Great job making this game! The theme is such a strong part here. Visuals and audio, plus the little counter at the start (which was REALLY well made) work together great. The thumbnail looks it is for a finished game, which is rare - I think choosing the black-and-white old-timey aesthetic was a really smart move. It allowed you to get assets look polished in that short span of time.
I played on my own, but I see this being a very fun battle with a friend. Must say the bar at the top confused me a little, on what direction I want it to go as each player. Otherwise mechanics were very clear - trashtalk mechanic is a funny way to put salt in the wounds of the other player - would be nice to have a similar thing for the other player, to not make it too one-sided and frustrating - for example if you manage to dodge 3 things your next pitchfork is bigger (or its 3 pitchforks shot in parallel) and you yell a little trashtalk back while throwing.
Having a complete menu is nice, although my tip would be to cut it from future gamejams - while it is an important part for a complete game, for a gamejam it just takes too much of the time you could invest in other things.
Overall theme on point - gameplay is there just missing a little balance - definitely something to be proud to have made in such a short time.
Hahaha dude this game is so cool and i spammed enter aswell, i really like the theme it just feels really put together like a big painting
Really enjoyed this one. Everything came together nicely and i love the hand drawn sketchy asthetic with that old timely video effect. Multiplayer is always fun, but alas - i am a lone hermit so just had to play with myself.
Connected my friend to my pc with parsec I had to download and set up, was worth the struggle. What a sick game, love the vibe and its fun to play. Wowzers.
Update: The Trashtalk Counter that is mentioned in the games controls somehow does not work. This makes us obviously very sad, since we did not notice in time. But please feel free to spam the enter key anyways, to honor our amazing voice actor.
