An interesting take on a bullet hell where you're shotting bullets down rather than just trying to avoid them. The perspective felt a bit off, especially when trying to shoot the projectiles that were furthest away. But a cool idea executed quite well, that also looks quite good.

I love the low poly art style, I felt the pixel art portraits clashed slightly with the text and ui graphics but nothing terrible. I found myself wishing my bullets were bigger but just for the visual sake of it as aiming and destroying enemies is very intuitive. Nice work!

Forgotten KnightLove them theme/atmosphere! The music, 3d space, and dialogue boxes all come together effectively.
Accidentally kept holding down the shield so ran out and wished I could get some back, but glad you committed to keep it Limited
Fun experience, nice work :D

Drunken SprawlCool game! My only problem is that it runs kinda slow which usually happens for 3D projects. I really liked the graphics. Nice work!

Into The VoidOriginal implementation of the limited mechanic, I liked it. Kinda hard to avoid everything but enjoyable game. The dialogs may be a bit too fast for not native speakers but that's the only thing I can say hehe

Rythm TrappedThanks! Yeah, in hindsight it would have been good to extend the dialogue box timers, especially for the longer messages.
We were bouncing back and forth about the difficulty as well, though we made the choice of having it near impossible to avoid all bullets to fit the dire situation of defending against a powerful unknowable force.
Gave me the star fox vibe with the dialogs and the 3D look in general. At first, I got confused with how the shield works then I found out that it only blocks certain projectiles, not all the projectiles. Great choice of music too.

Bullet SurvivorI liked this game a lot. I'm a bit of a sucker for the setting of a crewed space ship (especially one modeled after a sea vessel). I like the idea of dragging out a limited amount of resources to just barely make it to the end. I had fun playing it- I just gotta say, I sometimes seriously felt like my bullets just weren't hitting where I was targeting. By the end I got used to just hovering my shots for a moment longer, but it needs something, since right now it ends up feeling like some sort of input delay or cursor misalignment.

LIMITED DEGGFENSEReally love the space setting for this one! Unfortunately I had a tough time playing it, I'm not sure if it was the depth perception or the controls but I felt like my bullets weren't connecting with the enemies despite my crosshair being directly on them. I think having some sort of visual response when the bullets connect would've been helpful. I enjoyed the visuals, nice work

Jo鈽匤o's Bizarre Hyperdodge Hell!!I enjoyed your game a lot - the aesthetics, the soundtrack, the way the guns shoot...
It's visually quite simple, but also very readable and dynamic. Didn't have much of an opportunity to look at the dialogue and portraits, but I think they look pretty neat too! And the gun is like a friggin' hose but with bullets, haha. It's really cool!
The shooting sound volume is just right and it's quite fitting without being intrusive. Allows me to enjoy the soundtrack - tense, spacey, very fitting and very much my jam ^^ especially the first track gives me some very pleasant FTL vibes. Good taste!
Only a couple nitpicks - when shooting down tankier enemies it wasn't easy to deduce how much HP they have left, and with the gun's spread it was sometimes hard to predict when they're going to die. Maybe change their damage tint to red when they're at 20% hp or so? Also, the beam attack felt a little underwhelming - some kind of particle effect when it hits the shield or ship would be nice. And when the second enemy mothership arrived - it'd make some sense if it also shot the player with its beam, imo.
Overall - I think the theme is a little forced, but every other part of the game I really enjoyed. Congrats on finishing the jam with such a solid submission! ^^

Perdition SphereInteresting concept and it's impressive that you created a 3D game. However, I found the gameplay mechanics to be unclear and confusing at first. Once I figured out how to aim properly, the game became more enjoyable. Overall, good job!
