The fate of the woods are in your hands ! Will you save the forest from the wildfire, or burn it to the ground ?
Buck and Flamy : An Unholy Row is a multiplayer video game in which your compete for the sake of nature. Buck will do everything he can to prevent Flamy to destroy the land.
Burn the woods while you consume, or protect the forest while there is some hope !
Really cute art! the music and sounds were spot on (I would personally bit crush it a tad to simulate the retro arcade feel). I really enjoyed this entry, great work!
First of all, intro screens have cool style! I saw it and thought that I must play this game!)) The mechanics of the increase and decrease in the size of Flamy is very interesting. It seemed to me that the Buck has more chances of success than a Flamy. Though I played for Buck with my left hand and for Flamy with my right hand =)
What a cute game! Loved the look of it. The controls were alright, they did feel a little stiff in places, although the actual gameplay was great. It did seem a little imbalanced, favouring Buck, but was still a very enjoyable multiplayer game.
It seems like a cool game but nobody want to try it with me right now :'( as far as i could try, controlling both players, the slowing down when growing and the life decreasing for the flame makes it feel a little bit harder but in the end i wasn't quite sure, but i could not really talk about the gameplay qs I plqyed qlone :) the design is cute, music fits well with this, it has a great mood and looks like funny multiplayer concept !
The game is great. It looks pretty good and is fun to play (but sadly, only for two players). Although, after playing a couple of games, I realize that Buck is much better than Flamby, mostly because Buck is quicker and flamy have the "weird" fire mechanics that are hard to master. Most of the time the Buck player have extinguish all the fire before the Flamy player has any chance to get close to the house.
A polished multiplayer game, we really liked it. Graphics are great (gba nostalgy, haha), sound is suiting, the gameplay is fun, it's an incredibly solid entry for a jam. I guess the balance is favorably skewed towards Buck, but balance issues are pretty much the norm for the jams. Good job and thanks, it was really fun to test!
It is a very cool concept. It is a pity I cannot play it with someone else^^' Graphics, music, sfx, everything is cute and cool. And speaking about the control, it is a good idea to choose E, S, D,F. It fits to both QWERTY and AZERTY keyboards.
Played this one with my girlfriend, we had a good time:D We felt like the levels were a little unbalanced, but it's hard to tell for sure without a lot of play-testing. A way around this could be making each game a 'match' where it's a best 2 out of 3 and the maps are varied in who has a slight advantage.
Really creative 2-player concept. Oh yeah, and the victory screen was great!:) Really nicely drawn and funny!

We need some serious matchmaking and networking for Ludum Dare - so we can start playing against each other over the network!
