the quick rounds make it hard for me to show a large review but the games simplicity counters that.
the characters being able to swing their pick axe in any direction (for me at least) reminds me of an SNES game that is both 2 player and lets the players place and remove tiles.
i do slightly question why '/' is player 2's jump button as that means jumping for quick access requires stretching the pinky/thumb uncomfortably.
i do wonder why plain soil gives some points.
music is great cant say much about that. the sprite art works well with the simplicity.
the jump is slash because its meant to played with two hands, one hand for move and one hand for jump
Thanks for the great review btw
btw ( the way I see it) making the dirt give points makes the ability to be more options and gives the player more creativity on what they should do next, making the game have more strategy and making the game more fun.if the dirt didn't give points the game would feel dull and less fun
I didn't have anyone to play with on the same keyboard, but I thought it was a really creative idea to have a game that you had to play with someone else and really fits the theme of you are not alone. I also like that it was just a very simple play it in 30 seconds and then you're done sort of game. Maybe since it's a 2 player game it was a little difficult but I didn't really like the controls that were given, I thought they were a little hard to navigate
ideas on how to make the controls better?
Good game, could you please rate my game https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-8/rate/1680919 ?
Nice work.. Great to play..
Fun and polished!
I loved the graphics and music. Even though i played it solo, i enjoyed it!
The music is phenomenal, great job! I loved playing it together with- oh wait, I played it solo. Still good though!
lol
Love the music. The idea is really fun. Good job!
good music
Nice art concept, quite simple but entertaining
I played your game on stream! The game is really cute and fun, but the RNG seems unfair sometimes. Maybe spawning equal amount of gold on both sides! and perhaps a solo version. I would also enjoy jumping more, it is such a smooth job!
Loved audio and graphics. Loved the idea!
The only game on this game jam that has couch multiplayer. This concept fits perfectly into the game jam theme
very fun game could only play with myself for now but i will play later with a friend love the audio and the graphics the only problem is sometimes one player would spawn closer to more gold and have i higher chance of winning other than that amazing game
I knew that would happen but I didn't think it would be a big issue. Easy way to fix it tho spawn both players in the middle!
Fun little competitive game, very polished and quaint. There were some times when one side would have more gold spawned than the other, but overall a great game you should be proud of!
Cool game looking forward to playing with someone else :)
👍
I cannot seem to play the game since the / key doesn't work (Might be a keyboard layout related problem). I tried smashing keys around the keyboard to find if there is an equivalent and didn't find any, so the "Press jump to play" is the furthest I could go into the game.
It seems pretty fun tho!
darn i think that would be a keyboard layout problem. I wish I could help
Cool... ;P
only cool?
Yup
This was so fun!
Love the graphics and it was a pretty cool concept! Do you mind rating mine when you get the chance?
no i can't there's no web build
I tried but I ran out of time. :(
