A very fun bullet hell platformer. The presentation was fantastic,  and the controls also work really well. The tutorial was actually the hardest part for me, lol, I kept dying on the part where the host teaches you to jump, because the Bullets were so fast that I barely had time to react. Maybe make the bullets in the tutorial move more slowly.

Also, after the part where the microphone appears and the masses of bullets come from the ceiling, nothing happens anymore. Is this intentional or did I miss something?

Nooo that's a bug unfortunately that section is the tutorial that teaches attacking with the microphone, the game get's a lot harder lmaoo. If you die at all during that section you'll get softlocked, you have to restart from the options menu and play through the first part again. Nasty bug to be sure, sorry about that, thanks for playing!

Probably best game of this jam. Pretty neat, with cool twist and mechanics. With high curve of difficulty (playtests help to get rid of this), but still great.
Got stuck at several places because of the bug (died when the scene started to break), but still super cool. Love this.

Lovely game! The presentation here is sublime with the pixel graphics and music! The game was difficult but the frequent checkpoints made it feel fairer.

I really enjoyed playing this game, I didn't get very far because it does get a bit hard after a while.  The controller feels very responsive, although I didn't get used to dashing upwards, I always jumped and pressed dash which isn't gonna make me dash. Overall it's a nice concept and a really good entry.

Very interesting game, there are vibes from the sega console. Incredible graphics but slightly challenging gameplay

this game is really good! the art is fantastic and the gameplay is hard, but not too hard! though i did find an exploit where you can dash into the ceiling and just sit there, not sure if that was intended or not

Really cool game! Loved the art. I think i broke the rules too hard at some point because I'm just standing here and nothing is happening lol

Edit: I just finished it! Really fun. Reminds me a bit of old flash games

I love it! The character animation who talks to you is nicely done! And I love the difficulty!

Fantastic work! I remember playing some of your previous entries and I am really astonished by the quality of games you make. The work on the art and animations is just great. The game is fun and well made and I think the difficulty is alright. I am very bad at dodging bullets so could not get further than the "The crowd is loving this!" part. But really enjoyed the gameplay and the different mechanics.

Neat game. Very good stuff!
