The vision concept was cool and both added to the difficulty of the level and gave the game a unique feel from games like asteroids. The three way defense with different ships was also cool. The theme translates to a arcade style game. Not the most innovative but does the trick. I also thought the theme was hard to create something innovative with.\nGame 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.

It really sets a consistent tone throughout, and the indicator down at the bottom left to show how close each branch is is absolutely excellent.

A game that I really like.\nGameplay is completely different though.\n\nFun way to tickle the multi-tasking part of your brain.\n\nControls could be tighter and gun feedback is not immensely satisfying but it's a game jam after all.\n\nIf explored further I think a less arcady and more level based direction would be great.\nExploring 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.\n\nGood job regardless.","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":826599,"author_name":"Rustywolf","author_uid":"rustywolf","epoch":1649762862,"text":"Super fun.
