Now that's a true bullet HELL! Can become impossible very quickly if you're not careful. Great idea, simple yet decent visuals. However, having some sounds or at music would make it a lot better.

Nice entry with solid controls and easy to get into, 

just too bad you didn't have time for sounds and music :( but no problem the deadline was tight afterall.

I enjoyed the pace, my only issue gameplay wise is that you seem to be able to run into your own bullets sometimes.

Good job regardless :)

Decent game! With this concept I think you can transfer it to many themes and pair it with better visuals. Had some fun with this one!

Creative, sound would be perfect xd!

Had fun with this one, good work! Audio would be a nice add but the game was still pretty great, very interesting concept.

This is really creative. A game that only becomes bullet hell if you don't manage your bullets well. And uses the 10 second theme to keep the difficulty up. Great game! Would be a ton better with sfx, though.

it felt a little strange at first, the bullets kill the enemies but dont disappear and still damage you, but i get the theme of the game to really think when and where to shoot. i miss some music and sfx

Nice game, it can get pretty chaotic at a certain point. Just wish there was some audio to add it as well. Some things to note:

- When the bullet fires, I can sometimes get damaged by walking forward into the bullet accidentally. I would suggest that you only make the bullet start to damage the player once it loops through the stage;

- I didn't understand at first what I had to do, thought the star was an enemy, just by reading the game's description I realized that you have to collect it. Try adding some visual feedback such as a light to make it more evident;

- Some hit feedback on the enemies would be nice. Visual and sounds can really enhance the experience.

Overall, keep it up!

Minimalistic, but well-programmed, and nice idea of having the player creating their own (bullet) hell. :)
