Great little local multiplayer game! Sound and graphics are very impactful. Super fun to lob the crown around and see the drones (?) speed around.

This was really cute. Nice artwork, solid gameplay. It took me a few rounds to figure out what I was supposed to do (ohh you can throw the crown, I get it). It would have been cool if you implemented some very basic AI opponents to play against, since most people are probably playing by themselves. This could be as simple as a few if statements that make the opponents fly towards the crown and then towards the player, with some randomness thrown in there to make it interesting.

I really liked the mob mode. The game is really fun and the art is attracting. I can't believe that I had so few votes. It's probably due to the local multiplayer thing. The game is amazing :heart_eyes:

Nice! I like it. There's a lot of polish here for 72 hours. Really great job.

You should start to start giving some more feedback to get this game more attention!

Unfortunately, I cannot play your game with someone else but I can feel the potential. And the graphics and the sound are nice. Next time, you should make a one player html5 game to appeal more testers.

I love the visuals. I have no idea what is the point of the game.

This seems super cool! ...maybe!?!?

The rules and mechanics of the game were quite confusing. Perhaps even a more detailed text explanation would suffice?

It's a really fun game and hard to believe that this entry has been overlooked, the graphics are gorgeous and the gameplay feels very polished. I hope you get the 20 votes you need.

Looks really cool. Unfortunatly there was no one around to play against when I tested it. Graphics and Audio was extremely good! Nice Job!

Amazingly fun game!

Nice art style fits perfectly

Music seems to be a little bit too grim

Great entry! It's always difficult to receive ratings with a multiplayer game so you should think you would have had twice the ratings you have now if it was single player ! :D

As a lot of people I played against myself but it was enough to understand the gameplay and the potential in multiplayer. I really liked the crown throwing mechanic and I love the graphics. I expected softer music from the graphics and the idea but it is still good!

Good job!

The game looks really nice but I don't really understand what you're supposed to do and neither did my friend. Because if you don't take the crown pettry much nothing happens. Well, sometimes the crown move on its own but you only have to avoir it to win. Maybe scoring point while holding the crown would add some incentive to take it.

Haha, that looked great and could be fun, although i had to try to play against myself which was kind of difficult.
So i can't really judge the playability, but it is a very polished looking game you have there.
You should try to iplement some simple 'AI' to create a single player mode as well.
Great idea to 'pass the hot iron' between the players :)

Really liked the game ! I played it with my little sister and she liked it a lot also ! It was a good challenge ! I liked how the crown is thrown automatically to one of the players. Liked the graphics a lot and the music and the sounds. Basically, everything in this game was cool. I managed to make a multiplayer game in my next LD !

I like the concept for the game and the gameplay was fun. But it was very hard as I had no idea what was going on at first. I spent 5 straight minutes on the menu screen alone trying to figure out how to start. Good work on getting a lot of gameplay done, but a tutorial of some sort would definitely improve the experience.
