I love your game!!! It reminds me of a game I developed in 2017 for a Construct game jam. I built platformer pathfinding mechanics in it.
I think your game has much better style, graphics, feel and overall great execution. If you can bring in platformer pahfinding to your game, you can maybe launch a 1P version of the game as well.

Had fun with my kid playing it! Really cool!
Of course I let you guess which color he was. He would not let me pick the end bonus first while I was loosing. x)
Super fun! I really like how you can nerf the other player
Seems like a really fun game! Extremely polished and great to play, only downside is I can't find someone to play with rn :)
also one other issue is that using up/down will also scroll the website, so it kinda makes it harder to play properly.
Thank you! Yea I noticed that too, it can be solved by going into full-screen mode. Maybe I can think about alternative inputs.
Idk if it was just my computer but the full screen button didn't do anything
NICE WORK :)
