The game is good. The colours match, and the card and boss art are nice, but I really wish the exchange mechanic was more prevalent. Right now, it's more like a shop. Maybe the boss could have cards of its own, and the two of you traded cards during the fight?
Yep that was the original idea - although it was too ambitious for me and I had to pivot once I realized how much time I had left.
Thanks for playing though! I will checks yours out too.
I like your mechanic with cards and exchange system. Well done!
Short and quick to play, the patterns used in here were easy to understand and dodge (but I missed having a clear point of refence for the hitbox of the ship, something similar to Z Warp). Visually it looks neat too!
Great game! Loved the music that fits very well with the attack sfx, its like a music of its own. Good job!
not a fan of the boss it feels so radome you dont feel like you get the patern of the atc but loved the cards use this again it is the best part
Well done but i dont understand where the energy comes from and some energy waves seems a little crowdy.
Short, simple, but good bullethell!
Nice Job!
I would have liked it to be a little more dynamic and frenetic.
But its funny
This game is really fun. I love the overall gameplay and using cards to upgrade your player is a great idea. Good Job.
I really like the art, it complements well to the game. I love bullet hell games and this is nicely done!
Really fun, and I liked the deckbuilding aspect. I had some issues with the bullet hell gameplay; it's hard to tell how large the ship's actual hitbox is, and some of the bullet patterns seem impossible to dodge even with agility upgrades. I think adding ways to get more cards or earn more energy would be a great way to expand on the game loop.
Wow, your game is so fun to play. I love it.
Cool design!
Thats an ok space shooter, the exchange mecanic is a bit weak IMO
Sometimes boss shoots unavoidable bullets patterns :(
Cool visuals and color palette :)
I really liked this gameplay loop!!So much so, I wish it were a tad longer! I think this idea has legs and could definitely be fleshed out into a fully fledged mobile game or something
That was fun! Almost like a mini "rogue like galaga"! Like the idea, like the execution. If you are developing this further it would be cool to see some more different attacks from the boss that aren't just bullet formations, but for a gamejam this worked perfect.
very fun game, the 30 second countdown saved me so many times and the upgrade directly after. great use for the them. loved it
Nice boss design with some really nice bullet patterns. Wish the game was longer.
Good game! I like the loop of battling briefly then picking an ability. The music and visuals are well done.
The boss fight is nice, I like how it let you upgrade and pick item mid fight, makes it feels like different phase.The visual and the music is nice . The UI animation is smooth. Tho the hitbox of the player is a bit hard to tell.
Anyways, nice game!
Veery enjoyable, the simple artstyle adds a nice style to the game and the music complements it well,Took me two runs to beat gorj.
A little thing that I wanna change would be that the sprite and the collidor of the player match, it was annyoing to try to guess whether the bombs will hit me or not and also some attacks are undodgeable but I guess that is alright in a bullet hell-esk game, Overall pretty good game I enjoyed it a lot.
