Well, I finished! Touch and go there for a little while, but it is a complete game. I didn't get time to add sound, sorry. But I hope you enjoy! Let me know what you think!

Aliens have invaded and they are after our geese! You must go to space and fend them off!! However, the experimental engine on your ship can only keep you in the aliens' realm for 10 seconds at a time, so watch your fire while your engine recharges. Think of the geese!!!

I like the idea of swapping between worlds every 10 seconds, most games simply end in 10 seconds. I actually didn't realize I shouldn't kill the geese, but I like the idea of the gameplay changing each time you switch, it reminds me of a game I made several years ago with "two-sided" gameplay: http://gamejolt.com/games/arcade/axis-caeli/4007/
Although the jumping back and forth thing was a little hard to get used to at first. And i wasn't all that sure what i was doing with the geese besides trying to get another life.
My personal objective was flying over as many goose as I could! hahahhaha really liked the enemies, but a few power ups or different elements on the scenario would be nice!
OK, you guys caught me. There was supposed to be some story elements including an alternate ending where you fight the mother goose instead of the head alien.... 48 hours is not much time!
Sound would have added a lot, or at least some feedback for the fact that you're not supposed to kill geese :( . Though I like R-type and gradius so I enjoyed this.
Would like to see some powerups, or maybe control over shifting dimensions.
Personally I'm with the aliens, I think geese could use another natural predator. They really have their run of the golf courses around where I grew up.
Seriously though, fun game! The switch between offense and defense is pretty unique.
The switching back and forth made for some good pacing. Nice hit reacts on the enemies, and I liked how you added in little touches like the tilt on the ship when accelerating/decelerating. Nice work :)
