This is a game where each player needs to shoot enemies of opposite colour/charge
in order to gain points. But there is a catch! Ah Ha!!!

Each players character is continuously losing health and in order to gain health they must collect enemies of their own colour.

So while player2 is killing all your colour enemies you are trying to get him to stop because you are slowly dying and are trying your damndest to collect any bit of health that slips through his masterfull firing.

We would have liked to deploy to Xbox 360 but we ran out of time.
The game will however work on windows based machines using either keyboard or Xbox 360 for pc controllers.

The game is 2 player only.
