It's good and greatly built :D but can you make it so if you die on the same level TWO or THREE times you won't get a heart?
Very cool style & art, fun gameplay if not rage inducing ;)
I only play the game in single player, should be fun for multiplayer as well. Good job!
I really really enjoyed this, especially the gameplay concept and art, but if there is one thing I'd improve, it'd be smoother controls. At first I thought they moved at random along with my inputs. Oh, and props on going with PICO-8.
I had much fun playing this, love the simplistic art and sounds are good too. Could you play and rate my game too.
Came here from the devlog! The idea is pretty unique and I really liked the concept of killing the enemies using the string, it does provide the feeling of being stronger together. The movement though feels very jumpy as if the game is running at a low fps (Ik that the game was designed to be that way but it was something that I could notice a lot XD)). Apart from that really enjoyed playing the game, great work!
cool and innovative game!! I had much fun playing :)
I should have read the instructions because it took me until the birds to realize I could control both characters. Once I figured that out it was a fun little game!
cooool
A very cool little game! In many aspects, the game is great, but I would add the enemies and bullets the same movement on the grid as the main characters. If you want, please rate our game.
Yeah, for sure. Good suggestion!
Awesome game, very fun and challenging at the same time and some of the level designs were great
Thanks Tauheed! Glad you liked the level design :D
Nicely done game! I tried almost the same concept but unfortunately suck at art so just had balls :)
hahaha don't worry man. We are our worst critics!
I like the NES style going on, and that everything fits it, while still having good design of the controls.
Glad this came across :]
Very nice idea, a good interpretation of the theme. Maybe just a little tutorial at the beginning would be better than explaining the controls in the description, but otherwise, this game could be released on steam now and no one would know it was made in 1 week !
Ahhh thanks man! Releasing this on Steam with an enhanced version would be pretty interesting...haha
Really nice idea, and well-executed, also! It took a little bit of time to get used to the gameplay, but teh graphics and audio design was phenomenal! :D
Thanks Icoso! Glad you liked it :D
No worries! I watched your devlog, too, and it was really well-made! :D
nice idea, great job!
Very creative idea, I like it.
The sound just works with me!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow, great mechanic, super polished!
Thank you Dom!
Really original idea which fits the theme perfectly! An impressive amount of levels which all feel different. The secret coins for extra challenge is a great idea.
Glad you liked the coin / heart mechanic! Thanks for playing!
An unusual idea and a pleasant gameplay ! Good job!
Thanks Xatabov! Glad you liked our project!
Very nice game! I really like it!
Glad you did! :D
