You should consider putting in checkpoints though.

With your gun, you can shoot bombs \r\nwhose explosions affect the terrain  to allow you to advance.\r\n\r\nIn two players mode, the players climb (or descend, depending frame of reference)  to opposite \r\nextremes, and the terrain is affected in the direction of the gravity from the player that made the \r\nexplosion, so the debris helps the shooter to climb, and detriments the other.\r\n\r\nYou can also use the guns to shoot down while you are in the air to help you to jump higher (The strong bomb gives you an stronger boost, and its important for reaching high places without a lot of effort)\r\n\r\nWhen a player gets under too much debris it dies, so you have to be careful where you shoot!\r\n\r\nThe first player is controlled with the arrow keys (or WASD) and the mouse, with the left click to launch the normal\r\nbombs, and the right button to launch the strong bombs.\r\n\r\nThe second players is controlled with a joystick, using the first two axes to move it, and what your\r\ndriver says that are the first and second buttons, to fire the normal and strong bombs respectively.\r\n\r\nUpdate: Fixed a bug that messed with the physics after a couple of seconds if you played with WASD.\r\n\r\n<\/p>","title":"Verticalland"}
