"You know like some people look happy but beneath their surface the are figthing, unseen by the outer observer? This is a story about one of them."
You play two characters at the same time -- the happy one, on the surface, whos job it is to collect items and receive health or ammo and the angry one, beneath the surface who kills enemies and collects points.

sorry for the loud sound, didn't realize this while making the game.
Nice concept, would have worked for two worlds or reflection etc themes also... I think the shmup controls needed a lot more polish, it seemed a bit too difficult, maybe there was too much inertia.
I love that you also went with the "You control more than one" theme. And the fact that the top guy has to collect bullets for the ship! That's a really cool mechanic!
that metaphor is genius! Im in love with the core idea, but I didnt enjoy the gameplay that much (not that much into bullethell). Feels polished and rouded up! =)
Very cool idea with this one. It was really fun balancing the two different game-play styles and nice how they impacted each other. The only issues I ran into was on my first play I didn't get any sound and it also crashed at one point and froze my browser when I hit a wall. Everything was flawless on the second playthrough though.
Interesting concept. Separatedly the parts of your game are simple, but it's challenging to concentrate on both combined. Some more variation would be nice.

Great work!
