I am giving this top marks for innovation and fun. The more games evolve the more games like this that require more dexterity and control will become popular. I like those videos of people playing two shooters at the same time and this is almost that in a game. Good job.

Tricky to master, but a great gameplay concept. Nice.

The two player controls is a very cool idea! It's a fun game to play, but I found the audio to be very distracting.

I liked the game, in my opinion the monsters could be a bit more dangerous though, since I survived for like 4 minutes my first try, I'm definitely going to play this together with a friend some time though.

Really cool concept.

Seemed fairly hard until I realised you can just run into the enemies with the ball in your hand, that plus tapping spacebar just ping pongs the ball between the two players regardless of whether they're holding it. Doesn't seem to be any progression with the enemy spawning rate or amount, but can see where you were going with this :)

Got to 420,000 then decided to call it a day. Something like this would be cool to have an online leaderboard :D

Good effort!

rather enjoyable and a pretty novel idea.

plays really well, simple and a smart amount of workload for a jam. Was a touch easy and could do with a slash of enemy variance but otherwise nicely pulled off

Loved the idea! Sound effects were a little grating but the visuals were cute, particularly the bugs :D

A cool take on the already quite unique idea of controlling two separate characters at the same time. Surprisingly fun for such a simple mechanic.

A really good concept that has been implemented well. I had never thought of a cooperative game in this manner before.

Fun little game. I like that you share a key with the other player, although it's a little impractical.

Well, it was definitely lethal. I died so many times haha. Would have been really cool if I had a second person to play with!

Audio is extremely harsh, but the concept is fun. Wish I had a friend to try two-player.

Nice concept, which worked nicely with a controller, was a bit difficult as you only have one life but still fun to play

I'm always fond of any type of grid, but a neon one's always the best! :P

That's quite a nice concept for the game, it's simple but becomes challenging over time. Graphics are simple, but give the game a nice 8-bit-style.

The spiders sound a little bit annoying after some time though (or maybe it's just my headphones).
