我单人玩的,感觉双人会挺有意思,因为游戏机制比较有趣,攻防需要一定策略。

Really cool concept! Well done! I wish I had someone to play it with. Idea: what if you can chain together multiple shapes on each side for more shielding?

@andyman404, ah, I'me not sure whether should be more shield, maybe it's too long as a weapon/shield.

Cute little game! It was fun, even though I was only able to play myself. Nice audio too! Good work :)

Interesting gameplay with some smooth controls. This pure aesthetic is pleasant for geometry games. Well done ++

I didn't have anyone to play against with, but it was really fun to just defeat the second player.

I like the mechanic! The rest of the game is thin, but thats okay

Almost plays like a "build it in the arena" robot wars. A cool little concept that could make for a great online arena game. Smooth simplistic graphics which work well with the geometry theme and a nice background tune thats not too in your face.

Good work.

Fun, I really dug it (the guy I beat didn't hahaaa!)
One hit kill seems a bit angry for sake of pacing, perhaps a three hit system or something?

Otherwise having a key bound to restarting the game would be super helpful since we kept going back to the mouse for menus, but I'm nit-picking!

I dig the vibe, the tunes and the sound FX. V. cool, cheers!

Cool competitive game, seems the concept was extended version from Rock Paper Scissors

Cool strategy competitive games, sadly i'm playing it alone, seems the concept is extended from Rock Paper Scissor, Nice try

Very cool concept, I love local-multiplayer games that keep people closer. Well done! :)

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

Pretty fun game, although the rounds tend to be to fast, and not having an instant restart button gets annoying after a time. Also, the music is really neat. Great work! :)

Really genius~! love this design which based on geometry.
this LD just have seen another game similar like this,and you two have different pointcuts,and both cool enough! I love cool game which sample and have some Trance feeling!
btw,both player sometimes may Embed into each other!(but sometimes not be) i am not sure whether this is your particular design or just a bug! but anyhow i love it! and this is really cool,because under the circumstances,only let rotate can solve it and it will cause to duke it out! how flaming hot!(超燃短接战!) meanwhile,i also think if there are more external factors to cause players collide each other ,it must be more like a Duel!( Like two samurai!)

all in all,i will save it in my computer and will play it more with my little brother in next days,because i think it is already a nice toy currently~of course ,if there are some big level and more rich enviroment,it must be more cool!

Just hope to see more new update in future~ Cheers!
