Hey JPOP, thanks for giving my game a few spins! Yes I wrote the music myself, and I agree, the game took on a different persona once the music was in place. That was a very fun process!
I talk a little bit about it in my dev diary video, it is timestamped in description if you're interested in me rambling about it: (1:08:40)
This is a great example of a bullet hell shump! It took me a bit to get comfortable, but once I got a hang of it, I had a blast. Great work! Looking forward to more of you stuff!
Thank you for the kind words, GameOverGuy! I'm glad that you overcame that initial learning curve, I probably still have a lot to learn on how to guide players into my gameplay loop, :) - looking ahead, I think I will do some more small projects, since this was my first I learned a lot on this one!
I completely get where you are coming from! When designing games one almost gets sucked into all aspects except how to teach the player how to play. In some of my previous jams, I would scramble to explain how to play either in a giant wall of text or in some menu ui at the last minute. Seriously though, great work :)
I am not used to play bullet hell games, so it was a little difficult to me to progress through the game. But once I get used, it got really fun. At first I did not understand the EX mechanic. Maybe you could explain in the game description how it works.
Thanks for playing! And thanks for the feedback! I thought I had a gif on the itch page explaining the use of EX, did you find that not helpful enough? Let me know if you mean a description inside the game or a better one outside.

I finally got around to playing this one and I am glad I did! Good game.
You know what, for me, adds the most to the game? The music! Did you write that yourself?
Well done.

Great game indeed!
Congrats!
Hey Eduardo,
Thanks for playing! And thanks for the feedback! I thought I had a gif on the itch page explaining the use of EX, did you find that not helpful enough? Let me know if you mean a description inside the game or a better one outside.
Hi! I'm sorry, I did not make my self clear about the EX mechanic. You could explain it inside the game.
Your game is great, one of the best in this jam!
Perfect, thanks for the feedback!! I agree with that change haha
This is so good. Seeing the constant improvements was a blast!
thanks !! Now that it is done I can finally play SchildM8 😈😈
