Author Comments

This is not an indipendant game... it should be played when multi-player is selected on box ball but if you want you can play it when ever :P


P.S PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE U POST A REVIEW, TO MANY PEOPLE TELLING ME IT NEED INSTRUCTIONS OR IT WOULD BE NICE AS A ONE PLAYER GAME... IT IS AN ADDON TO THE FIRST BOX BALL AS IT WAS TO BIG TO POST WITH IT!

I doubt it'll be played multiplayer much at all.

my experience
------------------

Opened, worked out only some controls, died (though no message showed up - the game just paused a few seconds later). Read your comments, played 1st game, played and reviewed, returned to this. Played controlling both at same time. Found they have different jump-dynamics. Best way to get through was to line them up then press both keys at the same time. It's actually kind of interesting in a way.

I died maybe 12 times, got about 15s into the level on my best go (as far as the mirrored 'L' .

aspects
-------------

-----: terrible hitbox on the 'replay' button'.
---: the first time I played, death wasn't properly recognised.
--: no instructions. I know you say it's part of the other game, but given that it'sa seperate submission, it should have instructions. Anwyay, the other game doesn't have full instructions for this. I mean that it should technically instruct us that the winner is the one to stay alive the longest. And what happens if we both stay alive?
-: Most folk tend to browse NG alone. And if you're browsing with a pal, you watch movies. I'm just saying that multiplayer stuff isn't gonna be played multiplayer unless it's amazingly good.
---: The single-player levels were too easy. I think you should have made new multiplayer levels, maybe partially randomly generated (since the RNG affects both the same way, I'll condone randomness here).

-: should keep a count of wins/losses

+++: apart from the one glitch, it worked well.

+++: simple to pick up.

overall
--------
Multiplayer games need to be awesome to be played as intended. But this game does have potential to be awesome. Shorter stages, increasingly speedy, getting stupidly hard at the top... somewhat better control, maybe stretch and squash implemented when bouncing...

I think you should lay off for a while though. I get the impression that your AS isn't yet up to scratch.

But keep at it. Do other things. And you'll continue to learn and improve.

Stay funky,

SO SO

that was a decent game so past by time. maybe if u make more games like these people will play them more

Cool concept, but

needs some graphical attention, has alot of potential but doesnt really execute it

yawn

boring. no instructions on how to play. when I figured out what to do the game said I had won already... wtf

dreamers responds:

thts coz its the 2 player version... try reading the authers comments

Wow....

I have to say the best part of the game was the glitches....

dreamers responds:

there are no glitch's. this is a 2 player game... hence needing 2 people to play, so if player 1 drops off the screen player 2 wins
