Bound - Jam Version
UPDATED VERSION (Download only)
-- Known bug: If Z button doesn't work try refreshing --
ABOUT
A space shoot 'em up where you're bound to the enemy.
In the heat of the battle you ended up stuck to a commander ship from the opposition. It's up to you to survive the journey - the commander will do whatever he can to bring you down, even if it kills you both...
CONTROLS
Z = Switch aircraft position
X = Shoot (white ship only)
Arrows = Move
R = Restart
HOW TO PLAY
Use the white ship to attack incoming enemy ships and rack up points, switch to the red ship to soak up damage an avoid enemy attacks - watch out that neither of the ship's health is totally depleted.
-- Missing feature: The red ship would launch a missile attack at you if its health was at 100% --

Note: I'm pretty new to programming and gamedev in general which kept my from being able to really explore the concept fully by adding more mechanics but hey I managed to finish the game which is more than I thought I'd be able to achieve!
Thanks for playing!
