This is a submission for the Gamedev.tv GameJam 2023 with the theme Life in 2 dimensions.
Ripped Apart tells the story of a creature whose soul was ripped out of its body.
Play a mind melting bullet hell shooter by controlling your soul at the top of your screen (dimension of the dead) and your body at the bottom of the screen (dimension of the mortal) with the catch that they move in opposite directions. Dodging one bullet could mean crashing into another one on the other half of the screen. Survive as long as your skill allows you to and you might even face off against the evil overlord.

The controls are wasd to move around and space bar to reverse your movement. On the game over screen press enter to continue.

Building for WebGL with Unity is a bit weird so it's not quite the intended experience but it's quite close. For the intended experience please download the zip file corresponding to your OS.

I'd like to see what this game would look like if both characters moved normally instead of mirrors and if the bullets didn't cancel eachother out :)
