It was hard, but fits the concept of a bullet hell very well! Noticed that the sound of effects stacked up to a very loud volume if there were a lot of enemies. Good job overall 👍

intresting game man, i liked it

The sense of flying is important IMHO with the way ennemies fly at you,

you can do simple scrolling with just horizontal bars passing by in the background.

Explosion for ennemies would give more satisfaction (vector circle, simple white noise sound).

For the boss, enery bar or sound to signify damage would be great!

The essentials are there, pretty interesting patterns ;)

Tough bullet hell i got crushed. Good start!

Very nice game, really like the simple and clean graphics, the game booting you right back as soon as you die does gave me a boost to keep trying, but barely got 50k at the end. Really nice work.

Old school hard game! Love the simplicity of it and the gameplay result of the variety of bullet patters.

Pretty nice retro style game! Simple yet engaging bullet patterns.

Since all the enemies have the same sprite, it’s very difficult to differentiate ones that take a single hit to kill and others that require more shots. But other than that I had fun while playing!

Was real difficult going through some waves though it was fun,  however the audio gets annoying quickly.

Hard, but fun! The movement feels very tight.

This a fun little game. Even though it is simple, this game has its own charm. I also really appreciated the focus button.

I love retro games. Your game is a little bit too hard and bullets are too fast for me to complete the game. Can you tell me how much time it takes to finish all the patterns?

Developer(+1)

Hey, thanks for playing! Whole game takes about 90 seconds, the last pattern is a little easier if you focus on destroying leftmost enemy first while destroying enemies spawning from the left side of the screen.

Hey, this game has a great retro vibe! The simple graphics and high score challenge are really engaging. Actually surprised me how smooth the controls were. (and the framerate?)

Developer

Thank you! FPS is locked at 60. Player's position is changed using constant linear velocity set with arrow keys.

Cool concept. Very nice patterns of bullet - it's quite hard but i like it. :D I missed some music there, but overall very simple and very good project.

Thank you!
