really awesome game, doesnt feel like a game made in only 48 Hours at all! One small gripe is that if there is only 1 enemy left it can become a bit tedious to stand there waiting for the right color to show up, but apart from that: 5 Star rating all around :)

Exactly! It was also fun to realize the shape corolation

Very interesting concept paired with a very well done execution. The art is simple and cute,  the sounds are catchy (I can still hear it in my mind). I lost my time playing it.

When I understand the game rules, I see! I felt that. It’s an interesting idea to sacrifice your life to defeat your enemies. I like the graphics very much and I like games that have a slow time element.

Very very interesting idea, it is really something innovative and very nice execution too! And dashing on enemies is great!
I would have like an UI elements to see how many how each crystals I have on me to damage enemies!

Very interesting mechanics and looks great. Music goes well with the game. Nice game!

I love how the learning curve is introduced in the game, super easy to master it. The art is clean and simple, with a hint of lightning and post processing. Nice use of audio too. Overall really enjoyed it!

I have trouble aiming at the enemies with the dash attack, hope you expand the hit box in the future.

Amazing overall experience! The mechanics are very well introduced and the way it becomes more challenging is amazing, very fun and impressive.

Was a surprisingly challenging puzzle game when there was more than 1 enemy.

Trying to figure out who shot what bullet and and what bullet you need to be hit with gave it a frantic but calculated feel.

Though it was a bit too zoomed out for my taste and the player moved a bit too fast compared to the bullets making it even harder to get hit.

Other than that would be just some general polish like showing when you can dash, timestop duration, a few bugfixes(can dash through walls) and you got yourself a potentially marketable game

dope game homie me and my homies love to get the homies together and get off a monster with the homies so we get faded and play games with the homies i like the game a lot reminds me of minecraft when i used to play minecraft with the homies

Interesting idea... A bullet hell where you NEED to be shot!? Very cool! It was especially fun when facing multiple enemies. The not-fun part was waiting for RNG to bless you with the bullets you need.  

It's hard to understand at first. I thought something was wrong with the hit detection because I couldn't kill the enemies. The big blocks of text at the start was a little jarring, but doesn't get in the way of anything, which is good.

There's seems to be a cursed problem with having 1 heart left and an enemy alive with health... There's nothing to do but die? Maybe we need another way to recover health?

I like the speed of the character, the glowing visual atmosphere, and the puzzle-like nature of the bullet mechanics.

Good job overall!

Interesting idea and nice, simple pixel art!

Very cute little game and super well done. I like the retro style a lot and the control feels good.

Love the mechanics idea, had a lot of fun playing it and went all the way to the boss! The tunes are great, presentation and execution are very sleek. Well done!

Submitted(+1)

The idea of mechanics is very interesting! I think it has a good potential:)

Submitted(+1)

Super satisfying and well executed, I only wish there were more levels

Submitted(+1)

Great Game! The central mechanic was really interesting, and I had a great time dashing into enemies. The idea of differently shaped/coloured bullets was very cool and still made it a bullet-hell style game even with the idea being flipped on its head. Really outstanding job here!

Submitted(+1)

The shape mechanic is pretty interesting, timing when to get hit was the shape was fun!

Submitted(+1)

The bullet shapes mechanic is really fun! The art of the game also gives it good atmosphere. Overall, nice job!

Holy –– this is good. The 2nd level before the boss is really hard, but the boss was easier and way more fun. I recommend adding I-Frames during the boss battle, but this is a 5-star right here!
