Interesting take on the theme, making proximity matter!

I thought the concept was pretty fun, great work! I did have some clipping issues the first time I played since my buddy fell through the floor D: the second playthrough was much better though!

Love the take on the theme.

An interesting concept with the idea of protecting a buddy that wants to be far away from you apparently. I think I ended up jumping my buddy into space though, and never found him again.

Two Close

Top down shooter 

Stay close to your NPC partner as you shoot your way through the level

Your NPC partner will move as you move and is slightly faster but is not armed

Both of you need to stay alive

If you do not stay close enough your shot rate all but disappears

Stop your partner at any time (Right Mouse) to help you get closer

Of course stopping your partner from moving is risky

Destroy enemies quickly and bounce wall shots to score big points

High Score leader board included

CONTROLS: (Gamepad Compatible)

SHOOT: Left Click (Left Trigger XBOX One)

STOP NPC: Hold Down Right Click (B Button)

JUMP NPC: Space Bar (A Button)

ISSUES

Random Crashes

Streak and Combo scoreboard always shows 0

Random unresponsive shooting

Uploaded incorrect build (Development build)

Restart option from Pause Menu not working (Must use Exit To Menu)

Solo developer with limited time :-)

I like the way the bullets ricochet around, very satisfying! I did find it a little weird that the bullets moved super slow and i had a super slow fire rate.

With some tweaking this could be an awesome top down shooter

Thanks for playing. I was unable to give proper visual feedback but this means you are too far from your partner. Get closer by stopping NPC  partner movement with Right Click or adjusting movement to get closer.  Maybe make him run into walls :) Plus your partner moves a little faster.
