Woah, those visuals are really neat! It's minimalist, but there's a lot of nice effects and cool feedbacks. It also goes really well with the audio. Congrats for such pleasants visuals!
The game is also really satisfying to play. The progression feels great, it quickly becomes fast paced and challenging, and the swapping mechanics adds a very interesting spiciness. At some point the game became laggy, with egular freezes and audio issues, probably due to a large fire rate (I guess those particles come at a cost :p). Needless to say, things were getting crazy.^^' It was very fun overall!
Played on stream! See the video for timestamp.
Really nice and polished, I somehow had my fire rate drop to almost nothing once but it was a very enjoyable game!
Look fantastics! After 3 or so fire rate upgrades you're unstoppable kill machine, except for the moment the game freezes :D
Interesting concept! The visuals is phenomenal and got me so hooked! It's very charming and pleasing to the eye!
The visuals, UI, etc were all great. The game had nice polish and feel. Sometimes the chance felt a bit broken (Most of the time I just lost the ability to shoot at all), though I guess that is sort of funny and interesting.
love this visual！！！
I like the presentation, sounds, music, and the helpful text. Not sure I captured the essence of the theme though. Maybe because it takes a while for the enemies to show up at first and then to level up enough to see the stats change...Overall, fun presentation
Excellent sound design and visuals, the gameplay is also quite fun. I don't think it fits the theme very well. Also I think I broke it by upgrading my damage and firerate a ton.
Thanks for the feedback!
Quality game! Felt really polished! I felt the gameplay was a bit simple but I liked the stat swapping mechanic.
I am glad you enjoyed it! Wish I would have had a bit more time to add a bit of extra gameplay. Maybe different enemy types or some different weapons or something.

Loved watching the stream! Thanks for the feedback!
Nice game! I didn't realize that I was able to move at first, and the way the game progressed confused me a bit; but it was very fun to play and both looked and sounded really pleasant! Goodluck in the jam!
It can be a bit confusing (: Thank you for playing!
Very polished game and nice concept! I love it!
Thank you for playing!
Ultra polished and a neat concept to boot, great stuff!
I am glad you enjoyed it!
so pretty... great game!!
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing this on my twitch stream!
Great job on the visual presentation, everything was so crisp and clean and moved beautifully. I was so excited when some stats switched and gave me a broken build. but then I flew too close to the sun, the stats switched again and I lost it all.
Lightbound giveth, and Lightbound taketh away.
That you for streaming it I enjoyed watching the chaos!
Thank you for making this, awesome entry ! Was a joy to play it on my twitch stream. Just a few small remarks for example, a randomized pitch for the bullet shots would make the repetitiveness of the audio drop drastically. The graphics are simple but VERY efficient ! Thank you so much :D
Thank you for playing super useful to hear your feedback!
Thanks for submitting your game to the stream! If you wanted to look at the vod again in the future here it is timestamped to your game
Thank you for playing!
This game was hilarious. It was one of the best executed development I've seen so far ; it was flushed out and fun to play! Had bugs, but that added to the experience! Good Job!
Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it!
The game was so much fun! Very easy at the beginning, then I knew I was completely doomed ahah
Amazing job! Thanks for the game
Thank you for playing!
