Nice to see another bullet hell!

I found the game to be very confusing overall. It's hard to understand the bullet moving patterns, because some of them look the same, despite behaving differently. There's also so much stuff in the interface. I think  the weapons/shields/energy system is interesting, but there is no time to properly learn the mechanics, since the player is instantly thrown in a challenging battle.

The sprite art is pretty good, the GUI could use some work though. I noticed a sound slider in the menu, but there wasn't any sound in the game, is this a bug? 

I think the game has potential, it just needs polishing.

Hi Geminimax! First of all, thanks for taking the time to play the game and give feedback. I hope I'll soon be able to reciprocate.

The game is indeed a bit rushed, I have not been very good at managing time and I spent most of it tinkering with the engine, without a clear design direction of what I wanted the game to be until very late in the process, once urgency to complete something came in. I hope I can learn a lot from this experience.

Different looking bullets for different behaviours is definitely on my QoL improvements list, 100% agree with you. The health/stamina/mana system is loosely based on Dark Souls 3, but I agree there is no introduction to those mechanics other than a very minimal how to play screen.

GUI was put together a few hours before the deadline and is very rough, just basic Godot nodes thrown out there. I didn't even have a working gameplay loop until then. I had to cut sound design because of my bad time management, but I will update it once the voting is done. I forgot to remove the UI slider, but I should, it's confusing. Sprite art is good because that's the only thing I didn't make myself, but my brother did :) I'll tell him that.

Thanks again, looking forward to play your entry soon, it looks very charming.

I can sure understand having problems with time management, I have a little pile of half-finished jam games that couldn't make it on time. So don't be too hard on yourself, you did deliver a game in the end!

I'll be waiting for the post-jam version!
