Loved the music

I liked the upgrade boxes

I would increase the movement speed and jump height to make the gameplay a bit more fast paced.

@ofiro that's exactly two of the first upgrades we had planned but couldn't find the time to implement :(

Well done on the music and the pixel art. Love the design of the health damaging boxes.

Love the background music, I had fun playing this with my wife - she never normally plays video games but still managed to kill me a few times!

I liked the idea and the music. I wish I had someone to play the game with.

New Vegas! It is simple and good.

Big fan of the music and overall style here! I can see this being a really hectic game, especially scrambling to get to the boxes. I see you plan/planned to add more boxes- extra knockback and more weapon types similar to the the triple shot would be awesome. Nice work!

graphics are nice, music too! I like the idea of this game, reminds me of some old flash game I used to play, though I wish there was a single player mode to this so that players that don't have a second person to play like myself can enjoy as well. the upgrade mechanics are nice as they can change the balance of the game but I feel like the theme isn't fully integrated into the game..

@brainloaf-studio thanks for all your kind words. Yes, we planned to add many features but only got this far in time :P

@0x-void-x0 thanks for playing the game and giving feedback

I liked the game. Good music! Well implemented, works well, we were shooting with my girlfriend haha. Implementing more SFX, like shooting and footsteps would give it more punch. Anyway, very good job!

Its always exciting to see multiplayer LD games!

I would recommend giving your jumps a little bit more leeway then they should normally have to make it *feel* better to play the Dead Cells devs did a talk on this topic if you want to watch it -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtBNffzWhf4

I think its also a good idea to start people in a place were they can't immediately shoot one another or have a count down start so its not just who realized the game started first wins

The only drawback is that I have to convince someone to play with in order to give a fair assessment of the game, but with that said, it looks great and I like the background music used.
