Thank you so much for this detailed response. I really appreciate it.
I like making my games easy, so didn't really wanna bother with a health system for this one. I'll check the audio thing you mentioned. it worked fine for me, but maybe it is a setting issue. you're definitely right about the level length. If i had a bit more time on this jam I would definitely trim them and make the boss fights a bit longer. I totally forgot about the hit indicator! it was on my to do list and it slipped my mind! good catch.
I'm probably not gonna expand on this one, but I will participate in the bullet hell jam and use what I've learned from making this one!
thank you so much for this feedback. it is greatly appreciated.
I'll be sure to check out your game asap!
