31:11 Meteors are Murder (Cool Game)
Thanks so much for making a video on it. Its great to see that you were able to pick it up fairly easy, I just wish I made the boss a lower lvl so more people will see it haha :P
I feel you, my game is also too hard it seems to reach the fun areas!
OMG man.... This was fantastic. The intro art was ace, the sun flicking away was class.
I was hooked and I loved it.
Got some Hades vibes mind :D
Glad you enjoyed it! And yes Hades was a small inspiration :)
Incredible art, incredible music & sound design, funny story with a great interpretation of the theme, and very unique gameplay.
My only gripe is how the gameplay was implemented. Basic movement is very slow, and the dash feels kind of clunky to me. I wish there was more of a visual indicator of where you'd capture bullets, sometimes I feel like they ignored my orbit mode even though they went right past me. I don't mind having to run through the game with only two hearts, but it would be nice if there were checkpoints after each boss.
All in all though, this game is an absolute joy!

Thanks! LIke I said on discord I will try and see if I can edit this for slower runtimes.
Really cool art and music. Angling on grabbing the projectiles was a little tricky to get used to. Also it would be cool if the projectiles were more varied in behavior but maybe I just didn't get far enough.
Thanks! Yea thats fair enough I definitely want to spice it up with more enemy behaviours and variants now that the jam is over- I did have plans that all the bullet colors would do different things but sadly time restraints
really creative!
Ty!
Yes Yes and Yes. artwork music story fun to play. it has it all. really enjoy it. congratz.
Thanks a lot!
Awesome game, I really enjoyed playing it! Also it's very fun and has cool art.
It just took me a bit to understand how to orbit the bullets, maybe you could add some visuals for that? (like the orbit/area that pulls the bullets in).
Thank you! I will try and implement that
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MY MAN
clean 5 from me i need to be at someplace so just got til 6 but will replay and get the top of the leaderboard whoever has highest score yet reply here.
the game is afoot!
If you can beat 20 then you beat my score. If you can beat the boss at lvl16 then you "beat" the game as far as im concerned hehe. Thanks for playing!
It took me a bit to get the meteors to orbit, but then it was a lot of fun.
Very nice twist on the bullet hell genre!
Great art! And the controls feel tight

Cute game! I especially like the style of the intro. I do wish we were given a little more health to start though, 2 is rough when you're still trying to figure out controls.
True I wish I had given more hp now haha. I dont know why I thought to put it on hardcore mode lol
Love the concept!
I loved the concept and theme interpretation! Well done.
I loved the opening sequence, it gave me JoJo vibes! Super fun to play through, I liked that different enemies had to be defeated in different ways which made the gameplay interesting. It did take a while to figure out some of the mechanics though. Nice job guys!
Thanks for the review! And its just me working alone with some sourced sounds haha. I will check out yours now
the mechanic requires a lot of mastery, which I have no problem with, except that the level variation doesn't motivate me to get good enough at it to keep playing. I love the idea of danger being the solution.
Thanks for review! Yeah I can work on this post jam to make it a bit more spicy early on
Hard to figure out the game mechanic, and frustrating to start over after every death. But I really liked the graphics and the idea is great!
Thanks for the honest feedback. I have added something in the description to try and explain the grazing mechanic a little better :)
Awesome combat mechanic! Felt really fun to catch the enemy fire and shoot it back. And the dash is a nice touch for mobility. I had some issues where sometimes the projectiles wouldn't catch in my orbit, it felt a bit inconsistent. But once that's fixed up I'd love to play this game some more! So fun!
Thanks so much!
Really fun to play! it took a while to figure out you needed spin and get near things but not in front of them to get them to orbit. The level RNG is also really well done!
thanks! and yea, maybe i should make that clearer. thanks for sticking with it :D
