Wow, this is definitely one of my favorite submissions for this jam I’ve played so far! This was really well-made, the music and visual design were fantastic. Really nicely polished, and the enemy variety was great - the difficultly spike kind of felt abrupt, but the difficulty is what made it so fun for me too. Honestly I’m a bit jealous of how well-polished this all is - lots of little things that just add up to make the whole thing feel fantastic. Amazing job! You should be proud of this one :)
EDIT: Played through it some more, made it to the final boss. Would be nice to have some indicator as to how much damage I’m doing to him (unless I’m just blind and missed it), plus him appearing from the bottom of the screen was a nasty surprise that stole one of my lives before the fight even started. Those are just minor nitpicks though, I really enjoyed it overall! The sound design for the boss was great too
