MLG: Major Life Guarding


Hey Folks!

So I ran a gamejam about a week or so ago (Jamuary) and this was one of the games that I produced over the two days!

Another lifeguard saving little Jimmy? Not on your watch.

Race through the waves to save the life of poor Jimmy - even if that means dragging him from safety back over to your beach.

Created in 8 hours for #Jamuary.

Controls

Player 1: A & D

Player 2: Left and Right

Hammer them in the right order to get to Jimmy first and drag him to safety!

Hope you enjoy and would love to hear your feedback on the project!
