This is a really neat idea. I love how it looks. Diving your ships beneath the asteroids is neat, and that combo-skull attack is awesome! I have no idea how to reproduce it though, it just happens sometimes. Add some sounds and music and this would be a pretty sweet little game. Good job.

This could really use some music and at least some sound effects. Also, the game felt a bit like a 1 button game for two players :P
Aside from those two points, the entry is very solid, cool concept and well-executed. I liked the art and the game was pretty fun.
Good luck in the compo!
I like the idea, i really had hard controlling both ships so i usually just dove with both at the same time.
But it could really use some music and sounds.
First two button game I liked. Nice use of the theme in the mechanics. Cool bosses, well done!
Like the idea of multi-tasking between two ships, although it would've been nice if you had a bit more control.
Pretty cool game, although there wasn't a lot of control... And it got really difficult near the end.

Very nice entry, you managed to make an innovative shmup which not so easy. I'm not a huge fan of shmups usually but I enjoyed playing this one !

Really nice, good mechanic, gc stalls around 8k and sound would just make it awesome :). Very cool entry !
Neat graphics. Also really cool concept both mechanics wise and backstory ahaha :)

Thanks! :)
What do you mean, "gc stalls around 8k"? There's a (kinda messed up :P) slow-mo effect on power-ups, but the game runs smoothly on my laptop at least 'till 1M points (yeah, dev cheat codes :D)

Nice idea !
Cool idea. Seems like you forgot to include the source code (a compo requirement) :)
Really nice art and concept :)

Really cool idea. It would have been nice if there'd been time to build some challenges geared toward the control scheme. As it is everything feels random.

This is really good! I like this idea, it's very solid and challenging, and it feels so smooth.
Well done!

Really like this one. My score was 33.007, I had a lot of fun playing it! The art for the ships is perfect, and I really appreciated all of the variety in the ship/shot patterns! Great job.

Nice entry! Despite the lack of sound, it is really polished and funny to play! Good work ;)
Really great concept. Personally, I would have preferred one ship with maybe a duck and shoot button, as I found it hard to control two ships at the same time - nevertheless this was an impressive little entry that I had to keep playing for 10-15 minutes! :D Great work

Great mechanic, liked how you used two ships. Sometimes felt like you didn't need to bother dodging for long periods of time.
Nice concept! I like that you can play it alone or with a friend. That's a very rare quality.
Nice game !
Good job with the original gameplay, the special shot introduces a cool but hard mechanic. The game becomes so hard at some point that sometimes it feels like diving is as punishing as being shooted :)
Neat pixel art, and great enemies design !
Good job ! Cheers !
