Two devs. One game jam. Zero chance of success.


Forget polishing your own project! Your only goal is to sabotage your opponent's work by any means necessary. Keyboard slamming? Dirty tricks? Relentless sabotage? Absolutely! And when the dust settles, who knows if anyone will actually finish their game?

This ain't just a game jam - it's all-out war! Double-cross your rival, hatch sneaky plots, and pull off every cheap trick in the book. Fair play? Forget it! Why would you work yourself into the ground when you can just bury your opponent instead? Just remember: this can't work!


How to Play

Player 1: Move with WASD, interact with Left Ctrl

Player 2: Move with Arrow Keys, interact with Right Ctrl

I've made builds for linux and mac as well, but I'm not able to test them right now. If the native linux version doesn't work for you, there is an option to run the Windows version of the game using Wine. Whether the game works on mac will remain a mystery, at least until someone writes it in the hate comments. - Love, Lukáš <3
