So if weapons are for killing/hurting the enemy, an unconventional weapon might HEAL him.
HOW TO PLAY:
- Orange Orb shoots Orange bullets, and they hurt him, but they HEAL the enemy - Same goes for Blue Orb
- Orange Orb has to catch blue bullets to survive and avoid orange (his) bullets - Same goes for Blue Orb
- if the Orbs get to close to each other they'll get sucked into another by forcefield - escape forcefield ASAP, as it is killing all bulets (good or bad) in sight and kills Orbs faster
Whoever survives the longest, wins!
Enjoy!

The graphics are gorgeous! Little much to take in at first, kept getting confused on which are projectiles and why I'm getting tethered to everything, but great work regardless of my ignorance!
Super cool idea, and great packaging, but I feel like there is no real way to 'attack' the other player: It's just a surviving contest, and it's hard to avoid your own bullets because they sometime spawn just under your nose...
@PapyPilgrim yeah. It's a game of defense rather than offense. The bullets dont hurt you right away. There is a time gap when you release them so you can escape. Ofcourse sometimes you will got hit but so does the enemy ;)
The game looks amazing! And the music fits well! The gameplay, however, seems to be straightforward and lacking strategy. I enjoyed this game a lot, but mainly because of graphics. I wish there was another way to tell how much health do you have, like orbs becoming smaller or dimmer.
@mortus focus on catching blue particles. Bigger particles heals more so if there is a choice chose bigger. Dont worry about orange particles. I mean try to avoid bigger groups of them, but just focus on catching as many blue ones ;)
Great graphics and solid audio. It says on the game that the audio is by @qrchack? if that isn't you then this should really be a Jam instead of a Compo entry. Nice concept though.
the visuals are nice and the concept is original, good job! i would have like some way to release the bullets myself as to make it a little more tactical
Nice one. A bit too random. Not sure what's happening most of the time. And I had difficulties separating from the other orb. But all in all, it's a very nice game.
Wonderful visuals! The game is fun to play but it's not sooo obvious why you win or lose at the end. Catching the bullets isn't this easy and given the "floating style" of movement it's tricky to get the bullets you need.
Once I read the nxtructions, this was definitely a very fun game to play! Some strange initial "dance" avoiding the other orb, always moving, and then a final "kill"... very original. Perhaps the screen is a little bit too shaky at times, and I would have liked to play fullscreen. The graphics and VFX are gorgeous! Nice music too, gives quite an atmosphere.
