Nice art style and implementation :)

Superb style, but it was hard at first

Loved the art style and idea in generam, the shooting sound can get a little annoying 

Submitted(+4)

Loved the music. It kinda hard at first because we're really slow. And sometimes, the abilities don't seem to stack. But it's a good rogue-like /bullet hell, recommanded!

Fun game, enjoyed the art style a lot. The ricochet mechanic was very cool

Really enjoyed this one! Great art, the core gameplay loop was simple yet enjoyable, and I enjoyed the feeling of becoming more powerful.

I think it may have made sense to make the player auto attack - I found myself spamming attack without any reason to delay the large majority of the game.

Great point!
The initial Idea was to make a mix between a pool game and a bullet hell. The players were supposed to use the aim to hit the enemies, avoiding their projectiles or using them to bounce and make the hit. But as we progress we saw that this idea was hard to balance and make it fun on a jam time.
Anyway, great feedback, thank you for playing =)

Immediately super fun, love how the challenge increases but my power level increased with it. Polished for a jam experience and love all the upgrades.  Nicely done!

Cool roguelike. Just wish the initial speed of the character was faster.

This, like exactly this, and also the ricotchet noise clips when its suddenly cut over itself, other then that really strong showing good job

Hahahah sorry guys, this was a discussion between the team.. 
Since it is really easy to get speed, it was supposed to start with you really slow and feel the game getting scale up as you progress, so i voted for disempower. I guess it was a little bit too much.
Thank you for your playing and sharing the feedback =)
