Lone Bastion by Cosmo8
You are alone, trapped in the center of a star station.
From each wing, enemies slowly pour in, and their only goal is to kill the one person aboard; You.
Your only defense from these threats is a set of combat drones, with limited vision.
If a single enemy gets through, you're dead for certain.
There is no rescue, there is no escape. All you can do is delay the inevitable.

Game tweeks that I believe would have made a bit better experience is faster turn time and changing bullet movement as I believed they moved in a wierd and unusual way. Though it is your game and I respect your design.
Gameplay is completely different though.
Fun way to tickle the multi-tasking part of your brain.
Controls could be tighter and gun feedback is not immensely satisfying but it's a game jam after all.
If explored further I think a less arcady and more level based direction would be great.
Exploring a space station and switiching between your drones, having to set up traps by flushing enemies out with one drone and shooting them with the other when they run in that drones' direction.
Good job regardless.
