Now this is what game jams are all about! Love the original mechanics & atmosphere, and I had a lot of fun playing it. I'd say you totally achieved your goal, great job dude!

[@splatsavvy]

Where have you been

[@Hyve]

The fact that you baked lights and got it to work well within a 48-hour game jam is a feat that I don't think any game devs could dare compete with...

[@barj]

What can I say? I'm a lights man

[@Hyve]

@@barj I heard "and I baked lighting" and im like no way he did that...

“Then we just assign each interactable it’s own button and tell it to subscribe” Maybe I am a button

[@redtaileddolphin1875]

God so refreshing to see objet oriented programming used so effectively. Amazing use of the interactables and buttons. Stuff like this is what really inspires me as I start learning unity and game design

[@barj]

Why thank you kind person

[@nuclearbomb9483]

Reject interactables, return to monobehaviour

[@Nylspider]

Honestly this is the sort of game jam game where you could take the concept, polish it a bit, turn it into a full length game, and sell it The game jam version is super cool already, I would pay for a full length version!

[@jannikbock6756]

This Game looks fantastic. The decision to teleport instead of switching controller seems interesting to say the least :D

[@adminanonymous1521]

My favorite part of the video is where you took the criticisms, validated them, explained why they are valid, and how you would either keep it the way it is, or design it a little differently. This was a wonderful look into development and the feedback loop devs can use to improve their design based on feedback.

[@barj]

This comment was a much needed breath of fresh air. Thanks Deven. :)

[@pandemicaunt6341]

You said so many times that "logic is subscribed to event" that I subscribed without knowing it.

[@monito8823]

The og way to play co-op by yourself is playing fireboy and watergirl by yourself as a kid.

If only there were more of Barji, then more people would take the fact that some people don't have anyone to play with into account when creating co-op games.

[@vakqdev]

i would really like a full game version of this

[@Skeffles]

This looks great! I love the inspiration you took from portal, it really suits the theme well.

[@phantomprogramming]

A really well-put-together video! The editing is great and your vocal quality is amazing as well! Keep it up!

[@nextProgram]

Nice job dude, the video was really good and the game looks great

Alternate title: Remaking Portal 2 Coop in under 48 hours Not trying to be rude, love the vids

[@unofedeo]

Sick game! And your editing is amazing I’m jealous lol

[@TylerGreen]

This looks really cool! Reminds me visually of Portal with bow and arrow lol

[@tauheedgamedev2388]

The perfect co-op games for gamers without friends (What do you mean, I have friends, You just cant see them)

[@tudypie]

Wow this is really good for 48 hours :) Good job amazing game :)

[@Tantandev]

5:54 tell them all to subscribe... To Barji!

I can beat we all entered panic mode when you asserted dominance

[@FunNooberCodingForBeginners]

Very cool concept! Interesting idea! Amazing art style! It is good to know that I am not the only person using Brave.

[@CharcoolDev]

Thanks Barji, very cool!

[@lonelyPorterCH]

looks pretty cool, I like the simple artstyle^^

[@barj]

Thank you :)

[@Handidev]

Wow...This is actually enjoyable :)

[@lemoneCH]

Found a interesting bug, couldn't abuse it to speedrun the fourth level yet: Jump with one dude in the other dude and you can "fly" accross the "lava"

[@nebrocmoss6076]

I love the idea and actually want to see a full game of it,

[@phoenixnight9237]

Thank you! So much. This is the most wonderful moment of my life. That and the time I slept a whole day. I always wanted to know the task manager everyone uses.

Its called trello I think? ??

When you are playing a Co-Op game but the other player leaves: the game

[@theluckyduck6487]

2k in 1 day gongrats

[@SamiTheAnxiousBean]

and all of the interactables which contain some logic which is subscribed to that button so for example take you as the interactable and use your logic to click the subscribe button on Barji's channel! (that aside, great concept!)

[@neonrelmsproductions4224]

It looks great. Wish I played it when it was new but I'll play it now.

Every game that is inspired by Portal looks amazing for some reason

would be cool to make this a full game, maybe without the moving wall since that's kinda stressful.

[@GamesBySaul]

A really cool idea for a game, like honestly I love what you did with the theme, and the game just looks quite juicy, you nailed the portal style co-op/design imo. (But seriously, can I have my girlfriend back, I haven't seen her since you took her, please)

I see you also play back in reverse erasing the code to make it look like you're writing it on the spot haha Also there seems to be a bug where when you switch players, the previous one keeps moving forwards (even when you fully stop before switching) I like the Portal vibe though! :)

[@barj]

Fixed in latest update :) Thanks for the kind words

[@VictorGordan]

@@barj I'm looking forward to see what you'll do with my tutorials ;)

[@barj]

@@VictorGordan oh damn it’s you lmao! Yeah I’ve been watching a ton of your stuff recently there’s definitely something in the works

[@VictorGordan]

@@barj Good to know my tutorials are helpful! :) Btw the bug seems to still be present as you can see in my speedrun: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eH3MnWSbbZaMjq8 Another bug (which sadly I was not able to exploit) is that if you switch right before picking up a bow, the other player will have that bow! This could be really useful in the second level by jumping on the isle with the bow and switching, but sadly if I try that red gets pushed forward due to the first bug I mentioned :/ Also the audio settings seems to be broken... Had a lot of fun procrastinating my Physics Lab Report on this for a bit haha

[@barj]

@@VictorGordanI utterly failed with my patch lol, I put it together in 10 minutes. I’ll push one tomorrow with your bugs fixed :) thanks for playing lol

kinda giving karlson vibes from the thumbnail. Thats a good thing btw

Game sounds and looks good I like hard games. That's the games I grew up with hard-ass games

[@RegularBiscuit]

This is so cool, reminds me of unraveled!

[@litezout5682]

It’s the glitch game! :D

[@ITpanda]

We need more soul crushingly hard games. My thoughts, not hard enough! Can we make the wall speed scale with how quickly you finish the previous level, maybe based off of how much time you had remaining before the wall reached the end of the previous map.

[@maratburnaev7089]

Thanks to you I now know what L key does in KZbin player

[@loganjamesonhatch5050]

When he lists a few game dev teams and lists Dani

[@ZiederZiet]

Haha this is like Rewind + Karlson but instead of rewinding two players.

[@LumiOfFrost]

At first I thought that it would be a co-op game...without a second player, and you could use a bow to activate things that a second player would normally activate

[@SparkeyAvalon]

I saw DoTween. So it's really that good.

[@end3751]

Nice

[@carogaphog259]

crazy impressive that he said subscribe that many times and never told us to

[@iWhacko]

Check the old abandonware games: The Lost Vikings 1 & 2, it is all about player switching and helping the other. Later Zelda Four Swords did a similar thing.
