Reverse MazeVery interesting concept and great execution! The difficulty curve is also very nice because the actions of the player literally influence how hard the game will be. Enjoyed this one a lot, good job on the game!

Squared AwayVery funny. Loved the fact that there is a leaderboard. This made me want to replay three times in a row! Congratulations on your game, fantastic team!

Server ShiftAgree on the leaderboard, it really makes you want to challenge the top 10 players!
Thank you for your time on our game, glad to see it's fun enough to make you want to replay them not once or twice, but thrice in a row! We're very happy to hear this <3
The team is definitely a bunch of not only talented, but also cooperative and open-minded people. Personally I feel very happy to have the chance to work alongside them!
Once again, thank you so much on your feedback and your time to leave a comment!
this is a unique take to the theme! congrats on making this!

Don't Invade Our Space!A well-executed game. The idea is intuitive to understand, but the twist of essentially being a walking target makes it novel. I particularly like the dual purpose upgrades served; they made it easier to take out hoards of enemies, but also made the arena more dangerous and pushed the game to a conclusion. Visuals were clear and controls were responsive. I don't know if the leaderboards at the end was smokes and mirrors or actual updated player scores, but it did nudge me to play the game a few more times. I enjoyed my time with this. Congrats on a job well done.
If there's one thing I would consider changing, it's how you word the game. To quote from the games page:
"Hordes of enemies are coming after you, and all you have is a turret. But it's shooting at you?!A twist on an arena shooter, where your gun shoots at you instead."
Reading that had me going in questioning whether or not this game hit the theme of Roles Reversed. Obviously it fits mechanically, as you are the target rather than a shooter. But this framing throws things off a bit. If this is my turret, and my goal is to take out enemies, then aren't I essentially playing the same role but in an unorthodox way?
I feel that the turret shouldn't be framed as your own. That you should be painted as someone invading a space instead of someone improvising a different way to do the same job. Obviously this is a very minor detail. It doesn't even make a mechanical difference. But minor details can add up, and simple framing can change how something feels.

Gotta Catch BotimanThanks for playing and telling us how you feel about our description.
We are glad that you enjoyed our game and really explained in detailed how it is in your own way. The leaderboards are actually real and a lot of players have gotten top 10 and have essentially beaten most of the devs highscores. Really appreciate that you enjoyed our game!
Reading your comment about our description, personally I think it makes sense and we will take this into consideration and will think of a better fitting description for our game. We will discuss internally with our team about this. Thanks for your comment and thanks for playing our game!
An interesting take on a bullet hell! It definitely feels weird being unable to shoot.

Timespace SequenceThe aesthetic, gameplay, and concept are all very well done. One of the best looking and feeling submissions I've played so far!

Dystopia Inc.What a blast! We enjoyed the art style and gameplay so much and had a lot of fun trying to get a higher score. Great job!!

Spacey Shoot-ShootThis game was great! Bullet hells are really fun and the trade off of the gun getting stronger but harder to dodge is great. The different upgrades also felt impactful and unique each time you get them, making it noticeably more difficult to dodge but easier to shoot down enemies. The aesthetic, sounds, and visuals are all amazing! The visual theming you used of like the 80s is really unique. This was an amazing game!
Appreciate your feedback on our game! We found out there wasn't much of the games using vaporwave style, so we thought "why not?" We art team was pretty much excited to challenge ourselves on this new territory and brainstorming on how to make this style work. Your positive feedback is very valuable to us <3
As a lover of bullet hell shooters and 80s vaporwave aesthetics, I couldn't resist trying it out.
I was impressed especially on the Music, SFX and VFX that blend perfectly with the fast-paced and clean gameplay.
I love the feeling of being able to redirect bullets by moving and using enemies as shields to destroy them, although I always struggled with the larger enemies after reaching 190 points, both due to the speed at which they were generated and their size and resilience (but I suppose it's just my lack of skill lol).
A little thing I would have appreciated is an on-screen score display during the game.
Well done! The game is fun and addicting, and I will continue to play and try to enter into leaderboard :)

Fruit MassacreAhh, I understand perfectly well when there's a game for something niche hahaha
Thank you for your feedback, and sharing with us about your gameplay experience! This vaporwave style was a first for our team. It was pretty rough early on, thinking about how to create that "vaporwave" feeling in our art and music, while still blending into the gameplay. But we were pretty determined to make this style work, and we wouldn't want to half-ass it.
The on-screen score display is a good idea, we'll discuss about it internally! Thank you for the suggestion <3
Once again thank you for your time and all the best on your gameplay! I'd love to see you on the leaderboard.
Cool game, so simple and yet so well made! Love that the power-ups are both a blessing and a curse. Well done!!!
