Really nice ! I think the jump is a bit hard to use.

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!
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.
