Pretty fun game. I liked the squash and stretch on the player square, such a small effect but it goes a long way for game feel!

Submitted(+1)

fun game, feedback is i wish you were faster and had more HP, and maybe make the squash n stretch a bit more subtle

Nice game, unique concept, cool music and beautiful art! All a game needs!

Developer

neat concept! i'm pretty bad at bullet hells, (well, i don't think i ever played one to begin with...) but i managed to get to 300. not sure if that's good, but i think that's good enough for me. the speed is a bit too slow for me (maybe a run function would be nice as mentioned by someone else),  and the player going back to the center after colliding with a die did feel a bit confusing for me at first, but i think the game's still pretty cool! that, and the drum breaks were a nice touch too, very tense...

Developer

300's pretty good, the highest score so far is: 700. Yea, I'll add a run function if I update the game after the jam.

An amazing bullet hell, personaly I would've loved if the player was a bit faster and more responsive but I don't know if it was a design choice

Also how the screen shifts slightly whenever you move is a bit confusing, again I don't know if it was intentional

But a great and challenging game

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Yes, the speed and screen shift are intentional.

I guessed that much, but it isnt really a bad thing, just not my forte

Really cool game, the music, and art is good and the actual gameplay side of things is really fun. The only thing I noted when playing was I wished the restarting mechanic was a tad faster - other than that though I really enjoyed it.

Cool take on a bullet hell game! The music is nice. Some of the attack patterns are too hard to escape due to the player block speed. The restarting mechanic could be a bit faster too.

Submitted(+1)

Such a good concept!

Submitted(+1)

Nice and simple game, might have been better if the player is just a little bit faster than the bullets. Other than that, it was fun dodging around all of the bullet patterns.

Congrats on finishing the jam!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! When playtesting, I found it really hard to dodge bullets when in a high speed. If I do update the game after the jam, I'll probably add a run function.

Submitted(+1)

cool game! I don't know if this just me, but the spiral attack is really difficult to get around and I always ended up dying when it happened. Also, movement could be slightly faster, but other than that awesome game. Good luck! :)

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I spent a lot of time trying to get the attacks balanced and fair, turns out I'm just too good at bullet hells! haha. Jokes aside, I really should've added a life system so it's easier for other players.

i love how the main menu is a tutorial!
colors & effects are beautiful.
"dying/killing" is a bit uneventful :D

Submitted(+1)

Pretty fun! Love how everything is so fluid!

Developer

Really appreciate the nice words!

pretty decent bullet hell!

Submitted(+1)

Love the clean visual style and the way the character turns the way they are moving, it makes it really fun to dodge bullets!

Developer(+1)

Thanks! That's one of the things I'm most proud of.

Submitted(+1)

I really like this idea of a bullet hell where you don't shoot! The minimalist art style also makes this game very easy to read even with all the projectiles. I might think about making it so that the player can take a hit or two before dying. Maybe the player could get lives by destroying the dice?

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! I was going to add more lives but for some reason didn't lol.

Submitted(+1)

Fun!  I'm not into bullet hells, but  this looks nice, plays well, and has some pretty neat mechanics with the squeezing and speeding up when you're close to the target. Creative!

Submitted(+1)

Hahah love the Name! Great idea!

Developer
