(Sorry:[
So simple but so nice! :D
Game is pretty fun, but the computer AI is only ok. Maybe add different difficulty settings.
I agree, more will come soon!
Man, I wish there was I single player version with an enemy AI. Alas, I have no friends.
Its something that I've definitely wanted to work on
I'll keep my eyes peeled for updates!
Hey. Not bad. I just ask that you add the ability to change the controls. Whether you plan to or not, I don't know, but it would make the game better. You could also take the opportunity to allow more players. Adding different weapons and such wouldn't be a bad idea either. I'll check back if you update it.
Sadly pico-8’s controlls aren’t configurable, the best way to play is with gamepads, which allows 4 players to play. Unfortunately, most people don’t have that many lying around. Different weapons is a good idea, I was thinking about adding powerups that drop from the celing...
Shame. The power-ups sound good though. If your going to have weapons and such dropping from the roof, you may as well add in hazards. For example, a lava pit.
