Awesome game! It feels great, and the boss fight progression goes really well with the music.

This is absolutely my favorite game from the jam - the idea is probably my favorite, and the boss is the exact level of difficulty it should be. 10/10, would absolutely love to see this taken further.

This is definitely one of the best games of the jam!

The controls are super smooth, the visuals and feedback are very very nice with all the little details (animation, screen shake, etc.)

I was quite disappointed to see that the music was not free of rights since it's a big part of the game. Do you have a licence to use it on personnal projects?

Anyway, insane job here and thanks for the game ✨

Thank you for playing! These two pieces of music are distributed under CC BY-(NC)-SA 3.0 license. This is a non-commercial game and as I give credits, I can use them. It's a shame though. Because programming skills are all I have, this was my best bet.

Oooh wait my bad, I didn't follow the link in your game page to the licenced song on newground, I just google searched the music and found it on bandcamp with no information on distribution, so I was wrongly thinking this has no right to be used or shared.

Thanks a lot for the answer and clarification!

Your game defo deserves all 5 starts in each category I was thinking of giving it then, keep making awesome games ✨

Really well made game. Great music, controls are smooth, nice visual and audio feedback, and fits the limitation and theme perfectly. Probably the best game I've played this game, felt very polished. (options menu for audio was nice bonus)

Was able to beat the boss after a few tries, a good fun challenge.

Excellent bullet hell. With a very interesting concept and a good impact from the game.

I'm thrilled, I would have played more if there were more boss options, and in general more content

The gameplay is addicting!
The art is simple but the postprocessing makes it all pop!

One of the best I've seen in this jam!

That was awesome! The attacks felt like they were designed specifically for different strategies to be used to fight the boss and avoid your previous self.

VERY FUN

Really enjoyed playing your game! The graphics work nicely, and I love the rewind effect. The concept is really cool and creative!

I find the difficulty to be quite well balanced: it's hard but you want to get back to it, and the different  phases make it so that I don't get bored and feel like I am getting better as I learn the paterns.

Anyway I'm going back to it, I almost beat it!


Edit: didn't talk about the mirror/ghost (not sure?) concept that is really really cool! like it's your ally, but also can hurt you, really new and fun concept.


Edit 2: Boss beaten :) Thank you for the game!

Super awesome game! Very coherent and generally well polished! I managed to get the boss down to half health a couple of times, but it reverted back to full again. It was very difficult not to kill or get killed by my mirror image, which made it challenging in a fun way. Well done! :-D
