A really cool and challenging game but it still needs a lot of work. First I think that it is too easy and you can't really die. I think there should be less lives also a shooting delay would be nice because you can just spam. One more thing is that I often got confused with controls and what character I am controlling (because I have no friends and I am playing alone) Adding a icon like an W icon on the player that you control with WASD and an arrow icon on the player which is controlled with the arrows would be make this better. I loved the cute art and also the music was repetitive and nice. I would rate this 8.5 / 10 but it was a nice take on the theme and a really good and challenging game. You did a great job friend!

In what way does your game fit the theme?
Both player characters have to be together in order to shoot and kill the ghosts.
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, all code and assets(including music) were created by me.

When I saw the directions, I thought this game would be super easy, but I was so wrong! I did pretty good until I accidentally swapped the position of my characters and then I started moving them in the opposite direction and my brain broke. This is a really cool mechanic and you executed it well, great job!
Here’s my game if you’d like to give it a play.

Fam Slam: TogetherThis is a really cool twist on space invaders, and I thought it fit the theme very well. Though, I do wish I was able to hold down the shoot key to shoot continuously. Also the graphics are very cute.

Oatmeal & the Elemental TrioInteresting! I like the idea of being able to shoot only when near.
Suggestion: The player can just bring two of the characters in one corner and spam the attack button, and since all enemies will pass through that point, the player can break the game like that and easily obtain tons of points. One way to fix this could be to make so the enemies move in different direction so the player can't easily predict the enemy movement and camp in one corner.
Overall I like the game. Great!

Blobs. Together. Strong.The graphics are really cute! ^^
I like the concept of not being able to shoot if you're too far away from your friend, however it was a bit difficult for me to manage the red one because I have an azerty keyboard..
Might be fun to play with a friend, too!

Repeat After Me.The idea that you can only shot when both players are near each other is interesting for a coop game and could definitely be expanded on in cool ways. Cool Game!

Wasteland ScrappersIt was fun!!! A quick play, I like the fact that new monsters started appearing. Couldn't keep playing though because around 10 000 score it lags !

Repeat After Me.The game is not bad. Perhaps it would be better if the game was more diverse (boss battle, some bonuses).If you want, then rate my game.
