I always enjoy these 3D Galagas. I had my students making them this year. I like the change up in the AI. The game could use some variety in enemies and a power up. For the jam, I didn't see how it fits the theme of joined together. I know it's mentioned about their weapons being hacked. I just don't see that in the game.
EDIT:
I didn't notice at first. I read in the comments that your shots trigger the enemy's and I was like "oohhhh" so yeah, I'm dumb. Ignore me lol
