Controls: WASD to move around, arrow keys to shoot/aim, r/g/b to switch between the Layers, Enter to Accept/Continue
Every second you gain 1 point for everyone of your ships, at 100 and 200 points your ships get stronger. Enemy ships in inactive Layers are slowed down. Your ships have 3 lifes each.
IMPORTANT: Running this game in a different resolution than 1280x720 will cause graphical problems.
A very interesting concept, and one I would like to see more of in a more polished form.
Personally I did have issues with how hard it is to keep your three ships alive compared to just keeping one alive, leaving me playing through the game with just a single ship. There's some possible changes you could experiment with here, such as having the ships move together, or maybe reduced spawning on the active layer.
The other issue I had was how tricky switching between ships was using a keyboard. Since there's only three ships, the ability to cycle through them, perhaps with Q and E, would be a lot easier than having to remember and push three seperate hotkeys.
Apart from those issues, I thought this was a very fun game!
I like the idea and also the graphical effects (flashing of the ships when you are close to dying). However, once you're down to one ship it becomes way too easy. I think it would be better if there were fewer enemies, but you died as soon as any one of your ships is destroyed.
Cool idea - I found it difficult to manage so many ships and so many enemies coming at them.
Some good potential here, I would have liked to have seen a little more polish regarding feedback when my ships are getting hit or when they are hitting the enemy.
I love this idea! However, there doesn't seem to be a downside to letting two of your ships die (as it's hard to focus on them all at once). Controller support is awesome though! I'd love to play a more refined version.
Cool shooter, with a nice twist. You can exploit the enemy spawning system by centering yourself at the bottom (there's a spot where you can shoot at all spawn points just by rotating, making the game very easy). I'd like to see it when it's polished up!

Cool idea, it's not only an entire game on one screen, it's three games at the same time! Cool interpretation of the theme.
