tough love

a two-player one keyboard game made by Ben Delvin for the GMTK 2021 Game Jam

These two love eachother but sometimes relationships can get competitive...

Each character is constantly being pulled towards the other. They are also incapable of moving too far apart. Use these facts to your advantage while trying to slam or swing your significant other into the spiny walls to the left and right using the gravity between you. The first one to touch the spikes three times loses!

Boyfriend use WASD to move

Girlfriend use arrow keys to move

Note: I know a lot of people are finding themselves stuck in a sort of stalemate in the middle of the screen. If you forego pushing the other person and try to use the gravity between you to swing them into the spikes this won't happen and is probably much more fun. I know that may not be obvious so that's my fault, sorry! I thought I would leave this note here just so everyone who plays from now on can have as much fun as possible. :) Thanks for playing!
