Cool shooter, it somehow reminds me of Gyruss.

It took some time to get used to the rotation of the hamster wheel stage, but at some point it just clicks and feels natural ¦3

Battles did not feel very well balanced, with very little actual fight and a lot of waiting in between while trying to move the giant hitbox out of obstacles that appear anywhere on the screen.

Attack patterns are great, and I love that I have to learn them the hard way, which makes them feel rightfully dangerous.

Visuals and sounds are clean, great job at polishing!

Dig Deeper caught my eye due to the amount of polish I saw from the thumbnail, itch page and screenshots.

Immediately when launching the game I was pleased to see that this was true! From the art, audio, and gameplay feel the game was a joy to experience. My particularly favorite part was the character portraits on the UI, I wish there were more backstory on those weird circle guys!

As for the gameplay, the thing that stuck out to me was that the tank's hitbox felt too big. I really wanted to weave between the bullets but I felt way too fat. Maybe im missing some kind mechanic..

The reload mechanic was neat since it made me have to strategically plan when I took my attention off the bullets to the reload spin. Kind of a funny parallel there... changing focus from bullets that harm you to bullets that help you.

My final note, it was hard to play on browser since when you die the exit button is right in the middle of the screen when I would click to shoot bullets. I kept accidently freezing the game by dying and then clicking exit on accident.

Good job on this jam! You guys definitely should be proud.

Nice Game!

Visual are really good, distinct art style but it was still very clear to see what was going on the entire time. I never felt that I was lost about where I was, nor where the enemy was.

I loved the little rotational parallax going on in the background, that was a nice little touch. Although I wish that I got a little bit more visual feedback throughout the game. It was unclear when I was actually damaging the boss unless I was listening for the specific sound that they play when they take damage. It would have been nice to get some sort of hit confirmation, in the form of a flash or something else  to tell me that I was hitting the right spot. Same for when the player gets hit, sometimes I would die and I didn't even realize that I had been hit at all in the first place.

I really love the Boss Design for this game too, the way that the phases were very distinct from each other was nice, and the little transitionary phase where they attack but cannot be damaged was also a great way to break up  the boss fights. I think my personal favorite boss was the second one, although it does feel like a massive spike in difficulty from the first boss.

Great Job especially in use of theme and the visuals.

I really love how you utilized spin in the perspective for this. I had a lot of fun going back to what felt like my Heavy Weapon days.

Ordinarily I really enjoy the active reload mechanic, and I would have here, but I feel like the keybinding was a bit troublesome. I found myself only really reloading when I was going left because my finger was already on D if I was going right and needed a reload.
