Throwback to a classic style but with a modern twist, love it!

Great game, a lot of fun! Make the bullets more meaningful, and do more damage, so that getting skills makes you feel awesome when playing! Great job and be encouraged! :)

Thanks for playing this on your stream! Always nice to have live feedback :)

Fun game here. The bullets felt a little overwhelming and impossible to avoid, which I understand is sort of the point of bullet hell games, but in this case it was more due to my size so it was like it was encouraging me to lose health to win. Maybe incorporate some sort of barrel roll so the ship can momentarily become impervious to bullets. Or have your bullets be as big as your size so people would want to stay big to have more powerful shots which would play more into the theme (if you already did this it was very hard to tell). But nice levels, and I very much enjoyed playing this one!

Thanks for the advice! The bullets do already change size and the smaller you are the less bullets you shoot but maybe it's not obvious enough. A dash or bomb would be cool, I'll probably add it in a later version :)

Good stuff! The topic was used in a neat way, and overall it was really fun. Obviously its a little short, though that's understandable with the time limit. The enemies did have wildly varying difficulty I feel, like, the ones that shoot a stream of bullets are WAY harder than the ones that shoot in a circle. Other than that, fantastic job!

clever little shoot em up, clear graphics, interesting bullet patterns. it's harder to hit shrunken enemies but i really like the idea behind that, great job man

I love bullet hells so this game was super fun for me. The bullet patterns are fun to dodge, and I thought it was clever to indicate enemy health by their size. Great game overall!

Very nice game. I thought it was very enjoyable! Make sure that you scale your UI properly

Developer

This is on the game page but I guess it doesn't show here, these are the controls

WASD to move around the screen, M1 to fire, and ESC to pause/un-pause.

I couldn't really undertstand the controls since there was no how to play screen and the screen isn't sized correctly

Developer

I posted about the controls, I guess they only show up on the game page bit the submission page. I don't know why the screen size is like that, I tried it on 5 different PC's and they worked fine.

Hope you enjoy!
