This game ONLY works over multiple platforms and is just fully functional with 4 players on 2 PC's and 1 Android device at the same time, sorry ;). You can play the "Hektik"-Part alone on PC, but then there isn't a goal.
Manual:
"Hektik"-Game: Move your platform with A/D or arrow keys and push the Candy with SPACE in the tube with the same color. The player of the "Taktik"-Game can show you the color he needed, by turn on one of the lights.
"Taktik"-Game: Put your "Rock/Paper/Scissor-Knights" on one of the three lanes and fight against an other player on the opposite direction. If you need a special knight, you can send a signal to the "Hektik"-Player, by clicking on of the colored buttons. (The Rock/Paper/Scissor-Rules should be clear :) )

I can't comfortably rate this since I don't have an Android to play the full game, but the art is really nice looking, and the take on the theme is really clever!
I really enjoyed the game and concept. The mood is nice. It's great to make your brain try to think and control all of the three targets at the same time.
The idea of connecting players of such a way seems pruductive, although I cannot fully test a game. Probably it would be better to make an online game for teams of two players each, not involving android devices...
Great to see a project like this in Ludum Dare! I couldn't try it because I don't have an android device, but I think it's really cool this has been made.
