Really nice ! I think the jump is a bit hard to use.
It was harder than I thought it would be! Fun idea, great graphics and audio. Game feels really polished right down to the ever-so-slightly animated background!Great job!
Interesting idea, I like it! It is quite challenging, but this is how it should be :))
Well done! I like it!
Nice work. I really like the visuals and the music. Gameplay was fun as well.
Maybe it was just me, but I would prefer player 1 being controlled by WASD keys and let the arrow keys for player 2, but that's just preference, not a problem. It took me sometime to start because I immediately went for WASD keys an got no response from them.
One minor thing I would say would be good to improve is player movement. As far as I tested, it was impossible to move sideways once you are already in mid air. That was a little bit frustrating, I had to carefully go sideways and jump in order to jump to platforms. It also sometimes reacted to the input faster than I expected, making consecutive jumps when I thought it would do just one.
Nice retro music and artwork! I see great potential as a party game. Good Job!
Loved the local multiplayer addition! Really good music and visuals imo. Took me a while to realise that you couldn't get up to the next level if you were standing right next to the wall :D Overall, great job!
I know this is probably illegal but I played the local multiplayer by myself and found it to be even more fun than the single player. It was cool controlling two characters at once. Controlling even 1 character was fun don't get me wrong, but I enjoyed the added variety and jumping off each other's heads.
Beautiful 8bit art and music! It took me a few tries to realize that hitting the bugs hurt you, but I was able to figure it out. Really cool!
Thanks for your feedback!
Nice game and art. Retro music is cool too. One thing to improve is that it was hard to reach the highest platform (maybe the player could jump a little higher).
nice! really liked the art and the audio . gg
Thanks :D
Simple but fun. One comment I have is that you might want to mention that touching the bugs ends the run. That happened a few times before I figured out what was going on.
Thanks for your feedback. I will mention that.
