when it "recharges" - also, if you replay after a "game over", then the destroy/build wall remain unavailable after having been used in a previous game, which seems like a bug.

Amazing game :D it's a bit of a shame that a second player is strictly necessary, but I loved the idea

Two play game! Great. Thanks for taking the time to have controller and even let us pick the left or right side.

I never figured out the win condition for Theseus - is there one? Or do we take turns to see who can stay alive the longest?

Neat little game! Graphics are nice, love the game over illustration, haha! It would have been nice if there was a win condition for Theseus too, but alas. Well done!

Very good idea, really only a single player version was missing. But in this case I know it would take a lot of work and time to program the machine's AI...

It fits the theme nicely and has a nice mood in it. The requirement for two players may not cater to everyone. Great work!

Unfortunately I didn't have anyone to play with but overall the game looked fun, I liked the idea of it along with the sounds.

Couldn't really rate the fun of the game since I am only a single player. Otherwise looks pretty polished! The audio really contributed to the mood, and the run cycles were pretty funny! As others have said powerups would have been awesome, if only to encourage the players to go to certain locations.
