Marshmallow Duel clone, a simple-looking 2D multiplayer action game.

It is made with Palib.

User guide

Push opponent into the water, so that come out as the obvious victor. It's a deathmatch, this game.

To kill opponent, choose to attack him on his other end of the screen, or use any of the 18 weapons that are randomly generated from above.

The game itself can be viewed via the top screen, while the bottom part of the DS displays the scores.

Player 1

Up - jump

Left/Right - go left, right

Down - duck

Known issues

Boots sometimes display incorrectly.

Minor and infrequent animation glitches.

Boomerang can be thrown twice on rare occaisons.

'Die while dancing' setting stops victory dances from playing.

Just a heads up, the game may crash for you, especially in an emulator. It hasn't crashed in the week I've been playing it before releasing, but who knows.
