In what way does your game fit the theme?
Two enemies spawn for each enemy you kill, making things spiral out of control quickly.
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Everything but the music is mine.

Had fun with it. Well-polished and packaged experience!
Cool game!
Impressive as hell to make this in one week. 5/5 in all categories!
For the fact that this game has made within 7 days is really insane. The graphics and the game design is one of the best I have played so far. For me, we have the first winner right here!!!
Awesome game, I'm speechless
The Theme, Gameplay, and Visuals are great in this game! The fighting mechanics were unique and interesting. However, the game felt a little bit grindy. I recommend decreasing the amount of hits it takes to kill each enemy.
Nonetheless, this game was an amazing experience especially given the short development timespan.
Hard and fun! Laser killing enemies was a really neat detail
I love the art and I can definetely say that you are talented :D I liked that you added a story, since not many people would have taken the time to do so in such short time. I very much like the dash mechanic, but I would maybe try to make another form of attack as the dash kind of takes control away from the player. (Maybe a melee attack?) The dash might be a bit to powerful since it can basically be spammed in air at all times. So maybe increase the cooldown. I would also add some more game juice, since I didn't feel very satisfyed when killing enemies. Maybe try making the particles a little more visible. Overall for a game jam this is insane, I really like your game, good job!
PS: I hope you continue working on this game since I think it has massive potential :)
Here's my little essay on this masterpiece.
1. Game Design. The levels look really cool, the controls are perfect, and the game feels better and better the more you play it! 5/5
2.Fun. It was very exciting to avoid all the enemies and crush them to dust with those beautiful dashes! 5/5
3. Innovation. The dashes attack and moving was something very unusual and new to me. 4/5
4. Theme. The battles in the final level get absolutely insane and chaotic, to a point where it felt like I was just bathing in bullets and crunchy enemies. 5/5
5. Graphics. One of the best pixelart I've seen. The backgrounds are beautiful. The enemies are badass. And a magnificent main meny. 6/5
6. Audio. Good sound effects, the music fits well. 4/5
This is the ULTIMATELY BEST GAME I've played so far. Definitely will be playing all the future versions.
Best game in the game jam so far!
the art is great, really fun game, but I think it is a little bit hard, and I liked the dash mechanic
I really like the art , the gameplay is awesome but I think its a hard game 😂
Wow! your artstyle are very extreme and cool! check my game too
I love the artstyle and the controls are very fun, but it is too chaotic to understand sometimes. I like the cutscene in the beginning and the tutorial is also great. Also, i would make the game way easier, this is brutally difficult XD.
I hope the feedback helped you a bit, it would be nice if you could check out my submission too. Thanks! :)
Love the graphics and style, I can see the inspiration from some other games in there ;)
Very clean-looking game with wonderful 2d Sprites. The gameplay got old a little fast, but honestly, I had a good time :) (PS. New players, spam that dash mechanic!)
Very fun and cool :)
