Wow, we thank you for the detailed feedback and intensive playtesting on our game. We would like to congratulate you on your highscore in our game, woo-hoo!(yes we checked hehe)

1. Someone did mentioned about the tutorial issues too in the comments. We're working on solving this issue in the next update which shall be coming very soon! Stay tuned!

2. For the title screen, initially we were thinking to have it being an animated background but because of time constraint, we decided to go with static bg. I guess if we were to make it static, we would decide on a more fitting visual for the main menu to better reflect our game.

3. There was a mention about this too in the comments. Initially we wanted to add a red flash but was cancelled because of time constraint. We'll think about it in future updates.

4. I guess we were too cautious in trying to keep the general color scheme more consistent, as in we didn't want the UI to look too distracting from the gameplay. We thank you for your input in this though, we'll look into it further.

5. Good idea! We noticed that issue happening too when we did our playtest, but we didn't know how to fix it. Thank you for the suggestion.

6. I guess it's a matter of preference, but we wouldn't want to exclude you guys that didn't like it. We will add in an option to toggle the effects in the settings in the future!

7. Regarding the hitbox, we'll make it smaller to fit the bullet hell style game.

8. This is a technical issue that we didn't know how to fix it as it is out of our scope.

9. I guess if it works it works! hahaha

About the naming, honestly we didn't thought much of it, and it sounds cool and funny to us at the time. Most importantly we all agreed upon it  :D 

87 just means the date we started this project! 

Regarding the player, it's a statue of David, which is very prominent in vaporwave aesthetics. In a way this makes him a main character of the whole vaporwave theme.

Again your feedbacks is really valuable to us. We really appreciate it! We hope that you will enjoy our new upcoming update too!

Ah, looking up the vaporware meme I see the strong inspiration - and the enemies make even more sense now. I still don't get the 87 joke, but that's okay xD

Good luck on the jam!

to explain the 87 part, it just means 8th of July, saturday where we started doing our project due to timezones. 8 just means 8th of July and 7 just means the 7th month of the year. So its essentially the date we started our project for the game. We didn't really thought much about the name, we were all just making jokes, thought of the word electric boogaloo, and just think, oh ya, lets just call the game, EB-87 as everything in the game doesn't really make sense AHAHA. hopefully this gives a better understanding. and thanks for giving very constructive feedback, and loving our game. Much appreciated from me and the team!
