Wow this was a fun one! Excellent visual effects accenting simple yet elegant sprites, gameplay that made me a powerhouse but never disengaged me, and tactful sound design! I especially liked the burning corpse upgrades, but I didn't notice anything from the burst of mini-balls upgrade. Ash physics were super impressive too, and made good use of the small resolution. One of my favorites!

Thank you for your feedback!
Yeah, I need to rework the burst of mini bolts. It’s meant to help you escape tricky situations at close range. However, as it stands it’s difficult to see because the mini-bolt appears in the trail of the main bolt. Levels 2 and 3 of the upgrade give you more mini bolts, but since the game only has 7 stages for now it’s rare to be able to get the upgrade to that level.
This is what a fully decked-out mini-bolt gun looks like
I’ll definitely keep your feedback in mind if I flesh out the game after the jam :)
