Mutitask Hero by Thalikoth
Hi there,
Thanks for checking out my LD31 game Multitask Hero!
In this game you play the Hero who must survive 4 different levels and defeat the boss in the 4th level.
However, all 4 levels are played simultaneously.
You have to pay attention to what is happening in all levels and prove your multitasking skills.
Have fun!
P.S.: It's really hard the first time, please don't get demotivated, practice makes perfect!
=============
CONTROLS
=============
Level 1 controls: W, S, A, D for movement
Level 2 controls: Up, Down, Left, Right for movement, RCtrl for slashing
Level 3 controls: Mouse for aiming, LMB for shooting
Level 4 controls: Numpad keys to pick up the right bomb (Make sure numlock is on!)
Quit: ESC
=============
PATCH NOTES
=============
12/07 Submitted initial LD31 compo version
13/07 Fixed a bug that prevented the player from clearing stages

The individual sub-screens are WAY too big - I've got a reasonably standard laptop monitor (1366x768), and I think I was only seeing about 2/3 of each subscreen.
Also, you've got just a few bugs ;). The "you won level 2/3!" text drew in the top-right corner for me, and somehow I got the boss into negative HP (bar going out the left) without getting a win notification.
I just have the feeling the controls (and the confusion it adds by moving your hands around this much) make the game feel overly complicated. But it's a multitask challenge so I guess that's part of the deal.
Neat idea but (of course) really hard to get down. Maybe it's better to always use WASD to control and the cursor key or mouse to switch between the windows? Just a thought.
