Game's Take on the Theme
The game features spinning enemies and bullet patterns. However, I also have taken my art and cut it up and rotated different pieces to assemble it in new forms for bullets and such. I will continue doing such processes for the remainder of development. The game also features a lot of hue rotation. I am also rotating how I approach the devlopment of each stage. For the first stage I started by 3D modeling the enemies. For the second stage I am currently starting with the music production first. There are lots of things spinning and rotating throughout all aspects of development and gameplay.
Did your team make the majority of the art and music during the jam?
Yes

Rated! ;) This lovely bullet hell game deserves way more ratings!!!
The visuals are awesome, really well made, transmit a cool atmosphere, the game mechanics are cool and everything works fine, the boss fights are so intense, really hard but cool, the bullet patterns are really impressive, its such an achievment for this short time period. I rate graphics, control, fun and music tjhe most, but all is cool really, also, if you have some time, please, rate my game too, thanks!!!
Really nice experience, I like the atmosphere of the game and the patterns a lot! Once thing for me would be to change the player hurt box to a different colour from the bullets, just makes it easier for me to see. Great work man!
i love as a because i think it like so.... Good one!
Clarifying hitbox is important in Bullet hell-Shmup. This game understands that. Great job!
Would love to see an easy mode for this one t_t
I liked a lot !
I plan on implementing different modes once the jam is over! Thank you so much for playing!
Beautiful game. Too bad I suck at it, though! hahaha. I absolutely love the presentation, though!
Thank you! I plan on adding different modes including difficulty settings later on after the jam, so check back at some point! Thank you again for playing!
The visuals are stunning, the soundtrack is a total jam, and the bosses are cool, solid game.
Thank you so much! I appreciate that a lot.
Nice use of theme and good art. I've used similar theme check out my game as well.
Really nice game, a bit too hard for me but I think I'm just not cut out for preciusion bullet-hell
Really relaxing music and interesting visuals!
Thank you! I plan on adding difficulty modes later on after the jam, so check back at some point!

your mystery killer
I love that Pixel Art and the music, such a banger, the bosses are cool! This game overall is great!
simply frantic
Beautiful visuals, an all-around fun shmup experience, I think the small size of the bullets got a bit difficult to dodge after a while, but it didn't feel unfair! Well done :D
Thank you!
Any browser build or linux build? No windows here so cannot test it.
It works with proton/wine. Some people have had to force experimental proton to get it working though, so try that if the first proton version you try doesn't work. However, I haven't had any issues running it on regular wine out of the box. I'd recommend proton through adding it as a non-steam game though.
Really cool! Cant wait to see it finished!
Thank you so much! I’m glad you like it!
did you made this in 3 days?
Just about 3 days yeah. It's not done yet. I'm working on adding more bosses and such.
how do I play this game? It looks good. Goodluck!
There are instructions on the game page!
However, you can launch the .exe included in the zip file and press esc or press start to map your controls once the game has launched.
Thanks! I will play it tomorrow as it is late now in my time zone.
I played it! its a pretty good game especially since you made it in 3 days, you can put in some more work with the spare time though, to make it look better and add more features.
Yeah this is just up because the jam runners recommended submitting ahead of time. I’m still working on the game and will be throughout the rest of the jam! Thank you for playing!
ok! My game is going to be a 3d boss game where you kill behemoths to get stronger and fight stronger behemoths and the final behemoth to save the universe, or so you think.. There will be a twist at the end. Im also adding some cool effects to mine but im not sure if i can finish it in a month, I will just upload what I have done though, didnt make a single boss yet just working on the unique fighting mechanics you might have seen in a few games.
