It only takes one button to create and throw rocks. But you can also do the usual platform movement with a jump, double jump, and dash. While the rock throwing also gives you a boost and refills your double jump.

[b] Consider watching my Lets Play of ISLAND BENDER on my YouTube Channel[/b] https://youtu.be/XIuTmymM_jo So to start things off, Island Bender is in Early Access. It's a fast paced multiplayer couch or remote play game. Best played with friend(s)- as both my friend & I had an absolute blast playing against the CPU. But as afermentioned it's in EA & while the gameplay mechanic is solid, there are a ton of quality of life improvements that could greatly put this in my repetoire. Instead of giving my usual reviews- I'm gonna make this into a short wishlist of stuff I would love seeing added to the game, the price & my final thoughts. //Full Disclosure, I have not seen any road map if any of these ideas are implemented, great minds think alike!// ♦More graphics options, for some reason my PC lagged a bit a few times I played Island Bender. ♦Difficulty option for A.I. ♦Ability to choose the color for your character ♦MAP SELECTION- this one is a huge one for me. The randomized maps is nice but as in our gameplay shows, we kept getting the same maps over and over. Column Island needed to be showcased, it's such chaotic fun. ♦the ability to toggle holding a button to go to th…7 found this helpful
Island benders is a fun party game similar to Stick Fight: The game. Excepts this game is SO much more predictable and rooted whereas in Stick Fight, its almost completely up to chance. Good game. I recommend it. Go buy it. Now.4 found this helpful
This is a fantastic game by all rights. It's not a Cyberpunk or a Call of Duty, it's a simply delightful fighting game about ninjas with magic. This game has something that I love to see: a low skill floor and a high skill ceiling. In other words, this game is easy to get into and addicted to, but you can spend a lot of time perfecting some crazy skills. My friends and I have sunk hours into this game without even realizing it. I lost my voice screaming from excitement (and disbelief when I fumbled a rock shot). The music and maps set the vibe perfectly. Cannot recommend highly enough. This game is worth every penny. Yes, especially at full price. Let's show some love to an epic dev! Can't wait to see what you do next! (P.S. I received an early access code to this game as I have with some others. I do not know the dev beyond very limited interaction, and the price did not affect my review. My friends and I have purchased this game elsewhere as we believe the dev deserved the money.)2 found this helpful
Fantastic couch coop action1 found this helpful
awesome!!! having alot of fun, very similar to Stick Fight: The Game, Rounds, Ultimate Chicken Horse, and other couch multiplayer games like that. obv its a demo so its a little buggy but its still a great time. i did find a weird bug however, im not sure how i triggered it, but i think when i unchecked the reverse inverse aim option, all the enemies would only shoot away from me for the whole game. it fixed itself once i started a new round, but it seemed like it was thinking it was in reversed aim but it wasnt? if you get what i mean? idk it was weird if i figure it out ill update also! could probably use some more moves or something to make it a little more dynamic, the power ups are great and i like the wall sliding while knocking a bunch of rocks down, such n such, but i feel like we need like a catch or a block. like have the same circle appear around you but your kinda blocking with your hands, it would either just let the rock you get hit with break past you or you catch it without grabbing the ground under you. im explaining it weird but i want to be able to intercept thrown rocks without pulling rock from the stage. TDLR very yummy plz keep updating 8/10!!! i feel like…1 found this helpful
I.B. is fighting 2D platformer. With some gorgeous backgrounds and music, it's a must for lovers of fighting games. The pace is quick and can sometimes be overbearing, although this might be because I played in single player mode, only. My video is the game running on Steam Deck, and it runs perfectly.
