When the characters are fused, they can shoot and are stronger together. Also, two players are stronger together than one :)

Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, except for some environmental assets and sounds, and code ...learned from Brackeys tutorials

very nice graphics and audio, is it the game play to use block to stop the enemies? I'm not quite sure yet.

Sorry, I found the trick that two players can gather together to attack. Nice idea and really good polished work!

Developer(+1)

Thanks. Yea we probably need to add a tutorial in!

Submitted(+1)

Great concept and very well polished. I have nothing against it! Great job!

Submitted(+1)

Amazing game! I wish there were some more abilities that got revealed over time, but it was really fun! The music and art really made an environment.

Developer

Thanks! We had considered adding more shooting pick-ups and varied enemies, but ultimately didn't have enough time.

Great game! The atmosphere is awesome

Submitted(+1)

Loved the art on this one, the character designs are really cool. Gameplay got a bit repetitive but the atmosphere was there!

Submitted(+1)

This is really polished! A little confusing at first but this is really good. Def one of the better ones I've seen so far.

Submitted(+1)

I love the art style.  I did not  like gameplay as much, but that was most likely just because I played alone.

Developer (1 edit)

Yea we found its way slower gameplay alone with more precise shooting, while together you can be a lot more chaotic and shoot everywhere.

Beautiful game! I tried playing alone and it was too hard.  I did see the tutorial at the bottom of the page before I started playing and that helped. Playing with my partner was easier but still really tough. I think it would help to know how many bullets you have left for each character and I think aiming can get a bit frustrating. It was not always clear which character was firing in which direction, maybe it needs to be more obvious where the bullets are coming from or the characters need more contrast between them.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! All great points we actually found ourselves too while testing but didn't have time to implement.

Great art and audio, but i just didn't find the gameplay  very enjoyable :(

Submitted(+1)

Cool game, love the art but I'm playing alone so it's very hard to control both characters at the same time

(+1)

That's the point

Submitted(+1)

Great game. Only thing I'd change is a tutorial at start on how to shoot. Or maybe a different way to shoot other than the movement buttons. Good job!

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Thanks! Yes we really wanted a tutorial and even had artwork for it but didn't have time to hook it up!

Submitted(+1)

The game looks extremely nice, but unfortunately it was a bit hard an unforgiving to me, I played it alone and with a partner and I wasn't able to master it :( I would add a tutorial and some space to test the controls and mechanics before the action.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Great points

Submitted(+1)

took me a while to figure out how to shoot. Other than that! very atmospheric, managed to reach day 3 before being pooped on :D

Developer

Wow congrats! Lucky you didn't make it to Day 4 ...its torture

Submitted (1 edit) (+1)

very fun and amazing graphics! if you have time you can check out my game!

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Thanks, will do!

Edit: Your game is for Windows and I use a Mac sorry!

Submitted(+1)

This was a really fun challenge, though it wasn't that clear at first how to defend against the bad lads. The graphics were stunning - massive strength there.

Developer

Thanks, yea makes up for the newbie development!

Submitted(+1)

Hi! That's beautiful! Good job! You can rate my game if you want : )

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Thanks, will check it out.

Edit: Ah your game is Windows and I only have a Mac sorry!

Submitted(+1)

This is a beautiful game! We had loads of fun playing and the strategy is so cool to play around with. Well done. 

Developer

Cheers!

Submitted(+1)

Hey, also thanks for not making me download the game, really. Your game is more accessible via your page. Nice! 


Developer

Yup, we always try to make a web playable version if we can! We're on Macs so can never play a lot of the great Windows games

Submitted

Ah, the dearth of games on Mac platform...

So what are the skills of all the team members?

Developer (2 edits)

Yup pretty slim pickings on Mac. We’re 2 artists / designers / animators learning to code.

Submitted

It is sometimes a blessing for artists to become developers

Submitted(+1)

it is a very fun but not to easy game i realy liked it!

Submitted(+1)

yes, Yes, YES!  i absolutely ADORED the concept!

Negative: I wish the color palette to be expanded so that I can visually see which character I am controlling on the screen.

Great music
