Awesome game, fitting the theme amazing! The graphics and difficulty reminded me of something like hyper light drifter. The high risk-reward mechanic really made it feel exciting. The only thing I missed during playtime was some form of mini-map. Due to the minimalistic design, it was hard to differentiate between different area's already visited or not. Amazing work, this could be fitted into a full game I believe!

Balloon to the top!A very fun little game!
The core mecanic works really well and brings good layers of depth to the gameplay, forcing you to always shift between offense and recover.
I especially like the minimalist yet very effective artstyle :) The shooting animations are sooo juicy haha
Cheers on congrats on the game !
Well done

PygoscelisWow, very cool game! The minimalistic art and gameplay fit perfectly within the jam's theme. Really enjoyed your SFX and music as well! I was a little confused at the first part when it forced me to right click to reload health/ammo. I did that, but guess it required me to fill the bars all the way. I eventually figured it out, but got hung up on that simple task for some reason. Everything else felt very smooth and quite fun! Good work!
Would appreciate you checking out my game too!

60 Seconds or LessReally beautiful art and good music but it's really different experience to play a bullet hell game without spamming bullets.

Maze of the Neglected Trianglereally nice color scheme and a beautiful metroidvania game to explore, but keep in mind that the browser version lags, not sure if the download does tho, anyways this was quite a refreshing and calm experience well at least until the enemies show up, but still calm. I will totally see this as a full game with this really smart main mechanic well done.

PerspectivesI guess this is the best game I have played in this Jam so far.
I like the SFX, they come along with the graphics - minimalistic but great. The colors are beautiful as well and the way we charge the power and destroy things, it is satisfying.
Congratulations!

MultipLessI'll start off by saying this is probably my favourite game of the jam.
I love the simple minimalist art style, along with the aesthetic and the music of the of the game as it creates a really nice atmosphere.
I really liked the enemies as well, they were all pretty distinct and their attacks were just the right speed that dodging them was possible but you could still get hit if you aren't paying attention enough, so if you get hit it's the players fault rather than it be some bullshit fast projectile. It would've been cool to see three different bosses but seeing as it is a jam I honestly can't complain as I think the boss in the game is designed really well.
What elevates this above other games where 'less health does more damage' is that the health and damage is linked to ammo. I think this is good because it dynamically changes the playstyle of the player from offensive to evasive depending on how much ammo they have. Overall, a great idea and execution of the jam's theme.
One question I have though is that I noticed that there was two sort of cross hairs, the small diamond one and the big rotating square one. Would your attack do more damage if the diamond was inside the square or am I imagining things?
Once again, I really enjoyed this game, five stars all round. It would be cool to see it expanded to add more puzzles and mechanic that build upon what you've made here. Amazing job!

A Scullion's SchemeThis is just out right mind blowing. The minimalist art just plays so well with the game! Loved the innovative idea and the mechanics. This game is definitely worth expanding. Keep up the amazing work!

Wizard BoonThis is incredible! I've seen a lot of other games try the "Less health more damage" idea but this is by far the best I've played. I love the way you tie health, damage, and ammo together. Maybe a dash and faster pace gameplay could make it more fun. This visuals are also simple and stylized. Great Job!
