“…and so they left, with everything but their sanity”.
Amazing entry for this JAM, hands-down one of the best ones I’ve tried. The patterns were very cool, varied, fun to learn to avoid, and the dash mechanic was extremely fun to use and well incorporated. The graphics are flashy and satisfying, and the adaptive music works really well with the theme.
As my only suggestion, I think it would have been a very nice touch to implement a small grace period where you can dash and save yourself after being hit (like 0.1 seconds). It would make hard challenges like Lunatic Mode feel much better to the player imo.
Very good job, keep it up!
