Greed out in a shrinking death pit of screen-estate. Sabotage your friend with your balls, counter their space-claiming cuts mid-way or trap them in corners while trying to grab all the space you can.
Each player has a single button to control the game (Space and Enter), hold to aim, release to execute.
@senso happy to hear it triggered some nostalgia for you! the first game I played with a similar space filling mechanic was the art class minigame in Bully, haven't seen one that wasn't limited to 90 degree turns though.
@gerald-t-mccoy thanks, the sounds were very rushed and quite different than what I envisioned at first but I like how the game turned out to be a kind of random sequencer thingy, in this way it reminds me of a pong simulator sequencer module I've made in a previous LD jam, the game itself takes more inspiration from the classic Qix than pong but I can see the connection. thanks for playing!
@baturinsky PvE would be useful I guess, but I'm in the process of making other local multiplayer games so I wanted to do that here as well, other games in the "genre" did the single player aspect anyways. I haven't seen Xonix before, my inspiration was the original Qix and the art class minigame in Bully :)
@sinus thanks, yeah the small pause is because the shaders for your stripey arrow and the wall are being compiled the first time. I could've solved it by rendering stuff in the menu with those shaders but ran out of time to do that. Thanks for playing!
Thanks @digitaldude555 for the kind words! Not getting many ratings is completely on me as I got really distracted and haven't rated other games myself either. Also, multiplayer is not the easiest to test. I'll try my best in the remaining hours to rate and give feedback to get more ratings.
The visuals are great! very appealing minimalism, the color choices are very nice. I really like the sound effects they are very good and I am a sucker for more digital bit crushed sounding stuff
The use of the there is very unique here!! you managed to take the theme in a very interesting and fun way! It's a super fun 2 player arcade game, it leads to a lot of chaos
It's a shame that tis did not get more ratings because it's a perfect small game, one of the best I have played, you did an amazing job on this!!
Had some solid fun playing this with my partner! The game is really nice and juicy and I love how quickly you're able to pick this up and have fun. Hope your able to get enough ratings before the end. :)
Not having more ratings is on me, I could've played more games and give feedback but to fix this I dedicate this day for doing just that before the end, the jam spirit of rushing lives on with playing games in the last hours ;)

I noticed a small pause / lag in the game when i shot my arrow for the first time and when i manage to cut of some parts for the first time.
