Woot! Congrats on the release.

Congratulations on the release! It took me about 2 hours to finish it.  ;-D
This was fun and had cool ideas in it. I only expected the ending to be something else, but I can live with that.  ;)

Congrats on the release!

Finally got time to play both characters. I had a ton of fun playing the game. Really good voice acting and visuals  :grin:

I just finished. Great experience, overall! I love the retro look, feel and references. Very puzzle-heavy but the puzzles are really well-designed and at a perfect challenge level.  Really, REALLY funny! I actually got a lot of laughs (especially during the barbarian section)

Lots of games have multiple playable characters but not like this one. Play it (if you haven't yet) to find out...

Just started playing it - Just excellent! The humor is great, the puzzles interesting, a lot of fun! The references are also giving me a good laugh. Well done! Can only recommend playing it.

I really loved this game. Great work.

Thank you all for playing the game and the kind words.
It's nice to hear that you enjoyed it.

Very nice game, congratulations. It'll be the next Pick of the month.

I've listed my personal + and - below:

The pros:
- Fair and fun puzzles. I've especially enjoyed my run with the barbarian.
- Very nice animations.
- Good voices.
- Lots of funny moments.

The cons:
- The duel mini-game. There is zero strategy and the last guy is very fast. It could have been more interesting if we shot all the baddies every time, starting with the fastest guy, finishing with the slowest one.
- The copy protection system. It's funny the first time but tedious afterwards.

Spoiler

I've tried several endings in both sides and they seem quite random but that was funny.

Thank you, Creamy, for choosing this game as the Pick of the month - I feel really honoured.
Also, thanks for your nice justification words.

About your con points:
- In fact, there's a trick to get more time to shoot the bad guys, and it's especially helpful for the last guy, who is almost unbeatably fast with his gun.
- Since I already thought that the copy protection is not everyone's cup of tea, there is the possibility to get rid of it if you wait a while without entering anything. (this is also mentioned in the manual and the readme  ;) )

Spoiler

Actually, there is a little logic behind the endings.
