I value the insights and guidance you provide. Can we also play Bullet Echo Game with these features included there, I might think it may have.

I really enjoyed the game, but im unsure if i like the mechanic of shooting with arrow keys.
I think you should also have added multiple kinds of bullets, at least visually to have some variance in bullets. otherwise great game!

This is absolutely my favorite game of the jam!! It looks amazing, sounds amazing and feels amazing, I could totally see this as a full game with a price tag! The way you fused the music and the gameplay was just awesome! My only criticisms would be that it felt a little too hard (but that's probably just personal preference), I wanted more feedback on the slow down time thing and I wasn't sure if I should have been shooting at all the enemies or not. But those are just insignificant things, this is really awesome, well done!!

Fun game with minimalist graphics!! Music is outstanding and fits the theme very well. All in all, very enjoyable, but very very hard!!

You just nailed what you were looking for! This game is a great, which had a bit of Just Shapes & Beats feeling (but that can only be a plus). :P The music is great the graphics are fitting.

However there are some stuff that I would like different. Since the game has a rating system, I think the hidden HP isn't needed. Instead, I would use a "if you take too much damage in a certain time, you die". For example, if you took 5 hits in a second, that is a death, but if you took 2 hits and then 3 other after 10 seconds, you wouldn't die.
Secondly, the shooting feels a bit off... Shooting in different directions with the arrow keys instead of mouse feels intuitive, especially when you need to shoot accurately. So I switched to a controller, but sadly I could still only shoot in the 8 direction... Which was a bit annoying. I would recommend using 360° aim with the controller, and mouse shooting with the keyboard. Or actually, a bit of auto-aim could have fixed this issue.

Overall, this is a great game, I really enjoyed playing it; a great submission. :)

Trust me, I tried to do 360°  shooting with the controller, but I added the controller support way to late, and I couldn't figure out the maths for it. Thanks for playing and the feedback tho!

THIS GAME! THE TUTORIAL IS SO GOOD! THE MUSIC IS SO GOOD! THE MECHANICS AND THE MOVEMENT ARE SO SMOOTH! Its so much fun! I beat every level. Such a  great game! I followed you, I am excited to see what else you made for future jams! Surprisingly, the third level was easier than the second.
