Love the artwork and animations, and the movement and dashing feel very smooth. I have a few recommendations for things that would improve the game. First of all, so many of the enemy types simply move towards and shoot at the player, this encourages a playstyle of constantly strafing in a circle and shooting at the center, whereas Bullet Hells are more about dodging through patterns of bullets. I would recommend making the enemies a little slower, or else stationary, and focusing on the patterns of bullets that they shoot. The enemies that appear later with the lazer lock-on are much more in line with bullet hell ideology, so I would lean into that direction. I would also recommend adding a cooldown indicator for the dash, as it was pretty unclear when it was usable again. And as others have pointed out, a background track will go a long way to up the ambiance. But overall, this is a great start! Really impressive for a first time game. Good work!
I like it! I think some music could spice up a bit but overall it was funny . Good job!
Fun game, I can't see how you put the theme in here but it was nice, maybe too easy to be called a bullethell. Also, when you die no end game menu pops so you have to alt f4, and a bg song would be good too. I enjoyed it overall ^^ great job
The wave 6 infinitely loops, right?
The game is pretty good, I like the visuals and the animations especially, the bullet speed and the movement speed feel right and then the gunplay feels good, the enemy variation is not exceptional but at very least the ones with the visible targetting are a pretty good variant. The speed of the different enemies appearing seems right too and the game also offers the right level of challenge, it's satisfying to deal with it.
Very cool and fun game, thanks for sharing.
Great job on your first game. I enjoyed playing it. Some of the enemies were pretty easy to dodge if you circle around the level, but overall fun
