haha Thats fun ^^ I think this would working great as a multiplayer. Maybe next time you could make also a background sound. Not only beeping noises. Something epic :) That would fit great - Because thats an Epic and easy game! It's raining stars for you!
As someone else noted, more visual distinction would have been nice among the characters.
I also found there to be too many players on the field. Perhaps after playing it for a while it becomes easier, but I found that it was overwhelming for the first few seconds to figure out what was going on.
It also makes it difficult for a specific individual to get items, since the likelyhood of being the closest to where it spawns exponentially goes down with more players.
It was a nice idea overall, but I felt like it was too chaotic personally. I didn't feel as if I had any impact, I was but a pawn put on the field to battle other, better pawns haha.
I see that it is an online game so I admit that the strange lag movement I experienced is normal. A bit difficult to control though, but interesting arena concept nonetheless.
simple and smart gameplay. The game would have been easier to understand with a short intro sequence ( with some flashing Player 1 arrow indicator ) and a timed respawn sequence for the sword. At first I was thinking the sword was falling in the wrong place because of a bug before realize it was a respawn.

@hogjed the number of players depends on how many people are online at once. Perhaps I should have enforced a maximum of around 4.
@AtomicVikings It is a multiplayer, did you only get to fight bots?
But really impressive indeed that you can get multiplayer for LD!
Simple but fun lol. :D
