It was a cool game! I like that it's unique! Being able to see player health or have a tutorial is nice, but it was still fun!
The art is absolutely incredible! Very very fun game I enjoyed it a lot. A little more juice would've been nice for this jam, but all in all a great experience!
Incredible art, Really loved the look of everything. I think the game was great, incredible job!
i like the art and the unique approach for the theme for the game. Definitely agree it could be juicier but it was smooth and not a bad experience at all. Really liked the shift power too!
Nice game and interesting theme! feels like a bullethell game sometime xp
It would be nice to have some camera shakes when player got hit, it's really easy to accomplish with cinemachine in unity
Also I lost track of where my cursor is after a while and always accidentally click outside of the game window xD, it would be nice too to have a larger cursor sprite xD
I didn't know what cinemachine was before, but I'll be sure to include it in my future projects! Thanks so much for the suggestion!
And yeah custom cursors aren't too difficult to make and I see how they could be nice ahaha. I'll keep that in mind for next time!
We all learning! xD
Hey, cool game! Great audio and nice visuals. Great job!
I appreciate starting with a homing bullet shot as player ^^
I got the "you won" screen even though I didn't defeat all enemies of the last stage. Another small suggestion would be working on the juicyness a bit more.
Other than that, pretty nice and I like the soundtrack, too.
I made the final wave super difficult (I think?) but compensated by making the game give you the win screen once the song finished playing, so that's why you got the "you won" screen there. And I'm totally there with you on the juicyness, that was definitely one of the things I had to rush due to time!
This game is a solid bullethell game with great soundtrack. This is good! :)
I like the idea of having two types of projectiles, one that requires aim, and the one that tracks enemies, it allows to keep doing damage when you are focused on dodging, but still rewards aiming.
I wish there was a bit more juice, mainly for when enemies take damage, it would make the game feel way more satisfying. It feels quite balanced, the difficulty is right (for my skill level at least), but it is not rewarding enough to shoot enemies.
Yup, that's exactly what I had in mind with the shooting!
Yeah, I didn't have too much time to make the juice exactly what I wanted, but I'm happy with what I got, even if it ould be a lot more over the top =)
Glad the difficulty felt good!
good: visuals are unique, sounds is great , ennemies are great, the bullet hell is great and optimized.
to research: add other mechanic different from shooting. i mean
Shooting is in there! Just use Left Mouse Button =)
Interesting. I made few games and probably there are too much bullets ahah Art and sounds, especially when you shoot, are cool :)
It's interesting, but i think there is too much balls. It's a little too dificult. Audio and visual are very good!
Yeah, I based it off of Touhou which I can beat in Lunatic depending on the game, so I'm not surprised if the balancing was a bit much ^^
Glad you liked the audio and visuals!
Fun game! I really like the art style it's very unique!!
A very relaxing game, totally different from all the other entries which I really like. Everything here is pretty abstract and I can see the direction you're wanting to take with this game that I can really appreciate, definitely unique but I'd still recommend more visual feedback and some light juice just to make everything feel better. Other than that, great job on creating this beautiful game in such a short amount of time!
The idea is cool, the enemies are interesting, but unfortunately I did not notice any kickback when hitting the enemy/us
I couldn't find the life bar, it's hard to navigate without it. I won this game with a weird bug - I just walked off the map. good game, but not finished
Character design was really cool!
I love the player character art so much, it's really unique and interesting and I fell in love with it. I enjoy the gameplay, this serene bullet hell, but it definitely feels unfinished. It would be nice to have some more feedback when I am hitting an enemy, perhaps an animation or them being knocked back, and having some UI or indication of what my health is at would be very useful. But other than those, which I can only assume are mostly because of the time limit and the lack of polish, I really enjoyed this and would love to see this game made fuller because I want to play more.
I agree with Rihards that this is a very calm and relaxing bullet hell game! Though I do have to add, having some visual feedback for the player with regards to health as well as wether or not an enemy is hurt would be pretty nice. That and having a menu UI and a way to restart the game. Other than that, major congrats to you for doing the art, programming and design all by yourself in one week. Really impressed!
A very pleasant audiovisual experience! Very calming for a bullethell game! 😄
The game is great, not joking! I just love to shoot everything and all I found a bug but I'm gonna ignore the bug(if you are interested the bug was that I can get out of the map and then the game was a lot easier but I got back on the map), just a few things I would've improved or if you wanna keep working on the game I think should be added: first, fix the resolution! the art is good but I think you need to fix the resolution cuz it looks a bit pixely idk... second, Idk if it is just me, but the shooting in the game is not 100% right I think, I'm pretty sure only the yellow shooting weren't actually shooting but that's ok the game is still fun and I love the game!
I would love it if you can check my game and rate it as well!
Aaaaa thank you so much, that's super great to hear!
And don't worry, I plan on getting to all the games eventually, so expect a review and rating once your game pops up on the game randomizer =)
