The swinging mechanics were kind of odd, but I started to get the hang of it a bit. As usual, particles and overall juice was awesome.

Nice work! I liked the multiplayer part. Maybe something can be better : allows a walljumping a little bit more higher than the usual one. We need to do a lot of walljumping to go above, so we are killed easily. Therefore, it's currently better to stay in a certain location. Think about it! Great great one!"},{"author_name":"DKoding","author_uid":"33865","time":"Apr 26, 2015 @ 1:26pm","epoch":1430054460,"text":"Great stuff! Plays very well. You won't often find me complaining about TOO much going on on screen but this is one of those times. It were at times impossible to see where your character was, maybe make them more distinct from each other? They kind of drown in particle effects and the vibrating screen. :-) Otherwise, great stuff!"},{"author_name":"sbot1101","author_uid":"48972","time":"Apr 26, 2015 @ 1:32pm","epoch":1430054820,"text":"Fantastic compo entry.

This is so cool! I really wanted to make something similar to this, but am a baby coder (still ended up with something I am proud of though).
