Really cool :) Love the visuals, and it's fun for a couple of rounds!

I loved it visually, but there were moments where I thought the player's hitbox was a bit too small, like "that should had definitely hit me"

Managed to reach to 60 seconds :P

An overall pretty solid entry. I believe optional skills settings are theorically doable, like easy requiring 2 pink projectiles and hard requiring 4.


Movement feels fluid and responsive. Yeah, I do approve :P


The weapon design, that was cool looking.

You're probably right about the hitbox, I really felt it's not perfectly balanced yet 😅

I’ll admit that I glossed over the controls the first time I played this, and I wish I hadn’t– once you start using the healing orbs, the gameplay loop is fast and frantic in a way that I feel has a lot of potential. Almost everything in this game feels polished to a T, and there’s not a thing I’d change.

I think if you keep working on this game and give it a little more flair, you’ll be well on your way to a commercial arcade title a la Devil Daggers or Downwell. Keep at it!

Devil Daggers was a big inspiration, glad you've noticed!

Super chunky PS1 graphics along with my favorite implementation of the Jam theme.
