A Duel Hand Disaster: Trackher
Official Description (Ad Blurb)
THIS GAME IS DIFFICULT AND DOES NOT HOLD YOUR HAND AS YOU MIGHT EXPECT IT TO. PAY ATTENTION, PACE YOURSELF, AND TAKE YOUR TIME. IF YOU WANT TO LEARN THE MECHANICS THAT WILL STEP YO GAME UP WATCH THE VIDEOS ABOVE, OR JOIN THE DISCORD. THIS GAME DOES NOT SUPPORT KEYBOARD AND MOUSE. IT IS DESIGNED AROUND A GAMEPAD. IN THE MEANTIME YOUR OTHER OPTION IS TO REQUEST A REFUND. I WON’T GET MAD ;)
A Duel Hand Disaster: Trackher is the only split-screen single player twin stick risk 'em up in which your score is meaningless unless you exist. You control two ships simultaneously. Destroy the left to earn points, while recovering resources on the right to multiply those points. The left side does not take damage. The right side does. Above all you must extract with your score. Playing ‘til death is not an option.
EXTRACT with your score and move on to the next Tier, or jump right back into the one you were on. You will now be able to wager part or all of your previous score, essentially creating a bucket of points that you can earn as a bonus. Choose wisely. Extracting before reaching the wager will mean the wager will become a penalty.
GAMEPLAY:
The screen is split with the HR-D on the left side (Assault) and the DF-R on the right side (Recovery). The HR-D DOES NOT take damage while the DF-R DOES. If the DF-R is destroyed the game is over, you wipe your score, and your leaderboard position if you die during the Sliver Bullet Bonus. Damage is permanent, however you do earn a bonus the lower your health is. Incentivize the risk, not the instinct to quit.
Assault Side: (DOES NOT TAKE DAMAGE | EARNS POINTS)
* Moving and Shooting deteriorates the LINK between the HR-D and DF-R

Recovery Side: (DOES TAKE DAMAGE | RECOVERS RESOURCES THAT HELPS MULTIPLY POINTS)

* Material must be sacrificed to keep the LINK active between the HR-D and DF-R

INTERCONNECTED:
* MATERIAL management is crucial as it is also the final multiplier upon EXTRACTION
* While the DF-R is recovering resources, not only does she not take damage, if the HR-D is destroying enemies you are multiplying your Destruction
* In order to keep your score the LINK must be active and EXTRACTION must be at 100%
* The HR-D must defend the entrance to the Zastrus Core otherwise the Trackers will come for the DF-R's resources and cause heavy damage
* Activating the DF-R's shields will sacrifice MATERIAL, initiate a mulitiplier on the left, and must be kept active for shields to stay active
* Boost with the DF-R and take less damage, if you are Boosting while shields are active you won't take any damage at all
* Only the Repeater will chain the multiplier and keep the DF-R's shield active
* Satan 2's can instantly extend or eradicate the multiplier. Pay attention to it's path
* Killing a Tracker on the LEFT, will spawn Material on the Right, Recovering Material on the RIGHT will spawn an Upgrade on the LEFT
