Hello gamers! I figured I would write a blurb about the game since I did not before the submission time. This is one of many 2-Player games submitted for this compo, so grab a friend and queue up a bunch of 2-player games to play and rate!

Portal Run: Both players start on the bottom of their world, on the left or right half of the screen. The goal is to blaze a path through the obstacles and monsters, pass through the connected portals at the top-middle to reach the other side, and race to your opponent's spawn point to win.

- Obstacles can be destroyed and Monsters must be avoided. As players destroy obstacles in their path they create a mirrored copy of that obstacle in their opponent's world, but this also creates a new monster in your world to navigate past. Avoid monsters or you will respawn at your home, so a balance of speed and carefulness is needed.

- As obstacles are destroyed by either player, a super explosion attack charges up and can be executed by either player with SPACEBAR, causing an explosion around BOTH players that destroys obstacles and monsters in its wake. The explosion ranges from 1-3 tiles in radius and grows with power if you let it build up.

- Player 1 controls: WASD to move, direction+LSHIFT to destroy an obstacle in that direction.

- Player 2 controls: up, down, left, right arrows to move, direction+RSHIFT to destroy and obstacle in that direction.

SPACEBAR can be used by either player to create an explosion around both players, but you must destroy obstacles to charge it up!

I wish this game had a computerized opponent. I tried playing with my room mate and she sucks at everything...I did enjoy destroying her nonthe less :)

An interesting and innovative game. After playing it I'm still not sure of what all is going on or how more monsters appear.

Still a good co-op game to be sure.

Thanks for playing guys! Oath, every time you destroy an obstacle, a monster from the other world appears in yours :) so be careful not to overwhelm yourself with too many baddies! On the plus side, you create new obstacles for your opponent at the same time, potentially forcing them to have to make a monster on their side!

Nice idea, cool vs game. Audio got a bit repetitive after playing a bit.
