This is a two player duelling game.
Hide yourself in the light or the shadows, and cut your opponent in half when the moment comes !
This game is mostly inspired by a scene from the Samurai Jack serie.
Created in about 40 hours using Game Maker, Illustrator and Fruity Loops.

Everything looks so wonderful! If you worked a bit more on your coding you'd have a fantastic game on your hands.
Love the graphics, tho it was hard to know where you were alot of the times.
Whoa!!! Really well done.
Everything is really polished and the concept is really cool.
Very cool idea, however i think it needs more polishing. However a very cool game!
Very nice just as the samurai jack cartoon :) although it took a while to get used to playing with white samurai.
Cool game :D. Too bad couldnt play with a friend. Graphics and idea are really nice.
The characters are really well-done! And the music fits perfectly with the mood of this duelling game.
Too bad I don't have a 2nd player.
I thought the game was lagging when I heard the music for the first time. xD
Nice overall experience, had some issues here and there with players getting 'stuck' when jumping vertically up into walls, but that's about it.
Good job! ~
First, thank you all.
I spent a lot of the last hours polishing the LD ( in fact, I was tweaking the shadow/light to make it unstable ) and
the other great amount of work was polishing the dashing wich i'm pretty proud of.
If by "Polyshing" you guys meant the stuck character when dashing, I tried my best to avoid it with no sucess, and it probably needs a way to parry or some other interaction.
I suppose I will restart this game from ashes ( maybe with a friend ) because I have a lot of ideas to make it even more fun to play :D
This is incredible! Amazing aesthetic, and overall brilliant feel.
This is very cool. I love the idea, the music, the graphics. Awesome stuff!
Loved this concept! It's like a true battle with both sides of the brain trying to coordinate it. Incredibly polished given the time frame. Good job!
I could unfortunately not play this with anyone else, but I love the hiding and the flashes (only problem is that I don't know where my own guy is). Really cool! You should keep working on this!
Well the flash is mainly used as an anti camp and a way to spot yourself.
The dash is in the inverted color for the same reason
I really liked the art in your game. Unfortunately, I have no one to test this with ... so I can't really judge the pleasure of the game play. But good work for what I can see!
I first thought the inverted areas where the player isn't visible would make it hard but I could move well. A variety of levels or maybe random platforms would have been nice.
the controls are a little stiff, but overall pretty good, great look
Excellent soundtrack and graphic style! That game has a real personality. Great job!
Love that graphic, contrasty style. And the robots with swords. ;)
the visuals are perfect, too bad i couldn't try it with another player.
Whoa, yeah, instantly thought of the scene from Samurai Jack when I saw this :) Really excited to play this, will try it out with my brother later.
Great and simple! Love the hide in shadows or light bit. FUN
I loved your previous LD entries and love this one as well - well done :)
I've played this with my girlfriend and this might be the best fun we had playing on the same pc for a long time
very well done :)
Could you rename the "Download" link to say "Windows" or similar? This would let people on other platforms (e.g. Linux, OS X) know that they don't need to bother downloading.
Damn it, *I* was going to make this game :P Ah well, I guess now I don't have to. Nice one: the sound and music are both great, as is the art-style, and stealth on a single screen was a very ambitious design challenge to take on.
There are a few readability issues, though this comes in part from the fact that showing information to one player hides it from another. I'd like more feedback on kills and deaths though: check out Samurai Gun to see what I mean. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IJZ3TSjuaE
Yeah, i was using samruai gunn a lot for inspiration, and i'm actually working on feedbacks for the post compo release.
I have nobody to play with but the game seems interesting. The slash attack couldown seems a bit fast maybe a slower cooldown + only one life would force the players to use the shadow mechanic more often instead of running and slashing in every directions.
The old version was 1 life only, but it breaked the rythm of the game too often, players usually wanna fight each other and hide only when necessary.
I'm actually trying to make the pacing slower to let the player think before attacking.

PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Man, I love your game ! It's really fun to play. However, it's not well balanced. Black player has bigger area or at least, better paths. But still a great game !
