This is our first game for Pico-8! It was done by 3 good friends ( @Davigo, @MNXANL, and Rucadi) and me for the Global Game Jam of 2018. I had looked at a few tweetcart codes, but we mostly went in blind. We're quite happy with the result!

It's a 2v2 4-player combat game (do controllers work with the web version?) where you and another person control a mage and gotta kill the other 2, but your spells are "transmitted" to your partner, so while you move your own character, you attack and shield from your partner's, and vice versa.

I don't have anyone here to play with me right now (#foreveralone), but it seems like a cool concept (esp. the latency induced by distance) and I really like the artwork. Also looks like the kind of game that prompts friendship-ending arguments. ;)

One note, just a minor thing: Something about the sideshadow you're doing on the instructions page makes me feel like my glasses are smudged. :( Just for kicks, I tried stamping the shadow down twice more, once down and to the left and once below. Way less of the effect I was getting. It looks like this:

But maybe it was just me. My eyes are admittedly crap.
