Nice game. The second phantom fight got me. I'm not that good in bullet hell games. Sounds and sprites go well together. It was satisfying slaying the skeleton. Thanks for the game

Jogo divertido de jogar, mas eu achei a maneira de recarregar minha respiração um pouco estranha. Eu continuei matando um monte de inimigos no início até que eu descobri que eu só tinha que continuar em linha reta. Parabéns pelo jogo.

I really liked the implementation of the game. Within my game session I have not encountered any single glitches or bugs at all. The way the game present itself was truly amazing too. I liked the art-style and the sfx. They fits well together.

Balancing two different abilities, where ones take up breath for health. And another takes up health for breath. And then only being able to use breath to kill monster is a good gameplay idea.

I really appreciate that the developers actually took the time to create a main menu. In fact, there is even a functioning settings menu!

Thank you for your feedback, glad you enjoyed it!!

Hi everyone! I am the level designer for this game!

The game was based on Yogi Practice breathing. Here is a description of our abilities and what they do! As a small team of friends, we were only able to get the game running in its current state so we didn't have time to add all the things we wanted! But there is more to come!

  1. Nadi Shodhana Breath: our Damage ability, This breath can shoot through enemies and does Pierce damage and take away BREATH (press left click to activate)
  2. Ujjayi Breath: our Healing ability, This breath will cast for a short time and then heal you! This ability costs BREATH (Press Q to activate)
  3. Kapalabhati Breath: our Buff ability, This breath will PUSH mobs away and gives your BREATH (Press E to activate)

*Tips*

Don't Let your Breath or your Health reach 0

Find out why these Skeletons keep coming out of the ground!

Have fun! ;)

Nice game feel!
I didn't quite understand the main mechanic. I think Q inhales and E exhales, and having a balanced yellow bar is required for casting spells. However I'm not sure how the healing works, it felt like I was randomly healing when pressing Q or E close to enemies.
I think a tutorial, even in text, would have helped greatly!

Also the levels were a bit too big, for the first 2 levels I completed the objectives at the very beginning, and then had to walk all the way to the end to move to the next level.

Overall, good presentation, nice game feel,  good to fight many enemies at once and have a bit of bullet hell fun.
