Judge feedback

- I think this is a fun idea that's kind of held back by some design decisions. With how the enemies behave and your options for dealing with them, it feels like this would be a fun frenetic action type of game, but with how slow your character moves and how vibe-y all the music and stuff is it feels more like a chill physics game, leaving it somewhere in the middle. I think if the player moved as fast as the dash is all the time or maybe if there were more barricades to ricochet shots off of in the level, it would raise the fun factor a lot. As it stands though, I think you have a really solid foundation that with a little clearer direction could expand into a cool game
- Juicy. I liked the audio, the ambience and the pulsing shapes.
Did you work alone, or as part of a group? (If in a group, list their names)

I used a bunch of kenney sound effects

Nice chill game, although, for a game a chill as this, it's a bit on the difficult side.
Aesthetically very pleasing, the music, audio effects, graphics and particle effects all blend together very well. A little difficult too quickly for me personally but fun to play.
I loved the overall aesthetic and the sounds effects but I think it should have been easier at the beginning, just to understand how to move
Thanks for the feedback! I'll probably add some sort of level system after the jam to ease players into the game more
Very smooth and enjoyable game!
Thanks!
A little difficult but overall, a good core game loop. It's fun to just move around and bash the circles.
Thanks for the feedback! will definitely fine tune the difficulty once the jam is over
Overall presentation is solid. I wish the game started a little slower so I had a chance to figure out things like how enemies can just be killed with the shield bash before being overwhelmed with enemies. Game is fun once you get over that part of the difficulty curve, tho. Nice job!
Thanks for the feedback! I didn't have the chance to playtest the game with other people that much so I ended up balancing the game around my knowledge and skill of the game, still thinking of ways to get that slow ramp up while still keeping a higher pace and I'll probably change it after the jam
A simple concept that fits the theme perfectly. After 20 seconds it becomes very difficult.
Thanks for the feedback! I'll probably try to make a better difficulty system after the jam
Really fun and engaging, good use of theme. Everything looks great though I got a weird little audio bug after the first death, the sound for hitting the bullets away and bashing enemies had reverb, like the game was in the slomo mode. But I refreshed and it fixed it Good game though all around seriously
Thanks! I probably know what's causing the bug so I'll fix that up after the jam
