zapnapjudgeAwesome. Reminds me of Scorched Earth, which I wasted far too many hours playing once upon a time. This has the potential to recreate the best aspects of that and make it even better.
The rough graphics and quirky intro maybe aren’t the best design I’ve ever seen but it fits the aesthetic here, especially when coupled with the over-the-top music (which I wish I could turn off after listening to for awhile, heh).
That said, there are a few pretty big gameplay bugs that I couldn’t seem to get past (maybe just me in Chrome? No one else seems to be reporting them). For example, when I attack the other player after damaging myself first no damage ever seems to get inflicted. And the attacks and movements are jerky in a way that can’t be intentional. I hope you guys fix these issues and continue to work on it though, could be a great casual game even if it isn’t terribly original.
Also a great demonstration of Pusher ;).

judgeIt works, but the experience is quite confusing – starting it up just shows me an image and two buttons for sound on the top left.
I can’t rank it high on innovation as it’s… well, another game. There’s nothing here (that I can see, happy to be proven wrong) that hasn’t been done before (in Node, no less).

therazorbladejudgeWith cooler graphics, this can be a really addictive game. Well done!

contestantSimple fun game to play. Great design look and feel, pithed just at the right level of clunky cool.

contestantGood times :)
Couldn’t mute the music though. And the refresh to play again is a bit of a nuisance.

My office had a blast playing this game. We ran into a few minor bugs, and it’s obviously not the first of its kind, but it’s well done.
