If you found any bug in the game comment here and mention the development team ( @outish @crazyrems @techsec )
you need to tell us in which version does it happen (web, windows, both), and you need to give us the steps to reproduce the bug.

I don't know if I just messed up, but I couldn't get the players to shoot. Maybe make the instruction sheet a little bigger, I could hardly read it.

One more tip: dont use Y or Z for controls since there's QWERTZ and QWERTY keyboards so one of them is gonna suffer.

Also, ain't no body got friends at home to play this with :stuck_out_tongue:.

sorry for that, to shoot you need to hold the shoot button and press in the direction you want to shoot in.
hope that was clear @max6333 I am, having no problem reading it in fullscreen

There is one bug. I can't return from the How to play menu without freezing the gam on html. But i love the funky music and it reminds me on bomberman. Also the gamplay is cooland te menu has a lot of options. Love it!

@swini for some reason I absolutely love this comment because Bomberman was a big inspiration for the game and it makes me and I think everyone on the team happy that someone picked up on that! It's reverse Bomberman!

@swini I am not sure if I got your problem because I never faced a similar issue

The game looks so cute and really enjoyable, but I can't play it with anybody right now :(
I managed to shoot after a while but I think that my keyboard layout doesn't allow me to shoot with the player 1.

Good game, anyway, it looks so great!

@dragojt sorry for that we have organized the controls for the QWERTY layout and for the short time we weren't able to put other layout in mind, but what's your firing problem with P1, you can fire with P1 by holding the semi column button and pressing in the direction you want to fire on.

A great game. My little sister managed to glitch her candle and she destroyed me because she could shot me but i couldn't but fun game overall.

@shapkofil could you give me the steps on how she managed to glitch the game out, because that would help us a lot in fixing this glitch

Neat local co-op game. :)
It's an interesting mechanic to let the player lose a life but block a path without having to be fired at.

The controls are a little weird for me, I just don't like the "move tile by tile" movement in games. Though everything else is fine imo.
