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.

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.
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.
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!
liked the gameplay and the atmosphere of the game! keep grindin' king
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!
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!
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!
