Fixed a bug where the level end was not triggering.  Levels 2&3 are now playable. 

Hi! Thanks for playing my game! 
This is my first Ludum Dare, and I think I bit off more than I could chew O__O 

On top of that, this is my first time making a top-down shooter. After hearing the theme I remembered this idea I had about making a top-down shooter where you can dual wield guns, aiming in 2 directions simultaneously. It was a challenge to make the aiming feel intuitive, but I'm happy how it turned out. I can think of a few improvements I'd make to the mechanic, but maybe for another game, another day.

After finishing up the game-play I did not have much time left for the art or animations, so the game looks a little basic. But oh well you live and you learn. I'm happy with the mechanics of the game, and the gameplay is ok. I wish I had time to animate the game a bit more, and add sounds to give the player a bit more feedback. 

I think next time I will try make a game thats a bit more basic, and more well rounded. Alternatively I'll team up with an artist and join the Jam :)

Cheers, 

Nathan.
