For a short simple little game like this, I actually had quite a lot of fun.

I'm glad you didn't explain the game in the description. I had no idea what to expect, so I had quite a hilarious moment when this dude punched me back! The game kept surprising me, and I was smiling basically the whole time! It was hilarious to have this dude chasing me and trying to punch me, but we're friends tho... XD

It's like a co-op game, but you play by yourself and you hate your co-op partner, but you like them too, lol. I've never seen this kind of game before!

This is actually inspiring me to make like a comedy puzzle game or something... I don't know. I feel like I learned some valuable game design lessons just from the joy of this 5-minute experience. I won't forget this one! Thanks for your creativity.

Fun mechanics! Actually pretty similar to Get Yeetin (you should try that one).  Pink rectangle is a jerk so I punched him.  The end.

And a little bit similar to Mimicus :)

UPDATE: just a note, if you get punched off the elevator platform and the other guy is up above, you get stuck down below and have to restart the game...

Great use of the theme! I love it!!! Fun little game. Would have really liked to play more - obviously we only had 48 hours though!!! You should make more if you feel like it though. I think it is a great idea, super fun game. Two little  suggestions: I really disliked using the mouse click button to punch. It really made it difficult to control (just my opinion!!) I think a button would have worked better (or you could even map another button to the punch action so people can choose to play how they like ;D). Also, turn up the music volume. Even at 100% master volume in settings, it seems like there was no background music. When I cranked my speakers I could only hear it somewhat. 

Very fun, great job!

Very clever idea, I feel like with some more time and polish this could be a solid game. Definetly gave me Thomas was Alone vibes, which I enjoyed!

What a neat little game!
I enjoyed punching my arch-nemesis (the pink rectangle).

Not sure if my screen's aspect ratio was weird — but there didn't seem to be a quit button anywhere. :o
