I wasn't going to enter LD this time, however I ended up making this right at the end of the jam in only an hour and a bit. As a result there's not much to it ;)

-- Instructions --
It's a very small two player game where you must both fight over the keyboard.
One person should focus on the red button and the other person on blue.

Press the keys that show up on the buttons as fast as possible and don't let your opponent press theirs! (without any violence of course)

First to 500 points wins :)

Do I use the same keyboard? how does multiplayer work?

Awesome idea. So simple and yet so fun.

Yeah, you use the same keyboard. Basically one person should focus on the red button and the other should focus on the blue button. Sorry it isn't more clear! :)

That wasn't bad! I had a little game with me better half and she seemed to enjoy it. It was really nice and simple! :)

Well done. I like the competitive part of it :) Can be a nice social game at gatherings

Great fun. While we were wrestling for control of the keyboard though, sometimes the game would freeze and it would take a while before the buttons would react again. Don't know whether that would be a problem on our or on your end though. But we had a blast playing this!

I wonder how you made the sound effect for this :D
This seems to be one of those games where you smash the other persons hand when the gameplay gets too vivid.
Nicely done :>

Very well made. I can't see any bugs. Sound was a bit boring, however. Pretty well done overall, especially in a few hours!

Very fun idea. I didn't have a second player to play with but the game is very simplistic and polished. Good job.
