I also made a "one-stick" twin-stick shooter. So it's interesting to see other's people interpretations of the same idea. I liked the "function swapping" mechanic!

Nice! I like the idea of only having one control enable at a type and the twist that you can swap between the two is good. I don't know if this is the intended the designed but I just launch my self forward on the middle the of the screen at full speed and switched to laser mode to wreak havoc

Worlds ApartQuite peculiar work, hard, but enjoyable. But I don't like the game don't have decent controls for keyboard and mouse.

One Spear, One Killi was worried about difficulty, with traditional controls im the kind of player that can take old atari games designed to eat quarters that inspired this one and play for a long while on just one credit. A controller is the way the game was meant to be played, however some bug i missed is forcing only 8 firing angles and not the intended full range of aiming.
Really fun! I like the challenge of constantly having to switch focus. Free aiming would be great but you said that's a bug so no worries.

Late Stage Cap-italismI really like the various enemies. I'd tell you my favorite one, "but we don't have time for such antique things around here" :P
