River Twin

River Twin is a 2D top down shooter where the goal is  guide a pair of space ships through the perilous river basin.

This game was made for the 8 Bits to Infinity Vertical Jam. In creating this project, I took inspiration from some of my favorite vertical games especially River Raid from the Atari 2600. 

In each playthrough the areas are shuffled so it should be a new ( ish ) experience each time.

This was my first time making this type of game and I think it turned out pretty well. Hopefully, you will enjoy it as well.
