- This is stellar. I would love for you to continue developing this. Fantastic job.
- Very good, short little bullet hell game, i played it to full completion. minor feedback: some sort of indicator for the health of enemies in the middle stages would be nice because briefly i wasn't sure i was doing the right thing by shooting them. other than that, very good.
- Love the style and overall idea!
- Short, but challenging and fun, funny, beautiful, and hits the theme very well. Predictable ending, but serves its purpose.
- I love me some bullethell games. Playability: The gameplay is really solid! I encountered no bugs in my playthrough, the controls are good, the objective is clear from the start and you are reminded of the objective several times throughout gameplay, my only gripe is that there doesn't seem to be an audio indicator for the player taking damage. Theme: You executed and innovated on the theme phenomenally. The story covers the theme, the gameplay covers the theme and even the plot twist covers the theme. Fantastic job! Cleverness: I like the cheese strategies hidden throughout the game. It makes the game more accessible to clever players that are inexperienced with bullethell games. Artistic Style: The game not only looks very cool, but the music is also an absolute banger. Besides that the sound design in this game is very good and the voice acting contributes so much to immersion. Very well done! Fantastic entry! Keep kicking ass!
- Couldnt manage to play the game in the browser. It got stuck by the loading screen for a long while, but I love the theme and the art style from the screenshots and from the GDD. I just hope the game works on my browser. Oof.

Excellent. The atmosphere is spot on.
This is a very funny little game! The visuals and music goes very well together also the difficulty is pretty easy. I liked the humor of it all! Very impressive entry! Good job :)
Cool idea! The gameplay and story where really interesting and the visuals where perfect!
Congratulations on making it!
Only thing I think it lacks is theme interpretation, couldn't see it anywhere.
Hi, thank you so much for the feedback!
On the topic of theme implementation though, we interpreted "it's spreading" in 2 ways.
1. The virus spreading through your device and *Spoiler warning* 2. You spreading the actual virus (Dave) through your own device by defeating the computers defenses
Wow what a great product, well done! I love all the screen shake and juicy bits.
It's amazing how much you put together in this small timeframe! Great visuals and music. The humor at the start of the game is very good as well! I did found that you can cheese the boss by attacking it before it enters the screen, allowing you to kill it without it attacking you. Great game overall, well done!
The polish here is out of control. Super juicy game, feels great to play, nicely book-ended by an intro and outro. I'm usually more interested in mechanical takes on the theme than I am in conceptual takes on it, but it's hard to even nitpick something this well put together.
Fantastic job to both of you! Killed it.
Amazing game made by amazing devs (in almost 2 days). Fantastic graphics, gameplay and humor. Strong contender for the win. Love to see more from the devs.
The presentations were impressive and the visuals were really good
Definitely a distinct visual style. Controls are a bit rigid, especially when there are multiple enemies attacking, it's somewhat difficult to escape.
Thanks!
I love the art style, very fun shooting game, great work
Thank you! 🧡💙
very fun bullet hell game, the voice acting and the visual fx give a cool vibe, good game.
Thank you so much! Deynum does have one of those voices 😂
Hey! I loved the game, the voice choice really gives it the spice it needs, I experienced some bullets flickering when hitting another bullet and on fullscreen the game is not centralized, but these are smalls details near how much fun the game experience is 😁
Thank you! Yeah we kinda had to rush everything out last minute so a few small issues slipped through the cracks xD Super glad you enjoyed it!
I play tested this game and from the when I last saw it to where it is now. The amount of polish and stuff been added (along with bugs fixed) is amazing. Well done! Both of you!
HAHA Thanks Tsea! Pleasure working with you ;) Im excited to give yours a full playthough!
Well polished game, nice work 👌
Thank you so much! <3
Really nice shooter game, love the simple style, nice physics not too hard not too easy...
Thanks! Were glad you enjoyed it!
The aesthetics are spot on. Easily one of this games greatest strengths.
Only critique is the bullet’s directions sometimes change erratically. Other than that, very nice difficulty curve!
Thank you! <3
Yeah, we forgot to make it so the bullets couldn't collider with each other... one button click would have fixed that but ahh well haha xD Is the way of the game jam xD
This is so slick! For a 2-week game jam game, the amount of polish here is insane. Controls are good, gameplay is challenging, aesthetic is on point. Great job!
Thank you very much! We really appreciate that! So glad you enjoyed it!
