Below the belt by kill0u
Theme: "Two button controls"
The enemy's EMP has messed up your systems pretty bad. You managed to put your ships on autopilot, and the only thing you can still do by yourself is dive in the asteroid belt or go back to the battlefield.
Controls:
Hold X to dive with your pink ship, and C for your green ship.
While hiding in the asteroid belt, the enemy cannot hurt you. However, the dirt is damaging your engines, so you can't stay there too long or your engines would explode.
Special shot:
Your ships can fire a special shot (the skull-shaped bullet) instead of basic bullets, under certain circumstances:
- They have to be really close to each other
- Both ships have to be in the battlefield
- They must be going forward
---
Sorry about the lack of sound, I know it would have been a lot better with some. I actually managed to get some time to do the sounds during the compo, but sunvox wouldn't recognise my sound card so I gave up after a few minutes.

Aside from those two points, the entry is very solid, cool concept and well-executed. I liked the art and the game was pretty fun.
Good luck in the compo!
But it could really use some music and sounds.
What do you mean, "gc stalls around 8k"? There's a (kinda messed up :P) slow-mo effect on power-ups, but the game runs smoothly on my laptop at least 'till 1M points (yeah, dev cheat codes :D)
Well done!
Good job with the original gameplay, the special shot introduces a cool but hard mechanic. The game becomes so hard at some point that sometimes it feels like diving is as punishing as being shooted :)
Neat pixel art, and great enemies design !
Good job ! Cheers !
