Story:
You and your pirate partner have been marooned on opposite sides of a river on a cursed island. Both of you need to get to the boat on the far right side of the island to escape.
As you progress, more and more skeletons rise out of the river to stop you. Taunt the skeletons to attack you instead of your ally so they can focus on solving puzzles to get to the end. Remember, what is LESS for one player is MORE for the other.
On the island you'll find a hammer that can be used to break rocks, stun skeletons, and open chests. You can pass the hammer from one player to another by throwing it across the river.
There are also 6 hidden chests on the island. Open all 6 and escape on the boat for the true ending.
About:
This game was made in 7 days for the BlackthornProd Game Jam 3.
The theme was "Less is More". For this game, what is less for one player is more for the other. You can help your ally by taunting more monsters to attack you instead of them, and there is only one hammer that needs to be shared between the two players.
Programming and sound was done by Vykri and most art was done by Bloodinia.
If you're having any issues with the game connecting, try using Chrome. The multiplayer is built on WebRTC which is not supported by all browsers.

Note: This game was made with PeerJs, not the techniques described in the above video, but I will be posting a tutorial on how to use PeerJS on that channel in the near future.

Hi I don't really know how this comment thing works but I was trying to start this game to play with a friend and it just says "peerID must be 16 characters" and I have no idea what that means so how do I start the game?
Thanks for letting me know! Looks like there was a change to a library I was using. I've removed the validation on the peerId, so you should be able to play now. Apparently this game has been unplayable since 3/19/21 haha.
Oh thank you so much! Really looking forward to checking out this game later with my friend:)
Don't get your hopes up too much, I made the game in a week for a game jam haha. Regardless, hope you enjoy it and thanks again for letting me know it was broken.
