Very enjoyable game! I love how you original the concept is and how it comes from the field your studying. Not only is it unique, but a fun and challenging game to play. Great work

Developer

thank you so much for playing my game! I appreciate all of that :)

Really fun game! I liked those arts and effects you have going on in your game! Also really like your approach to the theme! 

(P.S. If you're willing to I'd love it if you played and gave some feedback to my game! It's my first ever game jam and I'd love to see where I can improve!)

Submitted

I think its quite fun, i like the art and music as well.

At the end of that first boss when the screen is completely covered in bullets I'm not sure I died or won, it just went straight to the main menu again but i'm pretty sure i killed the boss first, I'm going to assume it's on me and i died.

Developer

you may have died! There’s a couple more bosses after that! Thanks for playing my game though!

Really interesting take on the theme! I really like the visuals and attack mechanic. When the screen is flooded with bullets the game becomes a real challenge. Well done! o/

Developer

Thank you so much for the kind comment! I appreciate you for taking the time to play my game :)

I like the visuals in this game a lot, the ray attack is quite cool, movement and overal mechanics are all nice, the bullet patterns are nice and avoidable, also makes the game really challenging when screen fills with bullets, really well made, I rate graphics, fun, control and everything on top, also, if you have some time, please, rate my game too, thanks!!!

Developer

thank you for the kind words! I’ll be sure to check out your game when I have the time!

I liked your entry but I found a couple things a little confusing and got a little messy. I’d suggest adding some visual feedback to know if the cursor is within range for an attack or not and some better way to show where you are aiming. I kept losing my cursor in the orange attacks of the first boss.

Developer

thank you! I do agree that things get messy and a different cursor would probably be much better, thanks for playing my game!

Nice game ! I like the visual and global atmosphere. Well done !

Developer

Thank you so much!

Nice fun simple game! Well done, I was able to beat the bosses, loved the range on the shock, cool VFX. Congrats on submission. Feel free to try our game if you like!

Developer(+1)

thanks for playing, I’ll check it out when I have some time today!!

Submitted

Right on!

I like the art and the sfx. Controls are simple and fun. Would've loved a dash mechanic tho as the first boss overwhelmed me with its projectiles.

Developer

here’s the thing actually, I cut the dash mechanic because I thought it was too op,  regardless of cooldown and whatnot, but I completely agree about the first boss being a bit too hard

Submitted(+1)

I really liked the bosses' abilities. I did get a bug where after the second boss, the camera went to the room with the third boss and I had to blindly find my way to the boss room. I was not able to get in because the boss blocked me I think or maybe an invisible wall was there since the boss fight had started. I think it might have happened because I ended the second boss fight in the hallway maybe idk. Wasn't a big deal and I still had fun winning the game!

Developer(+1)

thanks for letting me know about the bug! I had multiple people play test and that didn’t arise, but I’ll be sure to fix that! Thank you so much for playing my game and I’m glad you enjoyed!

Your pixel art style is great and also fun gameplay. 

Developer

Thank you so much!

I like the concept with the atoms and electrons and all that, and the retro theme is very well done, especially the audio work. I think this is a great accomplishment especially considering how limited your time was to work on it!

Developer

Thank you so much!

Creative take on the theme, I enjoyed playing :D It is nice to be able to return to the previous boss when you die, although the transition from death to main menu happens instantly and I ended up clicking on start game a couple times instead, as I was just attacking before hand haha :D The first boss started off easy until there were a billion bullets on the screen, made me laugh. Good job with the game!

This is such an amazing idea, using quantum spin for the theme is not only creative, but extremely interesting. All I really understand about this game is that a quark has spin and the first boss was probably radioactive, but now I'm curious as to what everything else is. The bosses were well thought out, I assume each have real world counterparts, and it was really fun to fight them.

Overall, REALLY great game!

Developer(+1)

I really appreciate this. If I had more time, I would’ve done more, so I’ll tell you what my premise was:


You’re an electron on an orbital with another electron, which is the first boss. Electrons can only have one quantum spin number if there are two on the same shell, thus when you killed it, you gain that spin.


Each ascending boss is a specific quark, with the second being a proton, and the last a neutron, due to being the biggest sized part!


I wanted to make a final boss which is a nucleus of an atom that has spin as well, because they actually do have spin! However, I’m a college student and I don’t have any time at all, so I couldn’t! Maybe I’ll make a final boss eventually, maybe if I win one of the categories I’ll keep working on it and put it on steam! Who knows!


thanks for playing, I’ll be sure to check out your game when I have the time to do so!

THAT IS A REALLY COOL PREMISE

Developer(+1)

I appreciate you for saying that!

Submitted

First game to make me go "the person who made this is a freak (complimentary)"

Artistically interesting,  while also being a curious game by itself. If dying didn't reset the game but send to a checkpoint before the boss, I'd probably want to play it to the end to see your world a bit more, but the world of gameplay is once more ruining the world of art.

Great job.

Developer (1 edit)

You can press load game to go back to the previous boss! Thank you for playing the game, hopefully you try it again now that you know that!

Submitted

HELL YEAH

Submitted

Developer

I compiled a soundtrack already and will add it to my page when it’s all over! I appreciate all the love! Can’t wait to check out your game later!

Liked the boss designs and the music, very cool attack and pixel art design!

Developer

thank you so much!

Nice variety of bosses, both visually and mechanically. The bullet hell on the first boss became a bit intense after I had lived for a while, since the missiles were moving slowly, I had almost no space on screen and just started tanking hits while desperately trying to finish off the boss. It was still a fun fight, though.

The characters look nice, the backgrounds cool, and the color palette was nice. There were SFX for everything I'd expect, which is nice. Finally, the music was quite good.

Cool game.

Developer(+1)

I really appreciate this review! This was the first time I’ve dedicated time to learning art and music, so I’m happy that it worked out well! I did get carried a bit away with the first boss, as it was actually the first boss I’ve ever made! Thanks again for playing!

Submitted(+1)

Really nice bullethell game, i suck at them so couldnt make it past the sheer amount of bullets in the first boss but thats a skill issue thing im sure haha, great art and take on the theme

Developer

thank you for playing my game! I may have done a smidge too much on the first boss tbh, but I appreciate it!

Good mechanic which kind of reminds me of organic chemisty class. Congrats.

Developer

thank you! In orgo right now actually !

Submitted(+1)

A fairly simple mechanic but the concept is not bad. The audio section is a bit "heavy". The visual section is cool. Congrats!

Developer

By heavy, do you mean loud? There’s audio settings if anything ever got too overwhelming! Thanks for taking the time to play and review!

Submitted(+1)

I think what is missing is "space" in the audio. Everything is very concentrated and you cannot hear everything in a way that is not intrusive to the ear:)
