Fun! I like the direction you went with the theme! Sounds would be nice but overall very nice game!
This was fun! A great interpretation of the jam's theme, smooth controls, good graphics and music. Sound effects would have been a welcome addition to the game, but that still does not detract from this well-developed, well-executed game. This is a very good entry to the jam.
Really well done all around. The pacing and diffculty increase is smooth and there's tactical choiche to be made. Some sound on enemy hit could be cool and the ending /Spoiler I wish I could have keep the hand or having a different thing having resisted the surrender at first. Small details this has been real nice to play!
I wouldn't have minded a keyboard firing method, even if it was only cardinal directions. But everything else was great!
Very neat, fits the theme really well.
The one thing I felt like missed the most was sound effects.
Very cool concept and it feels really nice to play! Of course you feel worse and worse as the game goes on but you managed to balance it out really well. Cool use of mechanics and themes and its a very pretty game!
Addictive, I love how the difficulty of the game increases based on your abilities. Incredibly awesome game design idea that matches with the theme in both the story and gameplay. Loved the fact that the enemies you start with become a bit more of a threat towards the end as well as the chilling story. Very smart, and I enjoyed it. You also kept it all in one level, and it was challenging as you continue to lose pieces. The ultimate winner of this game though is the Dreadhand. You definitely have a follower from me!
Its a fun little game! I suck so much haha, but made it to level 1! Good idea to count down and not up :D
Absolutely AWESOME! It felt super fun to play and the music was great. Nice work!
Great stuff! The art looks awesome and this is one of the juiciest games I've played in this jam and that's something I always look for. It feels like it's lacking some sound effects though but I also think too much SFX would detract from the music and atmosphere so maybe it's fine as is. One thing I'm more certain of is the camera shake is a tad excessive. It doesn't bother me personally but I know some will find it uncomfortable since I've gotten complaints about my excessive camera shake in a past project.
Thank you for the kind words. Glad to hear the time spent juicing it up was worth it.
I'll will definitely get some sound effects added for the post-jam, but you are correct that I wouldn't want them to be too overwhelming or suffocate the music.
Will do some tinkering over the next few days to find the right balance :)
Awesome take on the jam's theme!
Great work! The art is super cool, and I especially like the color combination and the music.
This is really well done! The writing is awesome and I'm definitely a little jealous of a bunch of the details you implemented that I never even considered (enemy variations, telegraphing spawn points, death animations).
Super awesome color palette and the game play feels really good. I was so close to making it to level 1, but alas I lost everything. Super fun great job!
I love the color scheme so much! The font is also so so good and works incredibly well, is it custom made? At the beginning when you shoot a lot the screen shake makes it a bit hard to see, but as you lose the fire rate the problem is no longer present and the game becomes really challenging but not unfair. The esthetic is really cohesive too! Awesome submission man!
I love the music, thank you Not Jam!
I think the graphics look terrific, and I especially like the pentagram 'beam-down' animation which is metal AF!
I'm desperate to hear sound effects here. I think this has legs as a full game, and hopefully in future versions I hear some.
You rock keep up the good work!

Love the take on the theme, the colour scheme and artwork. Fabulous submission.
This is a very interesting take on the bullet haven genre. I really like the whole idea. It's just that during the game it happened to me quite often that I clicked quickly and then clicked off some option by mistake. Would like to give a longer time non-clickable selections after display.
