I thought when I heard describe this that it'd be interesting but maybe a bit of a gimmick - but having played it, I can really say its a lot more engaging than I expected. My brain REALLY struggled to switch context for each ship, so when I need to quickly navigate one then the other to avoid situations, I start making mistakes... and the mistakes compound! I got 4800 as my best so far I think, so no where near the leader board.
The join together mechanic was cool and gave you that sense of feel good - which is interesting really cause all you do is give the player "regular" control during that phase. the burst fire gun seemed really strong. one thing I didnt know as a player was if I collect A and B, would it merge or replace? I assumed replace, so didn't try!
Visuals were cool, feel good to blast things - which is always what you want in a game like this.
Thanks for getting involved in the jam <3
