SCROLL BARS
-----
A very simple arcade game. You have two buttons: Grow and Shrink. Do your best to survive, collect checkpoints, coins, and battle items in... LOCAL MULTIPLAYER. You can see the controls in game at the Configure menu. Additionally, a description of the game can be found in the About menu.

-----

Sorry for the ugly swing menu... didn't have time to beautify it before deadline. :P

-----
CLARIFICATION: There is a single player AND a multiplayer mode. The MP Battle game mode is ONLY available in multiplayer and is the only mode with battle items (obviously :P ).

Extremely hard and emasculating

Cool

Laggy control ruined it, but I like the idea and especially the multiplayer.

i dont know if it was me, but the controls are taking like 0.5s to execute.

but the ide,a actually its the first time i see something like this!
you dont need complex graphics to do this, and it make looks even simpler!

I really liked the split screen action. Good job!

Laggy controls? Odd. If anyone would care to give some more feedback about those laggy controls I could maybe look into it. Maybe a short video of the laggy controls in action?

Interesting game! It gets pretty unreasonably hard after speeding up, I found myself just staying at the smallest size and flicking out to get stuff that was near me. But that was still a satisfying mechanic.

The game is really hard! I love that! Haha. It is a cool concept.
There were some bugs, the only way I found to restart the game was by closing it an re opening it every time.

matiasbontempo: press ESCAPE to end game... sorry if that wasn't clear, everyone.

Game with an interesting concept, the gameplay is too slow, it's not really fun. (I guess it's more fun with other players).

And it looked so simple, too.

Simple and hardcore game, nice one :)

The menu is very in depth with options and various difficulties. The game is also fairly difficult since the growth of the bar is in segments. Manages to fit both themes without feeling restricted by them.

Java somehow makes my MacBook want to fly, spinning all fans at max. And the game still seems to run a bit slow.
Anyway, the game is hard!
Will try the local multiplayer when I get to the office ;)

This is a cool little game. I'm afraid it's a little hard because the controls are a little clunky for some reason - probably the "lag" that other people were mentioning.
