Glad you enjoyed it!
Ran out of time trying to fix WebGL to work properly with different screen resolutions, there shouldn’t have been any off screen turrets! Oops 😬
I think I bugged the 2nd boss as he didn't attack after I lost and started again on the second level. Other than that the art was really cool and probably my favorite of the more classic bullet hell games this jam. I also liked the slower pace and 3x lives allowing me to find the correct movement patterns.
Cool artstyle and gameflow would have loved to put more time into this game, however the fact that I had to start over from the beginning really hurt replayability. It wasn't obvious to me the aim spot was for the bombs at first and even after figuring out the ground attack gameplay the bomb explosion radius felt pretty harsh.
Theme, Visuals, and Audio are on point, this definitely needs some way of explaining to the player that the rewind clocks act as checkpoints, but one you have that figured out the gameplay is smooth and rewarding. If you were to expand on this I would like to see you use the existing components in new and unique ways, as I can see killing robots to open doors getting stale. All in all , great game!
A few people mentioned the projectile smallness and the fact that the bullet shadows threw them off. Good call. I have a habit of making my games too hard so I made sure at the very least to make the opening levels accessible to casual gamers. Ran out of time for level design and polish but I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Theme, Visuals, and Audio were amazing.
The deck building aspect really brought a dimension of strategy to the game that I really appreciated.
The learning curve of knowing what to avoid as well as what constitutes a play through would be my only negatives.
Would have played much longer to see what other bosses awaited!
Fun little game!
As others have pointed out the background and bullet contrast is a bit rough, but I actually really liked the sound sound effects, the first time I heard the take damage effect I almost laughed out loud. I think if you made all of them with your mouth it would really add to the quirkiness.
Not sure how I made it to level 8, the success of the player feels quite luck based as the scissors travel faster than the player and the hair delay puts dodging out of your control.
I really enjoyed the take, even if it was puzzling, first game to put a big ole grin on my face before even getting to level 1.
Very cool take,
Controls are intuitive, has a nice "easy to learn hard to master" curve, visuals are are clean as the gameplay is smooth. The depth of strategy that comes from such minimal components is what makes this great.
Spent way too much time enjoying this one.
As for ball weights, I prefer the way you have it, just feeling it out seems perfect for such a clean/ minimal looking game.
Who would have thought space photography to be so dangerous/difficult? Pretty sure the difficulty ramp up would have been made smoother if I had realized there were powerups (just read your comment "Did you use the upgrades?") but alas no upgrades for me. Still not sure what the "redirects" countdown timer was for. The unexpected find your path nature of the levels from quick repeatability was a nice feature. Overall, I felt is was missing an overarching objective or story-line to keep me invested. Felt more COPS than MCU.
Loved the game, first one that felt more like a steam game than a game jam game.
Tip for players. Make planters in horizontal rows then hold up and left or down and right while spamming E for speed planting/harvesting.
Note: you cannot leave space by building out a few thousand blocks... its infinite... and if you fall you will get teleported all the way back to base. (sad life)
On the negative... at 4 digit wealth your last digit is cut off. Over 10k you lose a digit entirely. Fun game.
I really enjoyed this game, longest play so far so ill pass on a few things of note. I really like the way you use weapons, although it took me a bit to figure out. The end goal "rift" thing was a bit confusing, I wasn't really sure what I was supposed to be working towards so I just shot monsters. Every time I attempted to grab a card from HQ it would be discarded so the money felt pointless as all it did was upgrade cards I couldn't use. Still was fun, thanks.
