main.png

A brother and sister is trapped in the dungeon. There are terrible monsters and random bullets in the dungeon.

Use WASD to control brother.

The brother has a solid shield which can block all bullets. The shield will always point to where your mouse is.

The sister has two state, follow the brother or stay at somewhere. Press LMB to switch between two states. When the sister is staying, she will shoot to where your mouse is.

Bullets will hurt the brother and the sister. When one of them die, the game is over.

Keep them alive :)

Hi.
Congrats on making this game in three days! ´
I really like that it forces you to take a different approach than you would in this kind of games. I also like the main characters sprites(why is he holding a sword though?).
I didn't like that the game starts without giving you a chance to read the instructions, I also though that it started way too hard, I got overwhelmed fast.

@xmatos Thank you for your comments and likes!! The problem of the protagonist holding the sword is that we thought about making the attack mode at the beginning, and the constant discussion and modification on the playing method finally became the current situation. The problem of the instruction manual was not considered at the beginning, resulting in increased difficulty. Thank you for your valuable comments! We'll keep going.![img-765823e808ff017b43b12ded29bf2118.jpg](///raw/001/13/z/30f73.jpg)

Congratulations with your game! I played for a while and had a great time. I would make the controlls more obvious though. Good luck

Congratulations.
The collisions between the 2 characters are difficult to deal with. But this asynchronous gameplay is a good idea.

Love the idea, my first project was about a brother/sister idea with the sister going slower than its brother but in charge of damages.. Great to see another example of this idea. Good feeling overall, just collisions between players is a bit hard to handle

Pretty unique mechanic - split attack and moving for fidderent characters, but I love that. With a shield angular speed a little faster, byt in overall I love that

I like it, except that she can shoot him, and hurt him and that makes it less fun. Otherwise, controlling two characters is awesome. I do wish the shield moved faster also.

Nice idea to splitting gameplay brother/sister. The controls are a bit hard, damage done is from myself most of the times. Overall, Good work!

@mehrdadsh Hello, I'm the art design of this game. Thank you for your invitation. But because there are too many homework in school recently (we are still in school), I really can't join in the new game production. I'm sorry, you are an excellent game producer. I hope you can find a better graphic design♥
