I really enjoyed the game! It's actually a really good game :3 I know it's meant for singleplayer, but if it had local coop, this game would've been even more amazing! 5/5!

I didn't like being forced to use 2 players, but a fun concept over all. great graphics!

Thanks for the compliment XtremePrime :)
But the game IS a local coop game, and not a singleplayer game :D

Nice work ! The controls are really simple but effective and the concept is well found.

But I didn't have a friend around so...

Regrettably, it won't run on OS X 10.9, doesn't even bounce in the dock. Maybe it's just my MacBook?

I can't run it in OS X, the icon appears but the application quickly closes.

@Tangible_Games @lanza sry we couldn't test the os x version because we dont have a mac to test it on :(
But we will soon upload a webplayer version :)

Such a fun game! We tried for an hour to beat the second level, but the controls were too tricky for us (a visible gauge on how far you are about to throw would help, and the wall-jump mechanic is very frustrating - it should be possible to drop down).

Awesome to see a game made with my art ^.^
Really fun as a 1 player game too, sadly I couldn't get past the last obstacle of level 3

Although the platforming physics could have been tighter, I enjoyed this entry. Really well done game for this 48 Compo.

Fun co-op platformer. It might help to have a target reticule when holding your partner, because the throw can be hard to calculate -- this becomes an issue when you throw your friend, slightly miss an enemy, and they immediately die as a result. Great work, especially on the time-frame of the Compo. I'd love to see this expanded, with the platforming tweaked and tested further. Nice job!

This was so fun! We're lucky to have spare humans to play co-op games with when needed :)

Really fun game playing with other people! There were these 2 spikes in level 3 that seemed impossible to get past, but other than that, this was amazing.

Very, very promising game. Also very frustrating at times — many double jumps won’t register, and I can’t find a way to just slide down a wall instead of jumping. But it’s really nicely done, great retro graphics and music, too!

Great entry. The text on the first couple of screens kept getting cut off for me though.

I plays with my girlfriend it was really cool.
My only complaint are the controls key which are too close from each others.
