I had a blast playing this game (pun defenitly intended) I feel like the bullet should have a maximum number of reflections and maybe the bullet should disappear when you finish the wave because when you choose an upgrade you can get hurt by your bullets! other than that it was a ton of fun ! congrats on this one :)

I like how charming are the slimes and the gameplay is fun.
Reflection is the primary mechanic on the game and is implemented well.
The UI for dash is not good. It doesn't pop out when it available and not easily noticeable that its still on cool down. I recommend using some bright colour popup and some scale increase tween when its available.

Very fun gameplay :D but you should force the player to run around, maybe collect coins or something, because i managed to cheese the whole game mechanic of beeing careful, by standing in the corner and shooting at that angle like in the screenshot

At one point the game just crashed because of one gazillion spawned projectiles :D
All in all a good game. Well done :)

Pretty fun and polished game! I like the risk-reward tension of shooting, that bullets do more damage after bouncing, and that the bullets go really fast after while. I thought the dual pistols would be very dangerous to myself because most slimes have an odd amount of health, but it didn’t really matter as a 3-health slime would eat 4 bullets if the last 2 hit at the same time… which seemed a bit weird to me. It got a bit repetitive without much variation outside of “numbers go up”, but what’s there is very well made. Nice entry!

Nice game! Had a lot of fun with this one. I'd say the bullets being able to hit the player is currently a little too punishing. I found myself being way too careful with my bullets instead of utilising the reflection mechanic to take out slimes. I'm thinking possibly a lifetime limit on the bullets could be a nice addition, so that they aren't bouncing around forever until they hit something. This was especially an issue when the round was over and I was trying to dodge the bullets and choose an upgrade at the same time. Otherwise, I love the game's concept and gameplay, I see a lot of potential in it. The art style is also super clean and consistent throughout the game. Great submission!

Great! A lot of fun.

Great polish and execution! It's a super cool tweak to bullet hell formula that completely flips the normal "shoot as much as possible" behaviour on its head.

I'm not usually a bullet hell fan, but I really enjoyed the way you played with the theme and became a threat to yourself and your enemies. Made me think twice before firing like a mad man (I did still do that and suffered for it lol). Great fun, nice job on this one!

Omg, it was so fun! The game where you fear yourself more than your enemies :D I really liked how you made your bullets hit you, but without making it completely overwhelming - it's nice trying to dodge your own stuff :D I hated (in a good way) that you are even rashed to pick up the upgrades because you can die while you do it, since your bullets keep rolling :D Great submission, I'd give it 6 stars for fun :D

I got to 326330. Does that 12th wave ever end? Lol. Had a lot of fun playing this one. Love that the bouncing bullets can either be a blessing or a curse. Great work! Congrats on the submission.

Definitely had fun playing this! I liked the dash mechanic and that you were able to upgrade between waves. The music is a total bop!

The fact that you can shoot yourself make the game interresting and fun.  The upgrade phase is really a threat when you have bullet around. Also not a big issue but the dash could probably also have a keybind on the RightClicks of the mouse. For player like me who play with arrow key i found it a little difficult to use shift or space.

I love me some good bullet-hell! We had similar ideas with the reflections theme :)

I think it would be nice if the bullets were paused while choosing an upgrade but I can see leaving it the way it is for difficulty.

Great job!! :)

I really loved that you could shoot yourself. I personally love mechanics that let you mess up and make you stop and think about how you approach something. Your first instinct is like, hell yeah, guns blazing, but that will basically be a death sentence.

Simple, good fun and I really loved that the art was simple but stylish and very clear to parse and understand. It was helpful as the chaos levels ratcheted up. Great stuff :)

I enjoyed my run, and reading over the comments my experience seems to have a lot in common with others here.  To add on two notes I haven't seen yet:

• For the middle portion of the game I regretted taking the second gun upgrade.  When the enemy density is low you tend to want to shoot exactly the right amount of bullets, but since most of the slimes take an odd number of bullets to kill (not accounting for extra ricochet damage), you can't do that perfectly anymore.  Similarly I avoided the fire speed upgrades for too long for the same reason, and ended up regretting it towards the end when waves got denser
• I noticed that when standing near a wall I could sometimes have one of the two guns fire bullets that act as if they have already ricocheted once, maybe because the gun starts behind the wall and the bullet passing the wall to enter the gameplay region counts as a hit?

Overall though I had a good time here, you did great work!

I enjoyed doing a run with this game. The wave dynamics are well-organized, and the game design makes it more exciting as you progress. Great job!

I had a lot of fun with this!

My Notes

• The bullets did more damage to me between levels than any other time.
• It’s hard to select an upgrade if there are still bullets around.
• I ended up avoiding firing unless I knew it was going to hit any enemy.
• Music fits well.
• Firing feels ok but could do with some more impact, gets better with two guns.
• Took me a while to realise there was a dash but I think that’s on me.
• Could do with a little more enemy variety.

Not a bad game but quite difficult to advance further, because of all the bullets still remaining after the wave. I shot myself quite often because of that. All in all a nice game, but,  just as others have stated, with a few tweaks it could be a bit easier to play and thus a bit more fun. The music and sounds are nice!

I really liked the concept and gameplay loop. The game isn't paused during upgrade selection which would be a good qol fix. I also think all bullets should be removed when a wave is completed. The SFX was a bit sharp, but when I lowered the volume and the music started playing, the bullet sound matched the music really well. The visuals are also very polished, and I had fun playing!

"You shot yourself 111 times." You'd think I'd know better by now.

So I have a few notes. Its a shame the health restoration and bullet damage doubling is only in the description, it could have done with an in-game tutorial. The health meter seems to be under the player, as I've found out on the last wave when I decided to stick myself into a corner. A bit more enemy variety could have helped with the optimal strategy being to shoot every new slime with the exact right amount of bullets as soon as it arrives. I ended up maxing out my health before buying any other upgrade, and the slimes were still never any danger to me. The upgrade shop not pausing the game or clearing out the bullets did cost me a fair chunk of health though :]

On the positives side, the graphics look neat and its very clear what's happening at all times. Music's a good fit (at least far as I can tell, audio is a mystery to me). The shop offers enough upgrades that there's room for multiple playstyles, for example creating a deadly wall of bullets in the path of future slime only to inevitably have to dodge it myself instead made for an exciting strategy.  Most importantly, it's clearly fun enough that I got to the "survive" wave, died to bouncing bullets into my own face, and started another run anyway. 

I think what's there is a fun way to kill ten minutes, and with a few tweaks there's a fair bit of potential for more.
