Not rating because I can't play 2 player, but it looks like it would be pretty entertaining!

Played it two player, was very fun. Great job.

We found you could "game" the system by ramming and then shooting, doing all particles of knock back.

Music was crazy... crazy good. (Even though it was a short loop, because of the chaos in it we didn't think it got old, and if was a fun song)

We wish there was less time between matches so we could maximize fun and minimize waiting.

Thanks for playing! My friends and I have a lot of fun trying to get as close as you can to another player to make them absorb all the bullets; it's hilarious to seem them rocket away. Glad you liked the music. It's actually 8 different segments and each segment is randomly selected to avoid being overly repetitive.

I definitely agree with the time between matches being too long. I should have added a slider to the GUI to reduce the time between matches, or a maybe checkbox to display the score.

I LOVE the concept! This would be serious fun with friends on a console. I wish it had some kind of AI so I wouldn't have to play against myself, though.

Simple and nice multiplayer :) Strange that there is just 1% multiplayer games take part in Ludum Dare.

Nice multiplayer game, had some fun with it. Maybe needs a little bit more variety but other than that it's cool. Good job!

I can't played the game, it crashes when I open it!
I used the video gameplay to rate your game. It respects the theme and seems very fun. This might have been better with a few additionnal graphics or simple FX. :)
