This is a very good game, I like that at some point I started to shoot all over the place as a defensive strategy.

Good job!

Really fun to play! It might be interesting to have obstacles in the center of the level then you could use the walls to shoot enemies on the other side.

That's a great idea! I'm for sure going to re-do this game after the jam and try and flesh it out a little more

I really liked this! The risk/reward concept with more bullets in the arena worked really well. One problem I usually have with games in this genre is that there's no good reason not to be constantly spamming the shoot button, but in this game there's a real reason to switch between shooting and not shooting. Really well-done!

I beat it! This is a concept that just works super well for heaps of reasons. I really like all the implicit advantages and disadvantages to having more bullets on screen, and making them act as your score multiplier was legit the most genius idea to make the most of that mechanic. Really cool arcade shooter, as a full game with a bunch of upgrades and enemies and content I'd totally pay for this.

Thanks for the kind words! I definitely want to change some aspects and try and explore this idea more in a full game post jam!

Awesome concept! Really love the idea of making the game harder for you to gain more multiplier. 

The art-style didn't resonate with me that much - but gameplay is very solid!

Great bullet hell and dodging. The shooting doesn’t target my mouse correctly?

Might be a bug, haven't experienced that personally so I'm not sure what the problem might be. Sorry about that!

zinGa - Elzinga GamesSubmitted4 years ago

No problem, since the bullets bounce I just kept dodging and the bullets would kill them. :P The real enemy is your own bullet ^^

This is a really cool idea. You weren't joking about the difficulty, but maybe a slightly smaller cooldown between shots at the start would make it a bit more manageable
