Really interesting gameplay! Good job!
This is possibly the best game in the jam
That means a lot, thanks!
It's amazing. You probably work in game industry. I didn't see something similar, to it's quite originally. I think it deserves highest marks in all themes. I noticed it's quite skill skill-dependent :)
That is so nice, thank you so much! I don't work in the game industry just yet but I sure hope I will! :D
Amazing game. Primary mechanic is fun, and the progression of more bullets, enemies, and an expanding room is a perfect increase in scale and difficulty. This is a super impressive entry.
Thanks! I'm glad you like how the game scales over time, it means a lot.
Very enjoyable! Great use of puzzle platforming action, really gets you thinking about bullet placement. The spritework and music are excellent and presentation is top notch. Bravo.
Thank you very much!
Great game, really enjoyed the time I had with it!
Amazing, definitely the best entry I've played thus far. Fast paced action but there is still room for a bit of strategy and longer term thinking. Clean, good looking graphics and animation.
Only, very minor, gripe I have is that the movement feels a bit unresponsive, for this type of game i'd like movement to be even snappier and faster.
Thank you so much, that means a lot!
Did you play the game on the browser? Technically the input should be instantaneous as I don't like unresponsive player characters, but maybe playing on a browser makes the game a bit slower, really sorry about that.
I love the game. Im bad at it but it feels its genuinely challenging. I love the concept and I love even better how you can make combos with past bullets! The game is really well polished and the many effects are just right and perfectly add to the overall game feel!
Definitely a highlight of this jam if not the best!
Woah, thank you so much, that means a lot! Working with your past bullets is the key to getting better, so it's great that you worked with that! The game is definitely hard though, how far did you go?
I got a score of 5
Yeah 5 is definitely where it gets crazier
liked the gameplay and the atmosphere of the game! keep grindin' king
Thank you friend!
I love this too much considering I'm so bad! The game is super polished and the screen shake, sound effects and flashes really add to the juice. Top notch game!
Thanks a ton! I do value game juice a lot, glad it didn't go unnoticed!
This is a quality jam game. It's incredibly addictive and wild. I usually try to provide some constructive criticism in my comments, but I can't really think of anything that stands out. This is just a well made, fun, and great looking game!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it, I really tried to polish the game a lot to make it fun and addictive.
Awesome game, really enjoyed playing it. Cool concept, matching theme. Gets strategic - got to like 5th/6th loop with single bullet :D Overall solid entry, good job!
Damn that's impressive, during my testing I don't even think I managed to beat loop 5 with a single bullet, I keep panicking and messing up when the Spikies enter the game.
What is your highscore?
Not sure, but I have got the splatoon palette unlocked.
That's should be fairly high, nice job!
Great use of the jam's theme! Really fun and addicting gameplay
Thank you, glad you think it's fun!
We're really impressed!! What a game 0.0! Very original gameplay. Great work team!
Team is just me ahah, thanks a ton! :D
So much better! Keep it up!
Incredibly original! I'm not very good at playing it, but loved the clear Downwell influence, room to get better and better at the game, and clear creativity. Great work!
Thank you very much! The game is pretty challenging so don't feel bad if you didn't go very far.
The gameplay is really fun, everything runs smoothly with no bugs. I love the art style and the originality! Swapping the color palettes was a really cool idea, especially for a gamejam focused on using only 2 colors at a time.
Well done!
