This is a fun game with an interesting take on the theme! I think it feels a bit too punishing though, having to start over from the beginning instead of the last wave that you were on is demotivating, and a lack of iframes means that sometimes you die from one spread (especially if you've downgraded your speed). Screen shake or particles for more player feedback would have been nice too. Otherwise, I liked this game and concept!

I loved the visuals and the voice acting, and the attack and everything about the enemies was fun!

i didnt really like that i had to restart everytime i died and that you died so quick if you got close to the beefy enemies. also the game wa s a bit lifeless i would have loved to see more shake and particles. also i had your idea to begin with! but i ended up modifying it a bit! 

but fun game and i loved the idea

Really fun!

Cool concept. Despite being almost entirely gray and not to elaborate, the visuals are really good.

I was suggested your game from an other reviewer, because we basically had the same idea!

Obviously, I really liked your game! At first it seemed too hard but I kept trying and I almost beat it.

Here's some feedback:

• I liked a lot the visuals and the sounds
• I liked the attack patterns of the enemies
• hitboxes could be a little more forgiving
• starting is the hardest part since all enemies are alive and your spawn right in the center. Once you clear a couple of enemies and move to a better spot, it gets easier. So maybe I would fix this difficulty curve that has a big spike right at the beginning

Some of the critics I received may also apply to your game so I will leave them here:

• some users didn't like the fact that once you die you have to restart from the begging
• the game would benefit from iFrames after getting hit, to give the player the possibility to escape dangerous situations with only one damage
• this types of games greatly benefits from game juice (screen shake, particles..)
• Hard games should have difficulty options/mode to be more appealing in game jams

It's always nice to find a different implementation of the same idea! In the end, I think your game fits the theme more than mine ahaha

Good experience. I like how the narrative is done. I was starting to get a little bit frustrated at the beginning of the tutorial, then I got better.

Good post processing effect!

I like the game narrative. The mechanic and control are smooth. The art style is simple but gold. It was fun but too hard for me xd

Man do I suck at bullet hell, but at least I'm not alone (judging by the comments!) haha.

Nice art and style, super consistent which is great. I also liked the simple tutorial moment with the voice over, was an effective way of making me pay attention to the controls without being at all boring.

Could be nice to hear some more audio (music perhaps) to really fill out the space, and having a few different varients of the game over audio could be nice too.

Solid entry.

Finally beat it! It is a very difficult game but fun game to play. I was disappointed that there was nothing at the end though, not even another one of your sweet voicelines. The visuals and effects are great and the film effect makes this game really easy on the eyes. The sounds in this game is my favorite so far; they have a really tone. And your voice overs were a really nice touch.  Great entry!

Hello.

Now, I really want to beat this game. However, I will not. The first ones feel like more a test of patience. Then, I get one chance to beat them without anything. I obviously died, but I should at least get some kind of checkpoint. Felt very cheap. ( The worst thing is that there are waaaay more enemies on the "real fight" ). Game jam games really shouldn't be *this* hard IMO.

As a side note, screenshake would be nice. 

I also wish there was music.  

Getting back to back hits felt cheap. There should be some kind of invincibility frames.

This is what I can prove I got to:

Cool Game. I like the mechanics and art of the game. The speech audio was a really nice touch

"Relatively easy right?" No sir, this game is so hard and I keep trying again. If you wanted to have people get to the end of the game, I wouldn't have them restart completely after death. It was fun!

The concept and art style are really cool! You have to plan what you want to lose based on your playstyle, and I like that. But, restarting from the top is really harsh, any maybe randomize the layout of the obstacles in the level for more variety.

Good work, had a lot of fun!

Very cool game! I especially enjoyed the aesthetic. It looks like everything is made from stone.

Pretty cool game! i just wish that the level layouts would change or something to keep it new each time around. But a pretty good bullet hell game, good job!

It was a really fun bullet hell. I appreciated the barriers, which give some respite from the barrage of bullets.

Very fun! The ever increasing challenge made the levels not feel boring even if they were the same. The fact that you start over when you die though is a bit frustrating

Amazing game! Fits perfectly with the theme, I loved the art, the sounds,the narration and the enemies and stage design. Really fun and challenging.

I really liked your game. Beautiful art and a very good fit to the theme. The only thing I would criticize is the difficulty, it starts too high for me. Overal really cool game :)

It wouldn't load for me unfortunately  :-(
