i love everything about this! it's like indie pogo with swag
Really fun game, love the aesthetic. I found what I think might be a bug where if you do Hip's special very soon after a short jump it sends the character straight up. Love the game, can't wait to see more of it.
Really fun, good aesthetic, overall a very tied together game.
Very neat! Quite unique, and it’s very enjoyable to play. The characters are simple but feel unique, I especially like Hip as his dash makes me feel smart when I use it to feint and reposition.
Looks good, banger music, VERY fun!! No notes, though a bit too easy in my opinion. Maybe if I had a friend with to play that could fix that issue though. But anyways good job to everyone involved!!!
Yo I had the same Idea once, anyway, the game is fire and the aesthetic from this game is my favourite !!
God I need online for this. I gotta stomp my friend molly's face into the dirt
Agreed
You can do that with Parsec in the meantime
nice game!
Where can I buy this soundtrack this rule
Hell Yeah!
this is really cute, Hip is my favorite
Came to check out the 'competition' for the game jam and this is very cool, love that there are multiple stages with actual differences. Hip's special is fun to use.
