I really enjoyed trying it out ! :)

This may need a little bit of balancing, because if you  give all of the upgrades to the same buddy, it can get really op really quick ! x)

Lots of fun anyways, you should be proud :)

I really like the idea, I think it's really unique! didn't really see anything like it in the jam, but actually using the other gun was kinda difficult, yet it did lend to interesting gameplay, like how you could combo two weapon types by giving them to the two players.

Still had a lot of fun trying this one out, good job!

Thanks! I think for further development I would give the second guy maybe 10-20° of auto aim so it's not so tough to kill two enemies at the same time. Glad you enjoyed it!

I tried the game and thought it was a good idea, but a bit too tricky, and I didn't really understand what half the things I picked up was good for. But for some strange reason I kept thinking "just one more time". And finally, i "cracked it" - what things did, how to play more efficiently and in the end I loved it! So a bit of a learning curve, but then really good! The mechanics are cool and the different weapons and upgrades rewarding. A bit more hand-holding in the beginning whould have helped me, but either way it ended up being one of my favourite games so far! Great work!! The sound effects giving some warning when different enemies approach was a good thing!

Really cool game, it is a little hard to switch the characters at first. But it is a fun game!

Great fun, nice play on the theme.  I thought that the controls could have been a little more intuitive.

Sweet game!!!! I loved the concept and execution. Have to say tho, going full in on one characters pays off.

Developer

I found that too, I think the scaling on the bonuses might be a bit much, or maybe I didn't throw enough zombies at you from all sides!

Hi, you got an interesting concept here. Having to rotate the player around to shoot takes some time to get used to, also the screen size could be adjusted to give more focus to the small sprites. Anyhow, nice game!

Submitted

cool idea and concept and good take on the theme . was aa good twist on the top down shooter games. nice artwork and cool little game here well done guys 

Submitted

cool concept with the option of giving different weapons to each buddy, needed a little time to get into which input is for which buddy, but got it and enjoyed it :) good job

Really cool game! The game plays nicely, and the visuals are really appealing. I feel as though the music was a bit too bright and happy for the tone of the graphics, however that's not necessarily a bad thing, just they just feel a little bit at odds with each other. Overall enjoyed the game a lot, especially the shotgun, great work!

The vibe I was going for was frantic rather than happy, but I see where you're coming from. Glad you enjoyed the game though, thanks for the constructive feedback!

Super cool, love the back to back shooting mechanic, I've never seen anything like it before! Seems like a fun concept for a multiplayer game as well. Very neat!
