Hero of the DesertThe visuals are good, and I had fun for a while. But then I realized I could kill enemies as soon as they appear, and since the difficulty does not increase, I could play forever. I think this game needs more variety to enemies, preferably those who require you to switch.
I also didn't realize the red ship is an enemy until I read the description. Are you planning to add more stuff that requires this setting? I know "red ship shooting at you when in full health" is missing content, but I think that will only add minor annoyance to the game(you can prove me wrong though). Maybe controlling the red ship will make enemies behave differently or unlock new areas. Or, if you can't come up with good reasons, you can scrap the idea of bounding to the enemy ship and make the game about two ships with different abilities joined together.
The aesthetics of this game are on point! The controls are snappy, and everything feels great!
However, I disliked how the shooting and switching actions were mapped to the z and x keys. It would have been better, in my opinion, to map to the space and shift the keys instead.
Nice work!

AstroDriftReally enjoy the concept and with its tight control and design that fits a classic arcade game this is really well done! Good work! :D

Ghosts of GeometryThe aesthetic is very well done and I like the core concept a lot. I felt like I never completely understood why you would ever really need to switch, other than for the big walls of stuff, since the red ship having more heath (which I think it does?) doesn't really matter if you are dodging everything anyway. Something like having the white ships health bar be much smaller in comparison to the red one would help communicate the difference more. Good job overall.

Side by SizeReally interesting main mechanic! Unlike anything I've played for the jam. Once I figured it out, it worked fantastically, but for a while I was completely stumped as to what the point of switching was. Making that clear in game would be great in an update!
