Sideline by Vandash
Sideline is a dual stick shooter in which your ship's direction directly affects the game rules. Xbox usb controller is strongly recommanded!
*Note: If you've never played or are not used to dual stick shooter you should play ~15mins to get used to the controls :)
Tips & Game rules :
- Move using the left stick or keyboard arrows.
- By going UP you enter the red world, and you can shoot by using the right stick or the mouse. But enemies become more hostile as well.
- By going DOWN you enter the green world in which your ship gets upgraded, but you can't shoot.
- By going LEFT you enter the blue world where time slows down.
- And RIGHT is the yellow speedy world.
- At the start of the game, go down to upgrade your ship!
- Try to exit the arena to teleport to the opposite side.
- Make sure to grab the score multipliers!
- When going throught the right arena wall you spawn a multiplier.
- Make sure to kill the spawners as soon as possible.
- Challenge your friends, my personnal best score is 45000.
Thanks a lot to Ludum Dare Paris for organisation, as always :)

Also the first time I'm doing music on my own, and I really enjoyed it! I hope you like the game :) Let me know your score!

Really hard, but looks stunning and plays brilliantly.
Clever mechanics. Reminded me a little of Braid.
Well-developed gameplay with a variety of elements and mechanics.
Perfectly appropriate sound and music.
A+, no criticisms.
Maybe this is clearer:
1. Move up to enable guns
2. Left click to shoot
Nice game! :)
Great fun.
The only thing i felt could have benefitted it was some extra lives on the ship, so you can take some bullets before dying. But maybe thats just because i am bad at it.
Yet, this game did a pretty good job of explaining through the gameplay (and the instructions) I went in knowing exactly what I should do and how (albeit it was a bit vague that upgrading is done overtime over how long you press down).
While I don' have a score that would award me a gold medal (highest is about 86 I think), it made me feel good as it got better with time (as mentioned you'd need about 15 minutes to get used to the controls. I started with a score of 7 then went to 86 finally).
All in all, great game. I liked the music and definitely liked the sound effects.
Very well done.
Julien ! Du meet up parisien !
Loved the theme implementation.
