HotPotatoHorde by ludotrix
Local co-op mayhem with endless waves of infernal enemies. Team up, count down and get ready for the multiplayer action. But, as the theme suggests, you only get one! Strong team, different skills, colorful playing styles and versatile tactics - but only one gun. With only one shot. Yeah. You only get one. Each. At the time.
Master the timing, evade the horde, blast 'em to pieces and remember to toss the gun to the next guy. It's like a hot potato with once-in-a-round blasting power. Blast modifiers add to the devastation and horde spawners keep you busy. Dynamic levels challenge your gun-juggling skills to the point of mental breakdown.
IMPORTANT:
----------
- Download URL is a direct link to playable Unity web player version (browser plugin needed)
- 2-4 players on a same PC
- Individual player controls shown on menu screen
- Fire buttons are: SPACE/ENTER/Mouse1 (all buttons control the one and only gun!)
- You can change the control scheme from absolute (direction move) to relative (turning + forward/backward)
Enjoy!
After-Jam update: Fixed occasional bad lag and inverted gamepad y-axis.

I'd like to see a one player mode where each life alternates a different weapon. I played it with 2 characters at the same time (which was pretty cool too).
Also, electronic/futuristic up tempo music would fit good.
The changing battlefield was cool. And the theme implementation was remarkable, sharing one gun among all players.
I'd love to see a one player mode for this, with an AI companion or something.
Anyway, it reminds me of Android Cactus! :D
