Thanks for your feedback, we’re so glad that you had fun and that you think it’s a unique entry :)!
As for the difficulty, we have concluded that definitely it should have been tuned down. Maybe as you say, we could have made the player hitbox a bit smaller. We also were considering increasing the delay between bullets in some patterns so that there’s more time to get closer (especially the blue and orange circles), but sadly in the we didn’t tune it down enough and kept it too close to the limit. Something to consider for future JAMs, never rely only on dev testing for difficulty, haha!
