The Bridge by Yngar

[raw]
made by Yngar for LD28 (JAM)
You only get one enemy.
These two rectangles hate each other. Knock the other off the bridge to win.

This game is 2 player only.

Player 1 uses A and D to move left and right, W and S to spin, and G to jump.

Player 2 uses the arrow keys to move and spin, and space to jump.

This game was my first ever attempt at making a 3D game, I had to scrap a lot of ideas because I was learning as I went. It was pretty difficult but I learned a ton doing it.

For a first try, you've done a great job!! I got my other half to play this with me - it's fun! I like the lighting - nice and atmospheric.
Maybe post-competition, try add a single player mode and program a CPU AI.
Well done!

As the others said - fun game, and I like the lighting as well. Sound/music would be a nice addition, but other than that the game got everything it needs.

really cool, the idea is awesome!. a progress bar will be nice too, I was about to put a comment that didn't work cause took some time on first screen. also, an CPU opponent will be nice.

Very simple, but interesting. I was not expecting the z axis to be usable (pushing off front/back), but it provides an interesting twist on a "2d" platform fighter. A longer audio clip would serve you well, methinks.

Night use of shadows and lighting for drama. Thanks for submitting!

This is fantastically fun! Totally the best to play with others. It got pretty heated between a friend and I. haha.
