Jump, shoot, throw grenades, place cubes and destroy everything. That is the idea.
You can place 5 different cubes. Reflect - it shoots back to you. Teleport - teleport the player to a random location. Ammo - recovers the grenades. Life - recovers the life. Spike/Saw - causes damage on touch.
All the instruction are ingame, before you start to play. (if your controllers doesn't work, close the game, setup your controllers, then open the game again)
Team: Roni Silva (me) - Programming, Animation/Particles and SFX. Carolina Porfirio - Art (almost everything). Di Zapata - Music.
External tools: A* Pathfinding Project - (base for our pathfinding/AI system) Vector Chimera - (to change the Player2 sprite colors) Tom Vian (Super Flash Bros) 2010 - (to make our SFX)
Great graphics and audio! You've got the start of something interesting here. I like that there's an automatic demo with the title screen. Very old school that way.
The shooting part of the gameplay is incomplete. It's very shallow being locked horizontally like that. It's basically whoever has the highest health wins in a direct confrontation.
Gente! muito bom mesmo! os gráficos ficaram simples e as animações fluídas! muito show! a música e a sonorização tbm! Parabéns! é nózes kuupu!

Me and a friend were talking about particle effects, and discussed one of your blog posts, which showed the blocks exploding. Wanted to play the game since then, glad I finally did! Well done, nicely polished. It feels like a finished game, or at least a vertical slice of one.

awsome game :D continue to improve it, can be a good deal :D
I like the concept, but after a while there were some pretty frequent frame drops. Also, I wish health were over the player's heads so I could get a better feel of when I'm about to die, without having to look all the way at the top of the screen.
Wow, really awesome. I had to pull myself away! I downloaded the windows version for some multiplayer fun next time I have someone over :) Art style is awesome, music is awesome, gameplay is stellar!
Jogo muito divertido! Animações bem feitas, partículas deixam o gameplay visualmente divertido e muito bem acabado. As mecânicas também ficaram bem interessantes. Parabéns pelo game! (;
wow, ficou bem interessante! o único ponto que eu destacaria que poderia ser aprimorado para uma versão futura é a AI do inimigo, que não consegue chegar ao topo da tela algumas vezes. E é, como alguém aqui abaixo falou, demorei um pouquinho pra perceber que bloco era o próximo que eu usaria mas ficou bem viciante! me divertindo bastante aqui xD
Imagina esse jogo com quatro pessoas, cada uma em um controle, numa tv? Ia ficar animal, hein? O jogo completo esta muito bom. A mecânica de criar blocos eu curti e a IA ta muito boa pra quem teve de implementa-la na Jam. Meus dois cents: se eu não me mexo, a IA também não, ou demora horrores para tomar uma decisão. NICE JOB!!! (y)
Nice entry =) Simple but fun as it should be, good thing you spend time creating an simple AI, otherwise it would have been harder to test the idea. It took me quite sometime to understand the blocks power though. The screenshake and details were what made the game a lot more entertaining also. Bem, bom trabalho de qualquer jeito =)
Nice game - keyboard controls are hard, but xbox controller seems to be working fine. Other than that very addictive and challenging. (btw, once you downloaded my game, is it less laggy for you? Press [q] to toggle render - that might help)
2P would be more fun than that AI. I think having powerups that give more information visually as to what they are would be nice. Overall great job though.
Long version: Multiplayer "sandbox" platformer in 72 hours, simply amazing! This is as good as a game can be. The graphics are nice, the audio is catchy and I'm sure it is infinite amount of fun to play with someone - I don't have anyone else here to play with at the moment. Keep up the good work!
Purrfect, it is Kardfogú-approved. Kardfogú of Creative Sectors, out.
woah! this is extremely fun. im gonna have to find an irl friend to try this with. love the sounds and in general this game feels great. also loving the title screen demo.
very creative! The block placing mechanic actually introduced quite a bit more tactical depth than I would have initially thought. Not all of the blocks made a ton of sense, though, in terms of their effects in battle.
What a great multiplayer game. Like the graphics, the sounds, the gameplay. The AI and to learn all the different block mechanics are a little hard for beginners, but maybe I'm just not good at this and need more practice ^^ Well done, putting it on Twitter :)
Wow what a well polished set! Love the gameplay, the juice is amazing, the sounds and graphics, everything. It's basically a done deal :)
It plays a little unsophisticated though, despite all the options you have, it comes a lot down to who gets to face the opponent more often than the other, and that becomes a game of if you win the first exchange, you'll lose the next one, etc, etc.
Getting in a "lucky hit" with the grenade becomes pivotal, but it basically drifts in one direction + bounce, if you stay away from the other players' grenade zone you're likely fine...
Not sure if you can select weapons or what.
Oh and jump on the keyboard, imo, should be up (w), not space. Up is more intuitive on the keyboard.
Eventually we were both at the bottom, just shooting one another without much movement, so the fun had gone all away. Building bricks could be bigger, and restrict shooting somehow. Grenades weren't of much use, either.
Sounds are pretty good, and so are the graphics. A bit more of work refining the mechanics could go a long way. Good job!

vamoo :D
AI stop to move at times (probably to think about a devilish plan).
The gameplay is interesting too.
For some reason I just couldnt shoot anymore though? Not sure why.
Give mine a try, http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-31/?action=preview&uid=44154
Bem, bom trabalho de qualquer jeito =)

Also, you guys really polished this! :)
It should be really fun when playing with friends. :)
Probably is much better with 2 players, but the CPU also works very nice for a Jam game!
Congratz!
I want to plaaay, but i can't play unity games!!
Excellent work on graphics, sounds, gameplay, AI, etc.
Really nice entry :D
