Nice theme, art, music, and gameplay! Really well made! :D This felt very reminiscent of Undertale's Undyne fight. As for improvements, perhaps some reasonable particle effects or screen animations would help make the game feel more intense. Also, I noticed that at one point the tentacles seemed to pop into existence (without any animation) and shoot a large volley of bullet, which felt a bit jarring since up to that point there was some anticipation in the animation. Overall, well done!

great premise! reminds me of undyne. i feel like the gameplay would've flowed better with more juice and perhaps keyboard controls and more juice. congratulations!

I really have nothing to say except that I loved every second of this and I want more. It's got that Super Hexagon feel where you just kind of go into "zen mode" and keep trying to do better. Love the art style too.

pretty hard and enjoyable.

One of my favorites in this jam! Everything goes together perfectly.

Really enjoyable to play. The switch up in premise is nice and simple and offers a nicely fresh take. Bloscking the projectiles also separates the concept from the battles in Undertale. I think this nailed the theme.

I like it. The visuals especially have a unique charm to them. The game itself reminds me of the Undyne boss battle in Undertale.

This is a well made game! I think the premise describes a rhythm game more than a bullet hell, but I enjoyed the game regardless.

This is definitely quite well-done and fun, even being essentially just one short level. It definitely gets fairly intense towards the end, though I was able to get through first try.
I do wish there were proper game over and victory screens instead of just restarting the game on victory and defeat, though.

Well done! Feels complete for the jam. Lack of "game-juice" but still nice.

Wow, really impressive entry. Sound design is amazing and the overall mood of the game is so great.

This game is great. It feels really amazing to play, espescially when there are lots of bullets coming towards you at once. The art style makes the action easy to understand while still being exciting and intense.

On the other hand the game is super challenging and very short, but i still give it 5 stars!

Not only is it an AMAZING game for a game jam, it is an AMAZING game in general.

I don't know how you managed to create a system to make that bullets sync to the music in just a weekend, but you doing that (or syncing it manually) made this game CRAZY GOOD.

Took me 3 tries to finish it, and I loved every second. If you make this a full game, I would love to buy it!

I was able beat it on my second try. Pretty cool little bullet hell.

Great art, great idea, exactly as frustrating as a normal bullet hell. 10/10 good job

Awesome game.. congrats...

This is amazing! Probably my favorite so far! It reminds me of the Undyne fight from Undertale. 

Just one suggestion: More screen shake when you get hit. Sometimes it's not clear enough. (and maybe a sound effect too)

Nice!  The animations are a really nice touch, giving you warning.
