Hellix's itch.io pageGame's Take on the Theme
We made a bullet hell about summoning circles that are constantly spinning!
Did your team make the majority of the art and music during the jam?
Yes.

I liked the atmosphere, vfx and music! Sometimes it’s slightly hard to see the character but liked the vfx and lighting!

Spin OverloadI really enjoyed the last two bosses, I died multiple times but kept going until I finally won. It took me a while to realize that the only way to die was by staying in the darkness for too long, and I didn’t notice any differences in the activation runes. The music is fantastic, and the game is fun, but it could use some polish, especially regarding the screen/camera size, as it was hard to see during the final fight, and possibly the player's size and hitbox.

WANTED: Bosses' BountyGreat art, atmosphere, and lore. Felt like a full game with the intro and the vibe it has going. Mechanics are interesting!

Super AquamiauForgive me for having to put it this way, but
>can barely see where I am
>screen gets darker when I'm hit too much, making it even harder to see where I am and where the projectiles are
This shit.. is so ass...
HOWEVER your game was engaging enough that I wanted to play it to the end, despite this asinine constraint. I liked the concept very much, a bullet hell with sigils to seal and sinful souls to sanctify
Gold and Purple bosses were really good. I liked how the purple boss punishes you if you seal from outside to inside, as the final phase bullets are too intense for that closed environment. You can go the whole game going out-in, but the final boss basically demanding you go in-out makes it really differentiate itself from the other bosses.
Hitting sigils with divine thunder while bullet helling is a great concept, and the songs were pretty fun too. The camera was a sin, but gameplay, the sound design and enemy design was very good. I'm happy you made this game.
this is a really cool concept, the hitboxes are too big and you can't fit through a lot of projectile patterns that it feels like you should be able to, also the boss spawn cutscene repeating every time is a bit rough. very good game though, the dash feels great.

The Spinning WheelTested the web build, so I can not say anything about the Wwise integration.
Theme is implemented and part of the game loop which is nice.
I like the VFX and also in animations in general. The walk animation looks a bit odd as it does not really match the movement speed, or so it seems.
Audio seems nice too.
Could not figure out what the differend runes do, but it does not matter too much as it seems, the push back of the 2nd boss when it fires the tripple shot seems a bit too harsh tho. Was missing one rune on the last boss but could not clearly see which one before I perished.
Could need some more tweaks and visual feedback (i.e. position of the player in the perish zone, better visualization of cleared runes).
You should add the fullscreen button for the web build. You do not have to build a new version, it is just a checkmark when you edit the game page on itch. You can still edit the page, you just can not upload new builds.

SpinRussHey thanks for the review! Totally agree with what your saying, losing the player off the edges of the screen is one of the big things I wish we had time to fix! That and a little banishers manual with all the runes and what they do.
I checked out your game also and it was a lot of fun, thanks for taking the time to stop by!
Visuals do not blend good together. I laughed when i saw first boss. It does not feel like bullet hell. There is a hell alright, but not bullet. Projectiles are too slow. There is no fun. Animations are too harsh.
