I suck at bullet hell games, but I liked this one nevertheless. The only critique I have is for the art - it doesn't really look that great, especially the UI and menu background. The game was fun tho

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Maybe you can tell what else is wrong? Except background and UI

Very fun to play against the unique bosses. This is a bullet hell game well executed

Developer

Thanks for playing!

The sound definitely fits the bullet hell game quite well. The patterns are nice and dodgeable, however, I felt my default cursor was not very visible and it was a bit hard to control. Generally, I think twin-stick games work better on a controller, but even a larger cursor when using a mouse and keyboard would help a bit. Overall nice game <3 I have not much to complain about, except the already mentioned null reference error that is really quite annoying.

Developer

Thanks for playing!

It's a good idea, make cursor contrast or bigger. Thanks!

Fun. I like the idea of having just boss battles.

When you die you have a NullReferenceException visible in the debug console, and you hav eto reload the game to play again.

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Yes, we know about this error and why he throwing. We'll repair this

I liked the concept though some more polish would've added a lot. Sound effects, screenshake, and post processing would've been helpful. Some difficulty modes or powerups could also be good additions. Overall it's a pretty nice game. I'd really appreciate it if you rated my game!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

We added bonuses and some skills later, so what about screenshake and post processing - it's good idea, we think about it, thanks you for idea!

And yes, we'll chech your game ^_^

Amazing audio on this one. Also the bullet hell is really nice, but very challenging and it would be nice to give player some variety in the weapons as it can get from fun and challenging to frustrating very fast :) I wasn' t able to beat all 3 bosses just the first one and the second about to 5% of health, but I did not have more energy to get back to it and try it again :D Great job on the entry!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing!

Yes, idea about some variety in the weapon is the good, we will think about how it can be implemented. And about last bosses and way to him - yes, it's hard to fast complete, when we added more gun or skills - it will be possible for all

The build which you shared is a development build so I see all the warning 

which you see in your console 

Good game!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Yes, we know about console problem, in desktop version does not have it

Very fun and challenge bullet hell game, my tactic in first round is hide behind pile of bone and easy clear :D solid game

Developer

Thanks for playing!

YES! At least someone saw this tactic !!!

The game definitely needs polish in UI ant artstyle. The 1st level was good looking but the last was way too green. The music was top notch! And the bullet patterns were also good. I saw it was a development build on webgl. With fixes, I can see enjoying it more. GoodJob!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing!
Yes, artsyle and color gamut will be corrected. Thanks!

Ok game :|

Thanks, you are better!

Nice bullet patterns... forces you to move. I played the Web version and after defeating (I think) the first boss a "console" popped up with a null reference exception. Was that meant to be part of the game? or a bug?  Lots of potential here with more levels, more weapons, etc.

Developer

Thank you!
Yeah, console is a bug. Due to time shortage we uploaded only the developer web version.  

Submitted(+1)

I think it would be better to allow player to start a fight second boss after defeating first 

Developer

Thanks for playing!
We made a full restart so that the players do not relax and remember, the further they go, the higher the stakes

Submitted(+1)

Some of the shooting patterns were really really good!

I thought the hitbox for the player would only be the head which is typical in a shmup game to have the hitbox smaller than the sprite.

The second boss felt like he has an insane amount of health so i think the difficulty scaling was a little too much for me.

Overall solid, well done!

Developer(+1)

Thanks!
Part of our command think that difficulty is too high too. We also tweaked control a bit, replacing clicking to holding LMB, making game actualy a lot easier. Sadlly we cannot upload an update right now :(

Great bullet hell game that gave me an arcade feel to it. Could use some sfx and I think you accidentally published a development build. Satisfying bullet patterns and difficulty level. Maybe give bosses less hp tho or introduce powerups. Overall fun gameplay and I enjoyed the game. 

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing and comment! 

In fact, yes, there should be bonuses in this game and, with this in mind, bosses are becoming simpler, but we did not decide to add them in a timely manner, therefore we did not add The development assembly turned out to be flooded by accident, for the first time we assembled a project in this format and made a mistake in the configuration. Will be a lesson for the futur

My finger hurts x) Like that you can't actually just stand still and dodge bullets -> Nice Bullet Patterns
Really needed the ability to just hold down the Mouse Button to shoot and give the bosses less hp please :c

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Yes, game can crush your finger:) And yes, we will add hold down mouse button after GameJam. Thanks!

The title screen and loading screen graphics were a bit blurry. Otherwise the game is pretty fun and chaotic

Submitted(+1)

The dodging is challenging and really hard, nearly chaotic. So it fits the theme well. Unfortunately I got some console errors.

Developer

Thanks for playing!
Yes, console errors will be small problem in gameplay, they are not in desktop version.
How long did it take to kill the bosses?:)
