Wow, really a nice game, I just struggle with it. If I had time I would have definitely try to complete it, I really liked the game mechanics!

What I liked:

Movement is super tight and responsive the best way I can put this was I felt like my movements were precise but not floaty.

Gun options are cool but was wishing for more maybe I didn't see it because I couldn't get far enough?

Music and art style was well executed nothing felt out of place.

Story premise was simple and I thought it was a good addition to drive the player to play.

Minimap looked good on par with games like enter the gungeon or binding of issac.

What I wanted:

I wish this game was a bit easier for me, maybe I am not skilled enough to do well in this game but I think the enemy always knowing where you are made things super tough. I was using the shotgun/musket mostly and they still took 3 shots to kill an enemy. 

Gun swapping to bound to scroll wheel instead of a key.

More gun options (Could be there I couldn't get past a sword room)

Overall this game has great potential to be something more and needs more polish to bring to a more fully fledged game.

The Hunt Beyond Realms is an interesting story-driven bullet hell with narrative choices and fun mechanics similar to that of a roguelike. The ability to change weapon loadout was fun, and the controls/movement felt solid. It had lovely sprite animations and fun characters, with enemies paired with good variation in bullet patterns. The sound design was lovely as well!

I was having issues with the Shop not allowing me to purchase any upgrades. I progressed into the second stage without them, but kept dying a bunch haha. 

I enjoyed the concept overall! Great job to the both of you on your submission!

I really liked the vision of this game, invested in the story for sure. But was quite challenging, a lot of fun once I figured it out
