Fun idea! I included it in my PowerPoint Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

That's a really clever way to bring some action to this jam! The graphics were really appealing too.

Oh, Tug of War! Oh, the scent of sweaty bodies brawling under arcane commands  of dexterous hands of who they might call "gods"! Rope singing like a string, stretched to its limits with limbs of furious competitors, such a tension! This game is an excellent example of simple idea wrapped up with both esprit and assiduity, look how thoroughtly your troops are pictured in each frame of their fight!

I may not have friends to spent time at this game with, but at least now I know that my right hand is superior when it comes to terms of dexterity, ahaha!

Red: turning PowerPoint's feature into a key feature

Blue: it's too simple to say "naw", maybe a good fighting music could spice up the mood!

Nice try to make a competitive game for two players in PowerPoint! You didn't even used macros! You used slide switches only. Well done!

Im late to reviewing this, but i have to say it is amazing. The graphics look proffessional and its a very clever way of a function we all ignored.

4/5 Game Design - No bugs. Atleast none that i found.

5/5 Graphics - They just look professional while being simplistic.

1/5 Story -  I mean, it doesn have one

3/5 Comedy - Atleast to me its fun to see these stickmans fighting

5/5 Use of theme - How did you come up with this? You used an annoying feature of powerpoint to make a game, meanwhile we all did novels and mazes on kiosk mode.

This is fun, works great and looks good too. As @Roofkat has already said, this is a very clever way of using PowerPoint's basic inbuilt functionality to make a game. It's going to work on every version too!

Really fun!

Played it with my girlfriend and she got really into it & won ^^ 
Really clever way to work with PowerPoint to make something interactive.

I was going to recommend putting this in kiosk mode & making some slides unable to advance by pressing buttons (such as when a player has won) but I realize that may disable the buttons, and it works great already. Cool entry!
