I agree, more will come soon!

Man, I wish there was I single player version with an enemy AI. Alas, I have no friends.

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.
