The Worst Drummers by Grizwhirl

[raw]
made by Grizwhirl for Ludum Dare 51 (JAM)

You weren't supposed to play, you have no idea how to play, there are way too many drums here and why are they making you play faster?

How To Play: Hit the beats before they expire. Pace increases every 10 second, so try to keep pace.

Controls: Every player gets two random controls because these fellows have never touched a drum before.

*having issues with embedded version, itch.io works

hahaha super cool game!
The character 10 out of 10, very fun to watch it trying. How did you make it? Was it a ragdoll? a soft body?
I was surprised by the multiplayer mode, great technical skills.
There is a little bug, when you finish a game and try to start over the game is stuck in the game over screen, you need to refresh the page.
Overall nice game, congratulations!
Also, thanks for commenting our game!

Nice idea! I really like the jiggling character. Would be nice if the key display has an indicator of which come first. Sometimes it's all over screen and pretty difficult to remember. Anyway, a really fun game to play!

Characters are nice and spliscreen co-op is always amazing. Would be great if the sound escalated someway if you do good or deescalate if you do badly.

Loved the animations! Think having a consistent color for each key would make a bit easier to play. Just a thought.

yeees noodle thingy! I liked the concept and vibes, as well as the option for multiplayer. (Also your description xD) When playing, I'd have appreciated changes in the music: as you drum faster, the tracks get more intricate or powerful, etc.

Ahah, that was fun. I didn't quite understand what I was doing. This is my favorite genre - press all the buttons and something will come out. I kept around 90 percent failure.

This was fun.
I like your take on the theme.
The html version keep crashing every time I try to start a new game.
Appart from this, I really enjoyed playing your game, good job

oh my gosh, what a funny game!! i loved it! and i love that it's multiplayer. i think this is the first multiplayer game i've come across in this jam!

i think something that would've really brought the audio to the next level is matching the drum sounds to the actual instrument. for example, i saw trash cans and congas, so it would've been great to hear those kinds of sounds whenever the player moved to those kinds of kits and played them.

the wobbly figures were super funny; i loved them!!

i think if you picked another font for the main menu and played around with colors a little more, it could spruce up the main menu a bit!

other than that, super funny game and i love the idea you brought to life!!
