I think you should be really proud of your first jam entry. It's impressive enough to make deadline, but you got a game in! That's awesome. And it's pretty fun, if not super intuitive. I had to read your description through and review the comments here for how to interact with the stones, but once I did, I had a good time with what you put together. I'm sure there's a dozen more things you'd like to do with it (just like I have a whole list of changes for my entry), but don't sweat it. These things are all about improving and being part of the community and you're doing great there.

Excellent solo dev entry. Great job.

Developer

Yes you're right I want to do more like bug fixes, walking on the stones instead of walking diagonaly and make a better main menu

And I thank you for this wonderfull feedback you gave me

Pretty good for your first game!  You've got a title screen, some instructions, and the graphics are not bad!  As other's have commented, I would definitely take time to add sound in the future.  Maybe sacrifice one of the levels if need be.  Sound adds SO much to a game.

On a gameplay note, I couldn't get past the first level or wave.  I never managed to kick the rocks in the middle for some reason.  I even had inifinite life on one play through somehow as my health went negative and was able to keep playing for as long as I wanted.  So, contrary to what you said in the game pages description about making it harder, I would advise to go the other way.

Developer

thanks for the feedback and to kick them you have to walk up diagonaly

Sure lives up to the name, haha! The dodging was pretty well done and kicking the rocks was interesting. It needs some sound! Good job overall

i feel confident in publishing more games now

Good concept overall, but I had a few issues with it.

The bullet hell aspects worked well. The rocks were pretty hard to hit, and when it got to the third phase all that appeared on screen were the bullets and kept dodging for a few minutes. Menu said to click the boss, but as far as I could see there was nothing to click (perhaps this was a bug).

Still, good job on getting a bullet hell with good patterns in, and multiple phases. Not all game jam games can get this aspect right.

Developer

idk why but the boss clicking wont work in the browser version so i recomend downloading the game

Submitted

didnt get the game not sure what i was supposed to do was confused

Developer

i recomend download since the browser version is weird

also the game tells you what to do in the main menu

Submitted

you never explaind how to kick the rock 

Developer

oh to kick the rock on the left you have to walk diagonaly to the left and same for the right ones but right

Submitted

I was unable to find out how to get to the next lv xD But i like the concept and especially for the first game. Yours is much better then mine first one. Plus i like that you get pushed down if you move close to the sites. Thats a nice touch and nothing that i would expect in a first time entry. Keep it up :)

Developer

the is no levels

there is phases :)

Hey so i think the concept of this game is really interesting, a 2D bullet hell with unique and interesting features is hard to find and you managed to pull it off really well, on the negatives though is i feel like the charm of the game loses its traction with the graphics, now I know this might be something that is uncontrollable to you, maybe you wanted to make your own assets, and i feel like that's really great i feel like there potential here and i would like to see more from it using the mechanic you made. overall i rate this a 7/10 but a solid 9/10 in potential.  if you have time id love if you could check out my page as well. 


if you have time id love it if you could check out my page as well and give me feedback!
