This game is awesome and deserves more attention. The art is amazing, the sound design is on point, and the gameplay is super fun. It’s a really good and complete gameb! If I had to give some feedback, I’d say the final boss could be a bit harder. The game itself isn’t too difficult, and that’s totally fine, it’s a lot of fun as it is. But the final boss felt easier than the others, which was a little disappointing since it looks so cool and intimidating with its huge size. Still, it’s an awesome game, great submission!

So beautiful! I loved everything about how your game is made, all the harmony with the styles, I had so much fun playing it! Congratulations on this incredible game!

I loved the anime/mega man vibe it had, I loved the art!

The story is great and made me want to finish the game from the first moment.

I think the scenes and the music are what I enjoyed the most. The gameplay was the culmination of the fight for humanity!

I would like to see more of this game in the future! :D

A genuine 5 stars all across the board, I cannot express just how much I adored playing this game from start to finish. The aesthetic was perfect, the narrative was immediately gripping, the combat felt so clean, the difficulty was just right where it wasn't too easy but it wasn't too difficult to get discouraging. Learning the boss patterns felt so gratifying, and on my winning attempts for all 3 fights I was able to win without taking any damage because of how well the bosses were designed. My own single critique is that I would've appreciated the ability to skip the intros to fights just to get back in the groove quicker, but that's a very minor thing in an otherwise flawless entry. Can't sing this game's praises enough

I'm thrilled that you managed to develop the lore and story dialogues while visualizing them so stylishly! I love the design, direction, and especially the music. The core idea is great, and its execution is top-notch!

One improvement could be adding temporary invincibility after taking damage (to prevent dying from a single wave of projectiles) and slightly refining movement by adding small dashes—often, I found myself unable to slip between attacks.

But overall, this is an excellent game, especially for a jam! Great job!

Everything from the lore to the characters is superbly crafted and put together cohesively. I love the color palette used and the boss designs. Only slight nitpick is that I would appreciate some short invulnerability if I get hit; you can take 3-4 hits from bullets in one go if you whiff a move. I really enjoyed this hidden gem and it deserves lots of recognition for all the hard work and care put into its aesthetic!

Very clean and polished I feel like we had similar ideas when it comes to controls. Using holding click to charge up a dash attack with 3 levels ahah. The art, and story are great for this feels like a full game! Amazing work if this doesnt make top 30 I'll be suprised!

This is hands down one of the best entries I've seen on here, from the stylish presentation with gorgeous pixel art characters, to the colors used, and the music? Good lord the music just fits. And on top of all of what I already mentioned, the gameplay is just so freaking fun, I feel like I'm controlling a gigantic beyblade ramming the opponent senselessly. This game is incredible!!

Awesome game! Loved the story, art, and sound design. Got me jamming all the way through! Character design and story was a plus too.

Great integration of the theme, amazing sounds/music and I loved the visuals! I do wish there was a more reliable way to move around because it is really hard to play and not take damage

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! I’m glad you liked what you saw. I see what you mean about the movement, I’ve added some tips on the game page to help with that in the future.
