Nice graphics and fulfills the task. Kinda addictive game, great job!

Love the retro style and the feeling you get when playing it! And on top of that, who doesn't love a bullet hell type game???

Submitted

Love the retro style! Gameplay might feel better if you move the fire button to a key rather than the mouse.

Submitted

A great take on a classic format. Well done!

Submitted

The style really carries the game as it is a classic that most have probably played before. Movement felt a bit weird as it felt like sideways movement was coated in honey with a delay but vertical movement didn't have any of that. The upgrades sometimes didn't hit even after figuring out you could reach a cap on them. Also no clue how the boss is supposed to be killed as he just kept floating around for a long time.

loved this been awhile since ive played a bullet hell game
well executed nice work man!
how do you beat the boss ;-;

Awesome game. Love the art style!

Submitted

This was so fun to play! It reminds me of games I used to play as a kid. I love the color palette you used for this game :D

Submitted

I really liked the vertical shoot 'em up. The ghost mode to avoid the worst of the bullets was great. I wish there was some indication of the boss health, I was sure if I was even hurting it. Fun game!

Submitted

good idea, I'll play after the jam

Submitted

Really fun game! The combination of the ghost mode and laser upgrades were a good match - I also loved the graphics and music, everything came together really well!

Submitted

The movement was very much not what I was expecting, so I found the game a bit difficult to play in some scenarios, but the background art is really pretty! I want it as my wallpaper lol.

a simple and effective retro shooter , i played it many times during the jam until i managed to do a perfect no-hit no ghost mode  run , your game is kinda addictive .

Altough , i couldn't make diagonal movements so it was a little frustrating sometimes .
