Nice retro arcade. Pretty good graphic style. Liked it.

I am not sure about the idea, but it seems that enemies should be weaker, so you can shoot 2-3 times only. For example - you can not get on the straight line to shot the "swirly" ship because: 1 - it blocked by meteors in front, and they have alot HP; 2- you can not get too close, because swirls have really close gaps.

Nice Arcade style Gameplay! The artstyle is amazing! Nice to see the shift from easy to hard! :D

Good job on this game, and getting/using the external art. It sometimes feel a little bit slow but other than that it's fun.

Love it, classic arcade bullet hell game! The art is amazing and really well polished!

Cool game! this type of game was right up my alley. I was able to spam the fire button and destroy most of the stuff to dodge. Maybe set a cooldown for firing when you get a chance to update it!

Really fun game. Starts off looking too easy, but turns up the heat pretty fast. Shame that the game only shows this run's score rather than the high score. Good looking art, good music.

Ah, good point didn’t even think to save the highest score but at least that’ll be an easy add for an update. Thanks for playing!

Fun game! I like the art and gameplay, very fun but also very challenging.

This is really cool. I dig bullet hell games even though I'm terrible at them. I always seem to be in a window then move into bullets cause I'm lacking a few brain cells. The sprite work is fantastic and the ui is clean. If I had to give any recommendations it would be to add more enemies and an additional attack the player has, like a missile to clear out AoEs every now and then. Also sometimes I feel like the ship is a little tall and its hard to clear smaller gaps. Great game!

Yeah in retrospect definitely should’ve standardized on boxier sprites to better match the hitboxes. But hey, that’s what game jams are for! Thanks for playing.
