The personal touch to the visuals is great! It needs a bit more juice and effects, but overall, i think it's an original idea that has a lot of potential

VICTORY

The game works pretty well, I really like jam games which are entirely based on an original mechanic, that's the right place to do that. I like the rythm and the fitting beat music, had fun destroying the ship using the mirror ability (did not immediately think about it) and the difficulty was exactly as I wanted it to be at the moment so I enjoyed my time playing.

I think sometimes an enemy is out of range, happened a couple of times with an enemy in middle top and middle bottom.

That's a cool entry, thanks for sharing.

Developer

Thank you very much!
Yeah, the ship is especially weak to the mirror ability, nice work finding this out!

Yes, there was a big problem with the aiming progress. I think it was fixed already but I have to wait until the end of the voting phase to update my game here. :) 

Thank you for your critics!

Very charming, the hand-drawn portraits are amazing, playing this by yourself is a doozy at first, but it is fun once you get used to it. It would be nice to have a life bar and feedback if the player is getting hit, but overall good job!

Nice game! I like the drawings! But there seems to be a pretty big bug, the bullets inherit the rotation of the shooter, causing them to teleport around, probably because they are children of the shooter! it makes it really difficult to aim. You have a nice and creative idea, nice job!

Developer

Thank you!
Sadly I could really work on the game in the last days so I ran out of time to fix this rotation bug. I hope it was not a big inconvenience and I will most definitely fix it after the review phase! :3

I really liked that you can shoot in 8 directions , I had to think to defend and shoot. REally nice idea!

Developer(+1)

Thank you, I thought this would be a creative gameplay to not avoid the bullets but to deflect or absorb them with a shield.

Hey!

Really nice concept of the game. Like really handdrawings, was they made by you?

As some feedback maybe spinning attack should have a bit lower cd and some timer after use, to now where i can used it again? 

Great that you participate! Great job :D

Hi!

Thank you for trying out my game! I have made the art and assets myself, I thought I will try to make a "no imports" game.

Thank you for your feedback on the spinning attack cooldown. I also want to improve the game by introducing some kind of feedback to show the player that their special abilities are reset.

Neat little game, was quite straightforward and seemed to get by mashing 'W' then 'D' over and over. Always appreciate the 'ol faithful pencil and paper assets

Developer

Thank you very much!

Well your hand drawn art art got me to download which I normally dont do. I got a little confused but could see you managed to put lots of ideas in there.

Developer

Thank you very much!
If you have any ideas how could I improve the game later on I would be grateful!
