Alternate guardians

Coolness★★★★★★★★★★10%

AG is a really simple survival shmup or two, with a bit of a twist.

You control two ships, one with the mouse, and another with WASD. One can use a ship to block bullets and kill enemies for the other ship's convenience.

Tools: C++, VS 2013 SFML, GIMP, Audacity

Concept is cool: Two shmups/bullet hells at once. Neat, but not groundbreaking.
Particle effects very nice, backgrounds decent, sprites lacking.
Sound and music present, check.
Pretty fun, a real challenge for your coordination - controlling one ship the the mouse and the other with the keyboard.
Pretty cool. Find an artist and it'll improve 10x.

I agree. Concept should be used in more elaborated shmup. Maybe it's the best thing i would say for a game in a compo like this!

Neat concept. The controls are a bit hard to get used to, so maybe the game should start out slower.

Nice game! It is really hard to play alone but with a friend it becomes manageable :)
Keep up the good work!

The game stuttered horribly each time I moved the mouse, making it pretty much unplayable. Still, I'll give it 4.5/5. Missing 0.5 because I did not taste the salami.
