I suggest adding velocity to the ship, for smooth movement and some sort of thrusting effect. Also, controlling two ships is awkward! Good game though :)"},{"author_name":"Qaterknan","author_uid":"11181","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 8:31pm","epoch":1367353560,"text":"Well I think this concept was here before... The innovation of adding a second ship didn't make me change my gameplay - hold A + Space except for when a ship comes. At least there is cool music and it isn't too easy."},{"author_name":"ahm99","author_uid":"11270","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 8:40pm","epoch":1367354100,"text":"Controlling a SUPER HIGHSPEED object is one thing, controlling two is..well...HARD! Other than that it was pretty fun. In the future, please make an applet. Good job :)"},{"author_name":"iamorim","author_uid":"18057","time":"May 3, 2013 @ 1:26am","epoch":1367544060,"text":"Good game. I like the idea to control two different objects at the same time. It's challenging :)"},{"author_name":"KevinLaity","author_uid":"20851","time":"May 14, 2013 @ 2:40am","epoch":1368498900,"text":"The retro music is great. It's a bit weird that the ship doesn't have inertia but the rotation of the ship does."}],"images":["ld26\/22427-2e48d659411bf3c80831222e1edce445.jpg","ld26\/22427-6e66b0ed327bc51996dabb80773e601c.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/file\/d\/0B6pSRSjFGKQeV3Q0bVZVVTdOdzA\/edit?usp=sharing","text":"Windows"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"26418","g_author":"22427","g_event":"LD26","g_eventkey":"16","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"26448","g_title":"Protector","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"1169","g_commentcount":"8","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/233892\/22427-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/233892\/22427-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"This is a 2D outer space action game.
