This looks really cool! Local multiplayer games are the best. I plan on coming back to this later and rating it when I have a friend.
Fast! Maybe you could try putting the controls on a joypad stick and have the analogue position blend between the different fake, block and attack pre-poses?
I like it, very stylish!
love the blood spatter, the music, and the style is fantastic.
Awesome game. Made for a lot of laughs at our tournament. Great mechanic, visuals, and music
Awesome! I played this for nearly an hour. The graphics and sound are iconic. Very very nice.
Plays very cleanly, the graphics and audio are great too! Sweet game!
I loved it! Excellent use of sound btw, very creative! Well done. Very complete experience for what it is
Really nice and original! Love this, will test with my buddies. :)
Thanks to everyone who is going out of their way to play Smooth Operator with others! I know from my personal experience playing others games I tend to do it at night and so I don't generally have someone else to play a 2 person game with. I greatly appreciate it.
Very fun; my brother just keeps beating me. I will be bringing this game up again and again in the future until I actually beat him.
Agreed, "player x is better at videogames" is much more rewarding than anything else I've seen before :P
This was a great game to play. It's complete for me, can be played for hours honestly. Big fan!
YEESSSS! Congrats for this one. Veeeeery smooth gameplay, loving it. Network play would be awesome. Only thing is: I really don't like time constraints -.-
Apart from that its brilliant game with an awesome style!
Thanks dudsen! I would love to make it online multiplayer! Never done any network code though...
Haha, pretty funny, too bas I beat the living crap out of my opponent and he wouldn't play anymore!
Love the music, and cool style with the red backgrounds / silhouettes.
Nice fast and funny game, really addictive if you are playing with another person!
Very nice graphics and audio, really fun to play with another player. Great job!
Brutal animations and a fantastic art style and colour pallet... the music suits the game very well - well done! Rated highly. :)
Simple but fun. I love seeing more multiplayer games. I had a great time playing with some friends.
Excellent! Loved the idea, the gfx, the music. Everything. Unfortunately I couldn't find a friend to play. Its a very good twist to paper, rock, scissors mechanics. This could be a best seller in iOS. Contrats.
Hey, I would like to ask you… Would you mind if i will publish game of your concept on Android platform (Graphics , Sounds, and everything will be different). I know that its wierd but i dont want to be a stealing b*tch. Please send your answer on this E-mail: “palcatokurka@seznam.cz”

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to place in the final results, you NEED votes. The easiest way to get votes is by rating other games. Judging lasts for 3 weeks following the end of Ludum Dare. For best effect, rate 20 games as soon as possible. Rating more games is encouraged.
MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
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.
Dont have another person to play with but this is an EXCELLENT game. Great use of theme well done
