really easy to pick up and play nice game , missed some music but nice job !
This is so cool!
I love how you have to move your character with your mouse but not your keyboard, so we're basically dodging cursors with our cursors :D
Also the cursor pattern design is pretty awesome, pretty challenging and also not too hard for someone who's new to bullet hell(like me).
I really like that the cursor is the player. Also the fact that you're a virus makes it hilarious, and the patterns are very well designed.
I liked the background visuals and moving the player using the cursor was very unique. The cages kept the player mostly confined, but also allowed the player to move locations if need be, which I liked. I noticed that I could move behind the timer/score area, maybe this should be prevented? A simple and creative game!
Yeah, you can go behind it. I didn't prevent the player from going there because you generally wouldn't want to do that, it's a bad idea to do it because you don't see where you're going and you don't see the bullets.
If I ever update this game that would be one of the first things to work on though, it can be confusing, especially if you somehow end up behind it accidentally.
I love this! Its so unique! THE VIRUS HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
Wow, that art + the patterns really created this cool zen feeling XD.
Pretty cool this one, but yeah, some sounds would have been a nice addition, maybe it was becuase of time?
I'm glad you liked it!
At first I was going to add some music but I didn't have much time so I tried random music but it was bad so in the end I just didn't add music. Same with a few sounds, I was going to add a sound for when you dodge a bullet that passed really close (like grazing in touhou games) but I still had to make the Title screen (I didn't use any game engine so that took a day or so) and fix some issues.
Also I probably spent too much time with the text to speech that tells you the score.
The patterns were mesmerizing!
Nice visuals and concept for the game! A solid idea for the theme that worked well with the game, I liked that you could slightly manipulate the area you're confined to before the cursors close in. One minor issue was that sometimes cursors are unavoidable. Some music would have added to the experience as well. Overall a great effort and a solid take on the theme!
Thanks for commenting and giving detailed feedback, I appreciate it!
A fun idea to play as a virus! The confined-theme was used here in a simple but effective way. In future updates, I'd add some SFX and maybe some other objective than just staying alive, maybe you could go on the offensive and try to corrupt some files or something :)
That would actually be a great idea! I could try to see if I could implement that at some point
Good patterns, perfectly in theme
It felt like swimming in a warm sea, a nice and calming feeling. Should you expand on the game in the future I can imagine a really nice, relaxing type of bullet hell where you can meditate while dodging lots of bullets with your mouse
Thank you for playing!
To be honest I didn't think this game would be relaxing but I get it, it shoots lots of bullets but it's not as chaotic (variable speed, multiple types of bullets, etc.)
Also after the jam I'll eventually add more patterns and improve some parts of the game (probably)
It's a really interesting game! The bullet patterns were interesting, and the intrusive cages really made you stay in one place to dodge bullets. The cages came too often though, and made you simply camp in one spot non-stop. Lack of music really hurts too. The visuals and patterns of the bullets is really satisfying though. Great job!
Was a fun game to play, truly it was a cursor hell, interesting patterns and nice use of theme
:o
I really enjoyed playing this game. So creative but also so chaotic. My whole screen was filled with bullets! Definitely a 5/5. Well done!
Thank you for playing and i'm glad you liked it!
