You want unstable? You got it. Two guys pushing one another off a cliff. You could say their position is rather... precarious. What more could you want?
I'm not very happy with how this one turned out. From technical problems to general braindeadness this game is a pile of trash. However, it's my pile of trash, and as such I've uploaded it for crucifixion by the masses. There's a little more to this game than what's immediately apparent, but not much.

With a bit more work it could be a reasonable couch multiplayer game - currently it feels a bit spammy (just played against myself though) but could be a base for something more.

Боже, как я тебя понимаю. Сидишь порой и думаешь: какого чёрта? Но ты молодец! Очень самобытная игра, таких бы побольше. Нужно больше нестандартного взгляда на игры!

Despite your claiming it's a pile of trash, i still enjoyed it. i wasn't expecting anything, so that made it a lot funnier

It's a nice little game. I wish I had friends to play it with. Otherwise well done!

Reminds me of that old NES game: "urban champion" I think.

Yeah, I won't sugarcoat it. It's not amazing, but with Ludum Dare games, sometimes that's just what happens. I get it.

I give you props for adding music and sound effects, that's more than I attempted. Keep at it! Next time can only be better, right?

You almost tricked me into thinking this was garbage game... but it isn't! Legit laughed out loud. Good job, mate. 👌

It's not much of a game, but I really liked the idea and pun here. I think it would've been better to write that W is "push" and Up is "shove" (or vice versa) to further reinforce the title. Otherwise, nice entry!

10/10 like skyrim, with pushing and/or shoving

Nice and simple battle game :)

I think this is the most original game I have seen this LD, idea and humor is top notch.

Nice little game with an unexpected twist at the end. Some remark on polishing: game window is pretty small on 4K display, it is hard to focus on things.

The game mechanics are solid. I did not have anyone to try it out with, but with some polishment I see it could become a solid, short game to play with friends for fun. The music is nicely done too. Also, I did not see anything similar to this through this whole LD. That's a huge plus for uniqueness. And trust me I played a lot of games this LD :) Good job making working game in such a short amount of time, it is an achievement!
