I didn't rate this, and only wanted to mention you might have difficulty finding 4 players at a time to try it out.

I tried it with 2 players, so we just avoided the other two player sprites, ad it was really fun. Hunching over the same keyboard was entertaining in and of itself. Love the production values on this as well. Maybe just add a number of players option

Nice game, would be nice for a single player mode, although I know AI is difficult to do

Such a shame our team split last night after the launch, we would have had a nice coffee break on this. I'll rate it tho, and rate it good, cause I'm confident this would have been very fun and anyway, it's obviously well realized.

Game looks nice, but need 4 players is so risky. We're 4 in the studio but... so risky gamble

Awesome !!! I like it !! Graphics are good and sounds too. Just one thing to say it's sad that there was no single player. But it is really good game.

Király volt srácok, csak kicsit unalmas. Nem teljesen volt tiszta, hogy mit kell csinálni, meg néha kicsit bugos volt az irányítás. A grafika menő, csá

I have played it with my niece and she loves the game :-) Good graphics and cool retro music. The gameplay is good, adding bots to play with them would be a great addition. Good job :-)

Nice little game, I don't have anyone to play with so a singleplayer mode would've been nice. *sigh* I need to make friends.

I love the art style and the music too.
Nice job!

I downloaded it and looks very polished! I bet is a pretty fun game, but is hard to find other 3 players at the moment :(

Whoa! Good work! Nice mechanics, maybe it would be good if you could choose the number of players! I liked it.

Wow you guys this is just so unfair xD Great game, unfortunately i didnt have anyone to play it with, but i can just tell it would be a lot of fun, although cant the monster just camp out near the coin? Great job you guys!

I didn't get 4 players to play, but with 3 it was fun enough! Innovative, fun and cute. As others are saying its a risky choice, but it made the game very different from the others! Great job guys!

Very cute, and we all love it. As mentioned, will be nice for a single player mode.

I tested it alone. I can forsee how fun this game could be with the complete four player. I hope I'll be able to test it with four players quite soon.

Neat game, loved that it supported 4 players. Graphics were also cute :D

Lovely visuals and concept. Would have been nice to have a single player mode. I played 2 player but it would have been really fun if the other monsters were playing.

I like the simple but classic interpretation of the theme, the monster is "it". Super nice graphics too! I found it hard to see the benefit of dashing, maybe make the speed boost higher but with a longer cooldown?

I did not feel like rating it as I could not find 4 players. But it feels good.
