I've played it mostly (55ish% of the time) three player, and it works ok. Though I find that a teammate is actually more of a liability than an asset. Two players eating up block shares. Two players eating up lives when the tower is bombed or shot to nothing. You think one player could jump over to the other tower and try to knock the other guy off while the other teammate offers fire support, but no. Team killing is just as likely as good teamwork.
Still great fun, though.

What an awesome game! I will definetely grab some friends to play this :D The style of the game is just perfect and the player charaters are plain awesome. The only flaw I found was that the menu constantly flickered...

That, my friend, was not a bug, it is a feature! So, v1.0 has been really delayed, but I'll get it done in the coming week I hope to get this over with. I'll also look into releasing a Mac version.

So, finally, v1.0! Nothing much changed, but some bullshit code removed and some other things fixed so that the game will propably run a little faster. It turned out about 30% of my code was old code that I used to debug and stuff, that was now sitting around as comments in the real code I deleted it all. Download: http://willhostforfood.com/?Action=download&fileid=92297(Of course I have also changed link on front page) Also I have tried to compile a mac version. It works but... None of my trusty extras can run on mac, so there are a few things about it that kind of suck. I can't support joysticks or read or write to the textfiles or anything like that. And also also, I had a friend over and made a little video, you should check it out!

Damnit, this game is Fricking Awesome! =D I played it for hours with my friend! =D
The only problem we had was that when you try to super jump by throwing a block downwards it wouldn't work when you kept right of left pressed, and because of that you could jump less far and we fell a lot XD Also, the kicking mechanism requires almost spastic reflexes to get the move going (maybe it's easier on controllers, I don't know)
But! We Really Really Really Loved it! =D Great work! ^^

Thanks a lot! A little bad luck though that I got on the same episode as Au Sable :D But winning the poll isn't that important, it has still made many people find and play the game EDIT: It's also on pixel prospector, where it has been marked with the tag "playable" :D Great to know that it doesnt collapse on itself every second minute... I hope...

I hope... well the "playable" tag just means that you can actually download at least a demo. used that tag to let the readers instantly know which games they can already play...cause there are also games on PP that only have some screens or a gameplay video... one click on the playable tag and *woosh* you get those games that you can already download nicely presented in a list.

The link is down and there's a message saying all of WillHostForFood is dead. Could you host it somewhere like Skydrive or Divshare? They've been pretty stable for me.

Yeah, WillHostForFood usually goes down a day or two every second month or so, should've thought of that. Here's a MSN upload: http://cid-5762070d2575b6b4.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/Block%20Towers.rar?lc=1053EDIT: Whoa, just read the WHFF page, seems pretty serious this time! Or maybe it's just a smart trick, he will definitly get those 700 dollars he was asking for
