Cool multiplayer game! Love the theme. Go 4 players and 5 Computers for computer AI hilarity.

Nice multiplayer game. Seems like we both done similar games from in some ways (multiplayer, arena, last man standing) and even in pitfalls (my AI goes to the player location too :) ). Congrats on making it and bonus points for Haxeflixel, love that engine and Haxe itself :).

AI isn't really hard. 1 vs 5 isn't so hard, but I think that playing it with friends would be better. Also if you're looking to improve your game, look at Fistful of Gun, it may be nice inspiration for you. I really liked pixelart. Gameplay is a bit too simple and improving it with some classes would be nice.

Really nice! I love multiplayer entries, sadly I'm usually alone when testing out LD games, so it was great that this also had AI opponents. Nicely done!

@mihaivdev yeah, the AI is very simple ^^. I did a Flashpunk game for LD29, then recently I ported it to Haxepunk and now I tried Haxeflixel for the first time and I like it for 2d games. Yes, Haxe is awesome ;)

@komilll the AI needs definitely a lot of improvement, yes. I know, it is all against human players at the moment, which is a bit of unfair, too ;) - at least in a last man standing mode. I like your idea of adding different classes. I already thought on adding cowboys. Maybe sometime.^^

@jsmars A lot of LD folk do play alone, I noticed it when I made another LD multiplayer game - That's why I added (stupid) bots ;)

Really cool idea to make game like this. Unfortunately I don't have anyone rn to play this with, but seems like a fun. Just one thing I would like to see as well would be some special items/power-ups and/or blocking. Good job
