Visuals and effects really adds to the game feel, but it was super hard for me lol. Awesome game though I really liked it!

How does your game fit the theme?
Scale Event Starting! is a game that is constantly in action, as you can tell from the name of the game. The main reason for this action is the event system and boss battles that take place every 10 seconds. Designing the events and organizing the boss battles fits in with the GMTK Game Jam 2024 “Built to Scale” theme as Scale means that the character is in scale (power-up), the dimensions are in scale, the time is in scale, the music is in scale and of course the battles are in scale.

Awesome game, super fun to play. The CRT shader was awesome, the art was great, the gameplay was fun, all around awesome.
Super cool game!! I loved the visual style and the effects you did, and the music went with it really well! I'm not great at bullet hells personally, and even if i didn't beat the game, I had a lot of fun and liked the random effect aspect as well.
I'm sure you will be at least in the top 100 of the game jam, the theme was perfect! Good luck to you guys
It's a pity I couldn't enjoy the game because of it's screenshakes. My headaches with them. But it looked really nice.
I enjoyed that you incorporated the theme of "Scale" into the game in so many different ways! Rescaling the window was particularly good. I also liked the art style, and the music was great! I did think it was a little punishing for a jam game--I might've preferred if it was easier to heal. Overall, great job!
Just an all round fun game
got jumpscared when the window shrunk though ngl
I liked the execution, the UI felt pretty polished, the theme was heavily taken into account. I can only suggest adding screen shake and enemy death particles.
WINDOW SCALE DOWN
Hilarious!! What a rad style with some humor thrown into the mix. That epilepsy warning was a definitely a wise design design given the visuals.
Welcome to the goo club ;) for real tho, super cool game! The perfect kind of stressful.
Nice work on the vibe of the game, and for the event system!
