I gave 4.5/5 so I am sticking with this! Really good game though
Hey there, I am trying to get other to re-submit their reviews for my game if possible...it was deleted and removed from the Jam on accident based on a technicality which was solved between the Jam Host and a particular asset used in the game...please if you have time, energy, and/or generosity to re-saved your ratings/reviews for the game. I am going through and re-saving yours given my browser kept your rating saved data on my end...but it looks like I lost all 73 reviews and ratings from my end.... :( best of luck to you in the Jam
Sorry for the inconvenience if you have a chance to rate/re-rate
This is a fun game
Short and sweet (it took me around 2 minutes to finish) Strong visual design. Clever implementation of the theme. I think it makes the bullet hell part more cerebral since I need to think what is the best dash angle to get the most bullets. I think that with more content this could be a great commercial product. Great work, and best of luck!
Wow, the visual design on this is so consistent and well-thought through! And the core 'hp = ammo' mechanic is used really effectively. But most importantly, it just feels AWESOME to play! So juicy and responsive! Great work!
I really like the visuals and the mini-story you had going on. I think the exchange mechanic is really cool. I’m glad to see that you will make the game harder if you work on it in the future, because it does feel like you can just blindly dash anywhere without being punished right now.
This game was really fun. Good Job. I loved the visuals. I had a lot of fun playing this game.
If you are interested, could you please play my game. I would really appreciate it.
This is awesome - well done! Music and art/style was perfect and the command line dialogue was great!
Very fun game, I'm a sucker for jesters so I loved the design for the hope boss. A nitpick of mine is that it was a bit too easy to spam dash and stay alive 99% of the time as well as getting a full blood bar in the process. The game might even benefit from being sped up? Seeing the slightly sped up gif on this page makes me feel like the game being quicker would make for more high energy and frantic gameplay. This game was a treat nonetheless, I would not mind at all seeing more of this game in the future. :)
This was most excellent. I liked the art style quite a bit, as well as the music and sounds used. The movement was also really fluid and nice and I liked how punchy the character's attack felt. The bosses were well put together and I liked the way they fit the game's narrative. I also quite liked the dash mechanic and felt like it was a good fit for this jam's theme.
My only notes would be that a short tutorial would have probably made the game mechanics easier to understand before being dropped into the first boss. Oh, and I wish the game were longer. I had a lot of fun, so it was a shame it ended so soon!
This is a small, incredible masterpiece. Super game, very polished, great art and music, took me a while to understand the dash mechanic but after that the game was pretty easy. I need more!
Really fun to play! Was following the project from start of the jam and was a pleasantly surprised when saw as the last boss previously first - FAITH) Great use of theme and bosses were really cool and distinguishable from one another! UI is top notch and i only want to play more!
SUPERRR POLISHED(way more than my game) there are only 4 bosses and i beat them pretty quickly so i was just left wanting MORE(but thats a good thing!!), good job not overscoping unlike me haha
This game is really good. The theme is very good. The images are simple and stylish. Great boss design My game with yours is quite similar in regards to exchanging blood for bullets. 5/5!!
I'd love for you to try my game and give me some suggestions if you're interested.
This is an excellent entry! Super fun to play, and a great use of the theme. Nice job!
Best use of the theme for me so far, I like the computer style intro/showing the next boss name, the difficulty feels perfect, the way you make so you cant shoot with 2 hp remaining really helps, good job !
Very nicework!
It's fun, dynamic, cool art style.
It's a good game. I like it.
I beat it! I love the overall game play and the simple mouse controls paired with the bullet collecting was really fun. Good work!
My hope was destroyed. I had patience to destroy the wicked creature set forth upon me, but it ended up killing my faith in myself. Perhaps the lesson here is that it can only kill this things if I let it. Great program launch sequence!
The gameplay are simple but fun, I like the dashing regain health and health for bullet mechanics. The arts looks simple but nice, and the bosses looks cool. The music are nice too.
Tho since I tried this game when you can still shoot till 1hp left, so this feel a bit too easy than for me, but its fine.
Anyways, cool game!
Cool game with some bloody awesome mechanics, probably was a bit on the easier side for my but that's so people like me can beat the game as well. :D
