New Ribbon Divide
New Ribbon Divide is an Asymmetrical Bullet Hell 2 Player VS Game where one Player controls the Boss using just the Mouse, and the Second Player controls the Fighter using just the Keyboard.
This game is Heavily Inspired by the Project Touhou Series, Old Local-only 2 Player PC/Flash Games, and Shotgun King
(as well as some minor influences from Nuclear Throne, ULTRAKILL and math).
Some Important Notes:
-Hit the "How to Play" button to find out how to even control the game, trust me it's not normal, especially for the Boss.
-Hit TAB instead of ESC (this is only for the HTML version). But if you accidentally hit ESC anyway, just press ESC again to fix the screen.
-Due to the nature of the Boss only using the mouse, the main way to switch weapons with the mouse is the Scroll Wheel, but that also makes the web page scroll, so it's crucial to play the game in FULL SCREEN mode. You can enable full screen in the options menu before starting a match.
-Online Support is ONLY available in the DOWNLOADABLE version, so you and your friend have to download this game, you can just do that by clicking the Download Button down there.
-Fair Warning for the Online Multiplayer: This game uses Peer2Peer, which requires the Host to input their the public IP address and public TCP/UDP port. Only share this info with people you trust.
-If you encounter a crash, just copy paste it in the comments below, and we'll see what we can do.
And now some pre-release Reviews of the game:
"New Ribbon Divide is so cool, it's the first cool game I did"
-That was from me, I said that
"I ask people at the club to play this game with me, and they just walk away"
-That one's also from me
And that's all the pre-release Reviews we got.

PLEASE HELP fullscreen makes the game go W I D E and the pc version has the mouse misplaced!!!!
Having some issues in the web version on chrome and firefox:
Other than that it seems nice. I like the upgrade system + the comeback mechanic of being able to pick multiple when you’re losing. Love the story panels when choosing an upgrade and at the end of the game. Fun that you can draw/stamp the final picture depending on who won.
on HTML you need to press tab to leave the tutorial. on PC you press escape. thanks for playing.
Ah, I tried a bunch of different keys, but must’ve missed tab
This is truly the game of all time. :)
thank you larry
broken game! I can't even play online with my girlfriend because it doesn't run on steam deck! 🤬
i am sorry i CANNOT export to unbuntu 😭
BANISHED FOREVER
my gf loves touhou so we're totally gonna play this together >:D
hi updating my comment now that we have! The game oozes charm, and is a nice time killer! It feels well balanced for both players, and the upgrade system is reminiscent of both Nuclear Throne and Rounds; very fun, and no one upgrade feels too powerful! It can get a tad repetitive after a few plays, but is still really well made for what it is! The win screen shenanigans are a fun dessert after the match is over too! Overall New Ribbon Divide is an easy 8/10, short and very sweet!
