Competitive co-op bullet hell. The objective is to have a higher score than your teammate at the end of the game. Kill more than your friends and try to survive. "The more players you have, the worst it is." Only supports two players, unfortunately.

Press enter to toggle 2-player, press M to toggle my terrible music, press escape to pause.

Player one controls: Arrow keys, >, and ?.

Player two controls: WASD, F, and G.

Score is increased by damaging and killing enemies. Lives are not limited, but death will hurt your score.

Get close to bullets to form a bomb (a little circle below your ship). When it's ready, use the bomb with >/F to become invincible and launch bullets that can damage the other player. You'll lose the bomb anyway if you take a hit, so use it if you're in a tight spot.

Note: The controls have been changed to fix a game-breaking issue with the web version: player 1 pressing control and player 2 pressing W would trigger a common keyboard shortcut, immediately closing the tab. See the rules, under "Additional Notes"

I added links to my work in progress updated version. Try not to play it if you haven't rated the entry yet, but if you just want to have fun, it's the better version.
