This is my second-ever Ludum Dare, and first time succeeding at making a complete game. All graphics are procedurally generated on the fly. The Perlin noise algorithm was used for background noise.
The game itself was all written using the Phaser javascript game engine, with code written in TypeScript within Visual Studio 2015.
In this game you will be controlling two growing balls of electricity.
Control the left one by using the A and D keys, and the right one with the Left and Right arrow keys. They cannot move independently and must be moved TOGETHER.
Fun game, I liked your take on the two button theme. Hitting 'enter' to restart after a game over would be nice. Other than that nicely done, I enjoyed it.
Great implementation of both themes and an original concept. However, it doesn't fit my slightly smaller resolution (1366*768), and a replay button would be nice.
That is mental! It's so hard to keep one in a holding pattern when you need to maneuver the other. It feels like a brain training exercise almost more than a game. Clever use of the theme.
Awesome concept! Trying to coordinate both sides is really challenging and fun.
The background effect with the noise is also very cool when you see it in movement, with fitting colours for the balls and the middle area it might feel pretty trippy.
Crikey, this feels much the same way learning the drums did. Brain not cut out for this :) Well implemented though. I thought the "try it now" thing at the beginning was a nice touch btw.
Man that background gets to you after a while, nice application of Perlin noise though. You might have coincidentally found a great way of making people motion sick though lol. Challenging gameplay, it takes some practice to get good at watching both sides and finding a path. Good job!
Interesting twist on two-button theme. It certainly takes some brain power to watch both sides and remember to press both buttons to move them.

At first I thought I was supposed to pick up some of the balls, but apparently all of them were bad. It would have made the gameplay more interesting if some of them had some positive effect. Anyway, the game is challenging as it is, and you could definitely work more on this concept.

Paying attention to both sides and keeping the balls in sync while avoiding enemies was a lot of fun. Interesting idea.
Nice game though.
The background effect with the noise is also very cool when you see it in movement, with fitting colours for the balls and the middle area it might feel pretty trippy.
Well done!
+ Great concept
+ Awesome background noise
+ Gets really intense
Con:
- Some graphical effects in the objects would be great, also some music, but then I'm asking too much on a compo xp
Obs:
o A restart button would be nice
Great entry!
Interesting concept with the different layouts on each side... Made it much more fun and challenging...
