The visuals of the game was fantastic! The little cutscene at the beginning was a very nice added touch. The gameplay overall was a little on the easy side but typically arcade style games that only forces you to do one thing typically ends up just being a battle of how long will this hold my attention. I got a couple hundred points and decided to see what it was like to die in the game. The move speed is generous considering how slow the bullets were. I think eventually ramping up the player speed and the enemies bullet speed could increase the challenge for the player in a more engaging way rather than just increasing the amount of enemies on the screen. The music was decent and for how short of an experience it was, it was good. Sound effects were a little minimal. It would have been nice to see some more player feedback like when getting hit or even when you hit an enemy. That could have been some nice juiciness for the game! Overall, solid work, dude!

Nice game! Artstyle was nice, music was good if a little repetitive. I really like the game-play mechanic, and while I felt the game was a little further away from completely on the theme than some of the others I have played, I think it's a really unique mechanic for a top down game, and would love to see more of this game!

Developer

thanks!

Sorry I couldn't get the movement to work after refreshing a few times but the art looks great and the shield throwing mechanic looked cool! Wish I could play! 

Developer

D: I wish I knew what caused that movement bug. Thanks nonetheless!

A really cool gameplay concept, decent visuals and even a nice cutscene! Not sure how this fits within the theme.

Really fun little game you have here. I really like the concept of throwing your shield away to attack. As a bullet hell kinda game, I think the hitbox of the player could be just a tiny bit smaller to be a bit less punishing, and the movement be controllable, as going fast and slow. I think that the audio is a little disturbing as well, but it feels like its intended, so I'm not nitpicking at that. Other than that, it's a really fun game, great shot!

Developer

thanks!

Nice game! Main character is too slow, I think. It's hard to maneuver.

Developer

Thank you! The reason for the slow character is to make it harder to survive without your shield, but yeah it might be too slow

Great idea! Good implementation! But the player moves lil too slow.

Developer

Thanks! The reason of that is because if the player was fast it would make you much stronger without your shield. Thank you for the feedback nonetheless!

In my opinion, the player moves a little slowly.
Otherwise, I really like this game.
