Reasonably Safe Working Conditions is a small, one on one platformer in which one player uses the keyboard to jump toward their demise, while the other uses the mouse to keep him alive and from meeting his untimely end.
This game is a single keyboard multiplayer game. So grab a friend and give it a spin!
Very funny concept. Well polished and executed as well, with snappy menus and nice sounds. Nice potential in this concept!
The main issue I can point out is the level design. With only one way to die on the left side, there isn't much of a point for the buisnessman to go there. The only possible 'juke' in the game is on the right side, so every round always plays the same way with the buisnessman dancing around the top right corner jump.
Thanks for the feedback! I added a second spike to the left-hand side as well to make it a bit more balanced. I had accidentally deleted some files halfway through production that made me unable to make big level design changes, so it's a bit rough.
Love the concept and very good execution. Only issue with it is that it needs more balancing. I played against my girlfriend and she always managed to kill herself :D
Noted! If I continue on with this project I'll definitely keep that in mind. Due to this quarantime that we're in it was near impossible to play test with someone on my end, so I had to just kinda guess if it was balanced or not.
Really fun for two people. The only issue I have with the game is that there's only one level. Other than that though I really liked the audio and felt that the graphics suited the game.
Great concept, wish I had someone to play it with. I imaaaagine it would've been great though. Audio and visuals really work well together also. Great job and a great concept!
I grabbed a friend and played it on the same screen. It's actually quite fun, ridiculous and addicting! * The jump feels too sharp and can easily trick the mouse and go to another death point. By accident. * Though it's expected to only have one level because it's Ludum Dare, definitely a variety of stages would be fun. * The left stage doesn't really have much to go on sadly. If the jump was not so sharp, the top-left would be a kill point!
Other than that, its simplicity makes it very polished. That's already a feat to do! Great work~
Simple concept executed really well. Love the idea and the art style. To echo above though, it's definitely very easy for the keyboard player. Would love to see more content :)
Me and my sister enjoy it alot! This theme suits very well to the game, it's very simple mechanic in only one level. It would be more fun if another mechanics introduced and has more levels in it. Overall this is the most simplest but fun game I've ever played in a game jam!
By looking at the cover and screenshots, I was quite hyped because the game looks absolutely amazing visually. However, my ~~disappointment came when it turned out to be just a demo without particular objective~~ oh ok, it's for two players :forever-alone:. But the mechanics and graphics are brilliant! I hope you continue the work and build it for single player because it looks very promising.
