This game was super fun! Only criticism would be to potentially add a dash mechanic but maybe I'm just used to bullet hells having dashes. Great job :)

Great entry! The progression is well designed and it looks quite polished too. My only nitpick would be to put a small description of the upgrades when choosing one, it wasn't too clear to me what sniper would do until I picked it and saw the bullets piercing through enemies.

Certainly one the most fun games I rated so far in the jam. The gameplay is tight and satisfying, speacialy because of the weapon upgrades. I also really liked the bosses. 

As for some little nitpicks, I would remove the recoil from shooting and make the enemy sound effects a little less... harsh? I don't know if this was a problem in my end, but I thought they were a little harsh.

Overall, great work! Congrats :)

I super like how it looks and feels! Well done!

Some notes:

  • the recoil makes the second boss super hard
  • would be nice if the theme changed a little more for the bosses
  • controller support would be sweet, but maybe I just don’t know how to hook up my controller to it?
    • either way, this definitely feels like a game that would benefit a lot from using a controller for aiming
    • I spent most of my time trying to figure out where my cursor was
  • overall, really fun game! I found myself having reminding myself it wasn’t a full game that was fully balanced
  • on that note, I’m not sure the different weapons have the same bullets per second, which seems like that’s most of what matters?

I showed this game to a friend and realized he had the same confusion with how to select a weapon that I did.
I think it would make more sense to select a weapon by firing at the button instead of running into it.
And clarifying on what I was saying about bullets per second, why would you ever pick the “double” instead of the minigun unless one or the other has more bullets per second?

This was a lot of fun to play! The visuals and sound is nicely done and the gameplay feels really great.

Fun and challenging game (or maybe I just suck at it). Love the boss battles.

Cool game, I love the shotgun upgread

A really really fun and satisfying game ! I really enjoy stacking up the upgrades. I also love the sound design but I feel like the sounds and the music are not well balanced. It's really a minor inconvenience when you're completely overstimulated by bullets on the screen though x)
