Beautiful panels that set up a very nice story, but the game play was a bit unclear. Like which entity I needed to attack, and where to go after I did was not marked.

The sprites in the 3D world work quite well aesthetically, even when some of them rotated so that I couldn't see them (the bats I couldn't see sometimes). Some more lights/particles/feedback would be good to know how effective my attack is against the enemies and bosses.

It also took me a moment to realize what bosses were (or the objectives enemies?), since they were blended into the level.

Thanks for playing! We appreciate the feedback. We plan to update the game by giving the bosses AI and attacks which should hopefully make them more obvious and more of a threat. The deadline had us cut a lot more than we were expecting, so I hope you'll give it another shot when we update it

I tried to play the game on Linux with Wine but unfortunately couldn’t start, got just black screen, sorry!

I also tried playing this game on Windows but it doesn’t start at all. The error says that I’m missing a tbb.dll file.

I've never seen that issue before, I changed some settings and uploaded a new build hopefully that fixes it. From what I found online you could be missing the Microsoft visual C++ or DirectX necessary to run it

Cool concepts, nice artwork too. I hope you can carry on with this one.

Really interesting entry and take on bullet hell. I liked the introductory story with the mysterious traveler. The gameplay itself seemed fairly rough though, so hopefully you can flesh it out a bit more. I think some things like having the character rotate to face the direction they move along with making the bosses not be stationary and defenseless would go a long way towards making it more engaging to play.

I'm glad you liked the story! We definitely plan to flesh the bosses out in the future, we just ran out of time unfortunately

The art style and drawings are fantastic! I really like the idea of cosmic horror wolves. It's a shame you didn't get the bullet hell mechanic into the game within the jam time. This is a great start for a bigger game.
