Solid gameplay. I liked having multiple types of ammo to play with. Great graphics, too, with fitting sounds. Not much to say beyond that.
Doesn't fit any of the themes, though.

Seems like a fun game, but I don't have anyone to play with :(

Pretty cool! I like the concept. It'd be nice to have the option to play the computer (maybe an idea for a later version)

@Dooskington Thats odd. It loads fine for me in Google Chrome.

Interesting idea and good execution with the multiplayer. The controls feel a little clunky and it would have been nice to have singleplayer, but one can only do so much in 48 hours.

This seems like a fun concept I really wish I could play it 2 player with someone :D

Nice art style, reminiscent of Space Wars. The snake/ammo piece is a great concept and fits the growing theme perfectly.

Cute little game. Unique spin on snakes and enjoyed the competitive mode. Just wish I had someone here to battle with ahah

Nice combination of game types. Doesn't hit either of the themes, though.

Nice simple game, too bad there's no one to play it with. Please consider trying your hand at netcode :P

I quite like this! The combat system is fun, graphics and sfx fit the vibe just right. The variety of weapons is great.

Hi, i really liked this had a fun time competing with my partner at this :)

nice idea, great movement didn't seem laggy or anything on the controls apart from when you collide with your own trail and move into them

overall great game
Well Done!

Nice to see more multiplayer games. Mario kart battle meets space invaders. :-) Could have used some music, but at least there are some sound effects. The game play is quite fun. Well done!

It would have been much more fun to play if I wasn't playing against myself. But looks very promising if you add an AI opponent

I like this. It reminds me of the type of graphics that you'd find on early 80's computers like the Apple ][.

Nice game. It could be worth to write a little AI for the second player.

Really nice snake game. Love the way you took it! I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/EnuG74cyOfk
