Really nice little game! I loved the hub abd the bosses.

Great game with interesting bosses and cool bow drawing mechanic featuring a nice soundtrack. Biggest drawbacks were slow moving and a bit too short invulnerable frames.

Amazing Game!! 

Very good mechanics as well as very fun to play, by far the best game submitted.

wow the mechanic is so polished ! Good work !! Nice boss !

Cool game! I like the potion system and that time freezes when you're selecting them. wish there was a way to cancel your arrow once you draw it but i liked the 3 power level mechanic of it

Very nice game! I will echo what someone else has said already. An interact icon over the npc's would be a great quality of life addition.  And it be great if the player either moved a bit faster or the dash was for greater distance to make it feel like you can really move around.

Great work otherwise!

The game overall is good, some quality of life changes would help a lot, for example adding a "press e" whenever you get close to a character or fully heal once you finish a boss would be great

The movement is kind of slow so it gets kind of hard to dodge things in time.. The bow drawing and firing is a cool feature though, and all of the upgrades for it! Good job!

I'm getting my ass kicked hard in this one (I'm bad at bullet hell games). 

One thing- I don't know if it's a feature, or it just works that way on my machine, but the dash range is tiny! 

Submitted

Cool, IMO it would be better if the arrow didn't draw automatically, but only if the player releases the fire button.
Also, the dash is way too small, and it takes too much to charge, would be better if it takes less to charge or if the distance is greater
