interesting concept, reminded me of Enter the Gungeon's Turtle Problem. lovely presentation with great VFX (good choice of sound FX, too!)
well done!

I was halfway sure that you took the initial inspiration from it. it's even better if you didn't :)
there ain't much to check out, really. EtG is a bullet-hell hell game, and there's an item called Turtle Problem. what it does is spawning little turtles that can absorb a couple of shots before ceasing to exist. they don't shoot, just cover you randomly. it's only just a few of them at first but if you play long enough you'll see, like, 20 to 30. partially reminds me of your idea but that's pretty much it. although EtG is a very creative game, you may find inspiration in some of its many other mechanics
Haha wow that sounds cool. In fact, it sounds like that turtle thing is itself inspired by the green turtles that you can get surrounding you in Mario Kart. I have played EtG before actually, just not enough to actually get this Turtle Problem guy. It's definitely one of the good twin-stick shooters out there, so there's lots to learn from it for everyone.
