Infinitely late but I uploaded a review video to youtube and your game is a part of it! Check it out here:

Developer

Thanks! I'll look at it. Maybe it will give me more motivation. Also I recently am about to finish up TVHell for the Fragment Jam. But it will be very similar to what you played through with the exception of Mickey Mouse & the ending, and also fixing the death issue.. Not going to be too much better. (No one wants to go back and look through their unfinished games soo, I feel not as motivated). I probably should post this comment after I watch the video XD

Developer

Saw the video. Thanks for your review. Maybe I should fix the swords (but thats another thing on my todo list) (doesn't want to patch the bug) XD. I think if I want to expand this I would have to work on this in a completely new game. Actually. Now I know what game I want to use it for. The two game ideas click together. Yep. Thanks. I think you gave me a boost. Well right after I do this June / July Jackpot Jam. Are you doing it by any chance?

Regardless thanks for the review. I'll let you know when the updated version is posted by just replying. (If you are interested obviously)

I wasn't planning on it but if you send me a tell with submission, I'll definitely play through your game <3  Thanks for the comment, hope all goes well =D

I enjoyed when the sword attacks switched from going towards you to coming from the right. You've got the right elements for a fun game here!

Thanks. Definetely planning on reviving this someday. Just maybe not TV shows. Appreciate the comments. Thanks for hosting the jam.

Welp, that was neat. 

I liked the continuously generating patterns and gameplay.  The music could loop better, the objects to dodge sometimes appeared on me, and I was completely invincible.  So, I'm not sure if there was any other feedback other than the health bar.  Very cool concept, would love to see this expanded!

Great work!

Developer

Thanks. I'm definetely planning on reviving this someday. Just maybe completely different and not based on TVShows.. haha

I feel like this could be a fun bullet-hell game. I liked how you did the health indicator. The attacks are a bit spaced out, which made them really easy to avoid for the most part. A menu screen would've been nice, too, rather than jumping right into the game. Also, something was happening when hitting space bar, but I'm not entirely sure what.

Developer(+1)

Yeah, It was going to be a fun bullet hell game where you go through different tv shows. I was trying to create a block mechanic with the space key that has a cooldown so you could block attacks but that never really got completed.

Nice word play... Sword "pixel" art! haha ;) Decent gameplay idea.. with more variations of the swords, this could be an extra fun game! I was dodging so intensely, but towards the end, I only realised I could not die! hahah ;) Good effort! :)

Developer

Thanks.

I appreciate the idea, but there is no way to actually lose or quit once you begin the game. Even without the realization that I couldn't actually die I thought the health went down a bit too slow. Good idea here, it just needs to be finished!

Developer

Thanks. I'm thinking about reviving the game someday.
