Your game is beautiful, but I had a hard time figuring out how to select a level initially.

Well I've given this 5 stars for everything. This is by far the best, most polished, prettiest and coolest game I've played so far.

Holy cow, it looks amazing, is hella difficult and implements two button controls like a boss. Freaking amazing, good job man!

Cool game.. at first it was hard to play, then I realized that I could just look left part of the screen and continuously tap right arrow so it killed all enemies which came from there. :B

Really great game! Really tests those multitasking skills XD

I got used to the controls quickly, but I had a much better time playing with two hands (one for each button) then with two fingers from the same hand. It may be because my brain thinks that "one hand must do one task", instead of giving each finger a role.

Anyway, awesome work!

great job!

Pretty cool concept. I figured out an easy strategy: Ignore the right side, and just press D in a steady rhythm to shoot all the targets, while putting full attention on the left side, moving only when necessary, and only when the horizontal way is clear. Once I discovered this, it was trivially easy to beat the first four levels, at which point I quit playing.

Insanely beautiful presentation! I really wish there was a way to move in both directions, but you were really stuck with the theme. Maybe if the mouse's x position was mapped to both screens and clicking would move the designated player like you already have it? I dunno! Great work!

This game was awesome. For a 48-hour compo game, it felt incredibly well-polished. It had a nice difficulty curve - it started easy and ended hard, with no sudden jumps in between.

Yes! I beat it!
This game was really good, but really tough. I had to think of different ways of multitasking differently. Sometimes I focused on the left, sometimes on the right. I even tried focusing in the middle of the screen to see both sides!


I would have loved to see and endless mode where you just survive as long as possible while the game keeps speeding up. But these levels were also really fun ti play through. Awesome presentation audio and graphically. Great job!

My mind is kinda messed up haha, i think that's fun. I always like the things you draw using the 2d canvas api.
