Hi! Thanks for playing my game! This is my first Ludum Dare, and I think I bit off more than I could chew O__O
On top of that, this is my first time making a top-down shooter. After hearing the theme I remembered this idea I had about making a top-down shooter where you can dual wield guns, aiming in 2 directions simultaneously. It was a challenge to make the aiming feel intuitive, but I'm happy how it turned out. I can think of a few improvements I'd make to the mechanic, but maybe for another game, another day.
After finishing up the game-play I did not have much time left for the art or animations, so the game looks a little basic. But oh well you live and you learn. I'm happy with the mechanics of the game, and the gameplay is ok. I wish I had time to animate the game a bit more, and add sounds to give the player a bit more feedback.
I think next time I will try make a game thats a bit more basic, and more well rounded. Alternatively I'll team up with an artist and join the Jam :)
Cheers,
Nathan.

i just wish that my mouse diaper while playing
The dual pistol mechanics is really well done. I didn't use it much in the end, since it seemed more effective to fire straight ahead instead. But I think is a great concept that you can use in other games
Levels feel a bit long, specially considering you cannot pause the game. Sometimes I just needed to take a break after some intense fights.
Great work!
