How do I use traps? I don't seem to get it.

I like the graphics and the idea is nice. The audio music could be better =)

Im note to sure i get it either. You can make the scientist jump with z and use x to drop traps that you can then move with the arrow keys? Maybe a some instructions would be helpful. There is an interesting idea here, just dont think its coming across yet.

Interesting idea, it is clearly a coop game but I didn't have someone else to play it with so I always win :P I love the graphics and the sound, it is very nice. If would be more fun if there is a single player mode with AI. The mechanic is simple but seems to be fun (wish I can play with someone else). Anyways, well done!

Very fun game, it would be interesting to add an solo mode, but good anyway ^^

Wahah not bad. Some next level strats are possible to put multiple traps down close together..

My daughter loved playing this game with me.
It is highly confusing(unless you actually read the instructions lol)

Great job!

Nice game! Really liked the graphics!
Could've used a solo-mode though, maybe even just have the computer randomly jump and set traps but not be delayed as much by your traps?

Fast pace, easy controls (120% theme), awesome gfx, you managed sound and music :) Single-player would be cool but this is awesome, epic job and a really nice game!

Didn't have a second player to play with but from what I can judge, the best strategy seems to be spamming the place a trap key during the first part of the game. Good graphics and nice music.

Tested this on my own (which is sort of awkward for games like these) but I liked the idea of one player racing to the bottom whilst preventing the other from reaching the top and vice versa plus I liked the amount of strategy involved when placing traps since you can't go backwards.
