The global game jam was fun, I got 3 hours of sleep.


Anyway, we decided to go against all the artsy vague "games" and make something retro with shooting
Nine weapons later, metal luv was done.

and this (http://twitpic.com/1a60r)

It features:

-Hardcore retro platform gameplay
-Innovative coop launch n aim mechanics
-SuperWeapons© mode and HeliPack© pickups.
-A dramatic plot twist (it's a love story!)
-Pretty music.
-Awesome pixel art.
-An epic boss fight.

Oh and thanks to paul, roy and music guy. <3


Oh and lonely nerds: it's coop, so get some friends.  :beer:

Best love story ever, and you know it!
Before people start asking: we'll be finetuning and polishing it later :)

Very nice. I wish I had someone to play this with me though. :( The little characters are really cute.
Edit: And just so you know, I DO have friends, but when your driveway's really long and covered by an inch of ice, no one comes to see you.

Wow, how did you manage to get all that pixel art done in 48hours?

Will post my final thoughts on it in a day or so, but for now, it looks great!  :)

I worked on it with a friend, pretty much non-stop. It certainly was a challenge though :)

Thanks for the comments, guys!

wow and that coding D: insane shit man

 :addicted:

Genious! I wish I came up with that  :handshakeL: >:(

I take it that this was inspired by Knuckles Chaotix?

"Not Vista compatible"

 :'(

Just get the converter and all will be well.

I guess the chained-together gameplay is similar to that, but none of us even mentioned the game while making it. A chained-together/rubber band concept is pretty much the first thing you think about when given the subject "When we're together, we're never out of problems", which was pretty evident by the fact that a lot of people did it during the Jam.

I just had a chance to try this out with my little brother, and it's really really great!

Good job man, that's some really well-thought-out co-op!  ;D :handthumbsupR:

And including the source is nothing short of gentlemanly!  :gentleman:

I love you

 :cavestory:

_{just kidding great game :handthumbsupR:}

Even with all that conversion BS, it doesn't work.

yeah, vista no go  :concerned:

Love the style of this. Very cool.
