How does your game fit the theme?
A straight-up Bullet-Hell madness with a little twist to the formula. You control two characters stringed by a very thin and fragile link, very simple... one moves and can't shoot the other shoots but can move. DON't GET TO FAR OR IT WILL BREAK! IF EITHER ONE DIES ITS GAME OVER! Give a try and show yourself what you're made of, it's no walk in the park INSTRUCTIONS: WASD to Move - LEFT CLICK to shot - MOUSE to aim - SPACE to Join/Split after a STREAK of 20 - SPACE to restart after dying

Great game and done so quickly! I loved the humor on the intro story and the smoothness that emanates. It felt like somebody actually was telling the story live.

On the other hand, the visual part is outstanding, starting with the color palette perfectly chosen for theme, and the 3D models of the monsters and the stuff around.

Last but, of course, not least, the programming works perfectly. The nexus between both characters and their movement is on point.

Good luck!

Super fun to play! One of the most fun to play upload so far!  The ambient and music was very well placed with the theme and the engagement is top notch. 

Having the ability to play with another person is amazing since it reminds me of playing Mugen back in the days!

Can't wait to see more content!

Kudos!

Developer

Thanks a lot! I really appreciate it! this means the world to me !

I absolutely stink at bullet-hells, but I love to try them out for quick, repeatable fun. Unfortunately, when I died I had to completely close the game and re-open it in order to try it again, and the charming story screens are less charming when you have to blaze through them to get to the game again.

Maybe I missed something to restart, but having the button to press to restart the game or reminding the player what to do would be good? Also sorry if I'm just dumb and can't read or something lol

But it felt really good to shoot all the things! Such juice! Big bang! I just needed it to be easier to start over when I inevitably die every minute lol

Developer

Oh god you're so right, you just need to press SPACE to restart. I completely forgot that! phew that's rough... hope you read this and are able to play it again!

Nice physics controls, and it's all very juicy! I like how it forces fast paced gameplay. But it's too hard and unforgiving for me. I encountered the big boss monster a few times, and then less than a second later I died. :-(

Maybe add health, no insta-death? Or maybe don't let the boss start immediately in full-bore-bullet-hell-lethal mode? Anyway I still liked it and it looks good. :-)

Developer

Thank you so much for your feedback, all valid points! There's a "hidden" way for you to find a one-health up... get your streak x20 and press space, you'll see (:

Very cool game, enjoyed it quite a lot =) Fit the genre pretty good, though it was sometimes kinda hard seeing enemies charge at me through the plants. But nice work in such a short time! And yeah, thanks for decreasing my trust issues lol!

Developer

Awesome! I'm glad you liked it! It is pretty hard sometimes yeah haha

PS: Sorry for implanting you trust issues (:

@mmena Its a great entry, just the right amount of screen shake and very fitting sound design, great job, my only suggestion will be to add some HP or some kind of health system but overall its a very nice game :D

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot for taking the time to say that, means a lot! I agree, some HP would definitely help. I don't know if you encountered the big monster but that one is the only one that has HP and needs to be hit several times before dying.

Submitted(+1)

Yes, @mmena I encountered it actually I died times :P I was talking about our own HP maybe monsters has to hit me 5 times before I die

Developer(+1)

Fair enough haha

it's incredible that you've gotten so much done in so much time. The movement is unique and fun to use, the gameplay is really solid, and there's tons of content for 48 hours. Amazing work! My best score is about 10,000. Please make more if you can

Developer

Thank you!! that means a lot!

We have only slept like 4 hours through the whole thing and we feel like dying now haha but its all part of the game. Can't thank you enough for your comment! Great score btw! my top is 150k something but I honestly don't even remember getting there, I was so focused I didn't see score going up and it was in the editor so I was playing, stopping, making changes, and playing again like a million times so idk, this was very fun.
