This is a game created for the 2021 GMTK Game Jam where your inputs control two different mini-games at once: on the left side of the screen, a top-down maze-like game. On the right side, a shmup where you lose health if the enemy ships touch you.   

On the left side, you can press space to toggle between parallel universes where the obstacles are different. When you complete a level by getting to the yellow dot, you add 1 health to the other side.  

On the right side, you can press space to shoot at enemies and prevent them from touching you. If you lose all your health, the game is over on both sides.  

CONTROLS: 

Right Side: 

Space to shoot 

W accelerate 

A turn left 

D turn right  

Left Side: 

Space to toggle between universes 

W move up 

A move left 

S move down 

D move right  

This game was made in 2 hours and 15 minutes.

Just so you know the restart button at the top right causes bugs. If you want to play again after a game over reload the page.

Man I have improved a ton since I made this. To be fair though I was 13 at the time so I guess it's good for being that age

"2 hours and 15 minutes" WHAT. Wild. The song was a bop, and once I figured out the mechanics it was quite a challenge! Very cool!

Lovely Mechanics.

Needs more levels IMO.

Also,

Finished my game please play and leave feedback. There is something very unique about the controls. https://sgt-blade.itch.io/wartorn

As someone who programmed this game, pro tip: Stay in the middle on the right side to give yourself more time to destroy enemies as they spawn and to avoid them spawning on you. Backing up to the divider makes it a lot easier to pick off enemies coming from different angles. I would focus mainly on the right side and use the left when you have a decent amount of health (focusing on the left leaves you open to attack) Also you can use the divider to lock your position making it so you can move the left without the right.

A lovely game that's hard to get used to for a few seconds but very enjoyable. I'd recommend giving a warning before the enemies spawn on the right side though cause i found several instances of enemies spawning on me.

I don't have enough time left to update

I appreciate the game sfx and music a lot. Nostalgia. Congrats!

Thank you! Just so you know the music wasn't created by me (I suck at creating music)
