Kicktus by Alfred Salvador

[raw]
made by Alfred Salvador for LD 41 (JAM)

Kicktus is a frenzied rythm game in which some resolute and decrepit elderlies compete in a waltz. BE CAREFUL THOUGH! If you bump other dancers you can cause a KICKTUS, turning a placid partner dance in a deadly brawler!

WARNING: Requires XBox Controllers to work!

Is that a two player only game? I tried playing alone but I got stuck on the "Battle" since i can't seem to be able to hit the other player, just push him around a little.

it's meant to be a 2 player game yes, first phase it's a coop, second one is a versus.

I guess we did have some bug on the lattest tho. :/ sorry for that

I liked the theme very much but even with two controllers, I could achieve any results of my input.

I like it, although the necessity of having second player next to you might be too hard for some people. The art style is cute and the idea is neat!

Congratulations on making the game.

Really beautiful art, cool music, but I think the game does not work ? Or did I miss something ?

Anyway, the game seems to be cool, but the moves are quite weird. There is also an other problem : nothing is explained. Take care of that for the next time.

Keep coding :)

The controls feel kind of wonky. Maybe it’s just me, but I think a keyboard would work better.

... we overestimated our abilities and we took it easy. We had FUN but we did not finish the game :-D

The idea is cool but I can't play it alone hahaha, also the battle is all blurry also.

I think it's not wise that this game is playable with XBOX controller only, because propably the majority of the players don't have it. Otherwise it's a very nice game :)

This is amazing and I actually broke out a Windows computer just to play it. Great work!

Some feedback to what is actually going on would be great. I mean for example that If I press a button, it gives me feedback that pressing that button did something. Because after 5m I still dont understand what Im supposed to do, what Input Im pressing is actually doing anything :P
