How does your game fit the theme?
When I heard Calm before the storm, I thought of bullet hells. This is because at the start, bullet hells are simple and easy but as time progresses, they slowly increase in difficult.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I made some assets myself and some I got online. I made sure to credit the assets I got online. I mostly wrote the code myself but I used YouTube videos for things like knockback and player movement etc and also other sites like Godot documentation.

This little game was very fun :D
I liked the visuals and the guns, but I prefer the base one since it can shoot through the enemies and I like the difference between those 2.
The songs are good and fit with the vibe of the game, but I would like a little bit louder since I like more volume of the song than the sfx haha.
My high score was this
And I manage to get out of the map :D
To replicate this, you just need to stay still in the right corner and let an enemy hit you, for some reason it can be hard to move once it hit you or feels a bit like glue, but once it hits you, it won’t make you damage until you move again so this way the enemy pushes you through the map and in some parts of the tree wall there are gaps and you can get out from the cage.
You can do it in more places but here it’s easy since the enemies at the start come more from other sides.
But I still had fun playing this little game, good game ^^

Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it. Yeah I should've added some kind of settings for the music and game volume. Will keep that in mind for the future. Also nice score. My highest was 2200.
I was actually hoping that no one would be able to find out that you get out of the map hahahaha. I let my sister playtest for a bit and she just let the enemies push her out of the map lol and yes The enemies stick on to you so that their comrades can come and gang up on you. I probably should've mentioned that somewhere. Thanks for checking out my game.
I appreciate the feedback thank you. Yeah I might've made it too easy at the start. I didn't want things to get too difficult too fast and with only a limited amount of time, I couldn't optimise the difficulty that much. I probably should've done some play testing beforehand. Ah well, you live and you learn. Thanks for checking out the game :)
Thank you so much for the feedback. I'm so glad that all that hard work did not go to waste. Yeah I had the same issue with a lot of bullet hells where it gets crazy difficult too fast and there's much going on so I decided to make my own. This is my first official Game Jam and I'm really glad you liked my submission. Thanks again for the feedback :)
I actually did not use any shaders, I used mostly animations and particles. I actually can't write in that shader language lol so I found other ways to do things like when the enemies are hit I changed the modulate of the enemies to a slightly different shade of the original colour and then I reset it back to the original colour of the enemy, so it creates this flashing effect. One way I managed to decrease lag was that I added a visibility notifier node to the bullets. With this node, I can say that every time a bullet goes offscreen then get_tree.queue_free() to delete it. This way, the game won't lag as much. I made this game in Godot btw.

thank you :) I appreciate your feedback. Yeah I had a whole plan to include more enemies, powerups and difficulty modes but I only had an hour left before the jam ended. Thanks again for trying it out!!
Hey man thanks for the feedback. Yeah I was gonna add settings to control music and sound effects but I ran out of time and didn't get to implement some other stuff. If you turn your volume up, you'll be able to hear the music. I didn't want to destroy people's ears so I decreased the db. Your suggestions are noted. Thanks again :)
also this was my first official game jam after learning Godot for 5 months so I was a little ambitious
