Sometimes I have died when nothing was happening, the enemies change color too smoothly so I couldn't tell if they are already gray or still white. The gameplay feels smooth and the art style is good. Cool idea!

love the art and sound effects!
I think you can work on this game even when the jam is over; I think a good thing you can do is try to cut some of the text at the start, and make features like not hitting enemies while their shooting  more visually understandable.
overall, a really nice game jam game!

I felt like you could have sold more on the "you are the bullet a person fires, get them to the end" concept as the player was static in the level. Game was quite fun to play if not a little difficult, it felt unfair that the shooters' bullets followed you as it made it very hard to get close to them. Also, the rules state that all assets have to be made during the jam and I'm pretty sure that main menu music is not music that you premade, please update your entry without the music or your game will be disqualified.

Developer

I made the music for the main menu in the time of the game jam but I did use samples from bandlab and I didn't even think of that so I will take off the music! thanks for the other feedback.

The clean art, with the post processing is sick! I got stuck for a moment at the beginning as the sensitivity is at 0.

Nice job!

Developer

yeah that is a big bug that I have to fix, but thanks for playing!!

Finally i have TIME to play games. In this game time goes slower. (Get it?)

Is it should be that music turns off after i hit normal/zen?
Like the idea, like the realisation!

Developer

Thank you and very funny pun. Yes the music does turn off in the other modes because I didn't want you to have to suffer through the same song over and over again because i didn't get time to make more songs.

VERY FUN AND SATISFYING 5/5

Developer

Thank you!

This one's is a really fun one with a very novel concept.  It does get a bit tiring on my hands though that could be me not fully grasping the game's mechanics.  Art style is incredible and I really love the use of particle effects.  Decently challenging though.  One suggestion I could offer is that there be some period after you die so that you take a second to catch up and process what's going on.  Just warping to the checkpoint kind of leaves me confused.  And there should be some default sensitivity because I got confused at the start

But this is a great game for the game jam.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback the default sensitivity happens to be 0 which is a bug that I need to fix. I am happy to hear you enjoyed the game!!!

The game is fun! The post-processing and simple shapes remind me of Dani's old work. The audio is nice and simple. The way you slash through armies of balls in a row is amazing. Great, fun, satisfying game.

Developer

Cool game! It was satisfying to slice the enemies. I like the sound effects too. Nicely done!

Cool game! I like the concept a lot. My only issue is sometimes the enemy is yellow and I die when touching them anyways, and I would like to use a mouse on the pause menu. Other than that, solid!

The lighting in this was great. The controls were a bit tough at first but after a bit of playing it felt great.

Pure speed and fun. Great submission. Love the use of colors and contrast, particle effects as well. One thing is the enemy bullets are a bit hard to see, because sometimes they are covered by an enemy or covered by the player bullet's particle effects. Overall fantastic job.

The default sensitivity was very slow, however once I increased the sensitivity, the game was very enjoyable! I loved the idea and the execution was stellar as well.
