Space Research Team by Pinion & Ismei.
We're a husband and wife team and this is our first Ludum Dare entry we've worked on together. We've previously done solo Compo efforts.
As this was our first time working together we made a co-op game because we spend a lot of our time playing them. We chose the two button theme.
The game is written in java using libGdx, all graphics done in paint.net and sounds in bfxr.
THE GAME:
You must work together as pilots of a science spaceship to protect it from hostile space objects.
The theme is two button controls and you have two buttons each. Hopefully nobody will press the wrong button at the wrong time!
Note to AZERTY users - Even though the game says Q and W, A and Z will work too.
We put up a smaller version for those with bad connections who already have java. For everyone else, download the 'full' version and run the batch file.
Good luck out there scientists.

I must say, the claim 'you are scientists' didn't come through, its about shooting bad guys.
After 30 seconds you can go to the next level by pressing space or enter, the next level will have new enemies and looks, etc.
When playing co-op, had good fun when you both tried to do a shared colour without consulting your partner and got in each other's way.
The little flavour text was cute and funny. Having different backgrounds for each section gave a nice sense that you were progressing.
GOOD STUFF, FRIEND.
I also love the flavor text, although it needs some more improvement.
The enemies however might be a little too fast.
