really fun and creative game! played it all the way to the end and loved how it ended with the final boss being a "familiar character" to not give away any spoilers haha. felt really polished and was well done! wish there was some sort of endless mode where you can revisit bosses and get more power ups. great job!

This is probably one of the most best-packed entries of the Jam. I loved the aesthetic of the project.

My only issue is that I'm missing a bit the spin theme linked more with the player mechanics.

But overall great entry on the Jam!

Really awesome VFX and art style! Loved it! the bosses all felt fun to fight, and I like you're implementation of the theme! Really great game, had a blast playing it!

(P.S. If you're willing to I'd love it if you played and gave some feedback to my game! It's my first ever game jam and I'd love to see where I can improve!)

I really like the monochrome visuals in this, the animations are so nice, even text is gracefully animated, well done everywhere, the mechanics are nice and match the type of game, I rate graphics, control, music and fun on most but all is great realy, also, if you have some time, please, rate my game too, thanks!!!

I love the music and art! The sprites are so cute! I think that there's a small flaw, if I stay still in the right bottom corner of the screen I almost never get hit, so it becomes really easy

Absolutely banger ost.

This is SUCH a speedrunnable game, great call on having the leaderboard there. I really appreciate the balancing here, it feels very much like the right difficulty for a jam game, where it's not particularly tough, but losing is a big loss in progress which balances out the consequences. I will say I can't tell whether I was in flow state or if I was going through the motions for some of the fights, because I honestly zoned out during the latter half of quite a few of them since I wasn't in any real risk of ever losing and the bosses never changed up their patterns as the fights went along. I do get why they didn't though, because that type of dynamically changing boss design isn't as cohesive with the aesthetic as the current approach to boss design you currently have

Incredible game! One of the best I've played, honestly :D

I loved trying to speedrun this! (I can't believe someone managed to speedrun it in about 6min!)

Everything is really great: the bosses are very well thought out, the skill lottery is brilliant, the graphics are great, the music too, the tutorial is superb! In short, a huge bravo for this masterclass!

This is absolutely fantastic and easily one of my favourites of this jam.

The presentation, UI, art and music are all ace but the playing the game is so much fun.

The tombola is such a great way to do rouge type stat increases and I would get excited when one of the yellows would hit.

You did such a great job, well done!

What a great fun and simple game with excellent art and sound by one person! It has a fresh vibe, and you have a radio to play the songs, excellent UI. I got the yellow ball right before the end boss! Congrats on submission! Feel free to try our game if you like!

Very simple and fun. The bosses were really easy so I would have liked a difficulty scale a bit. For over half the bosses I just stat checked them standing still and shooting. I think that is a product of many of the bosses being almost identical in their attacks. Best bosses were lust and envy because they forced you move around and dodge to avoid damage. I really like the vibe of the game and the simple upgrade system was nice.

Funnily enough my game has a similar premise where you fight through the circles of hell (from dante's inferno) so kinda the same vibe as fighting the deadly sins.

Awesome job! Loved the artstyle, so minimalist! The upgrades are fun, just kept shooting close to the final boss face to melt him hahaha.

I like how simple the game is. From the combat to everything else. I was having fun. Great job.

This is a very nicely made game, it has polish and everything is smooth. I really like how satisfying it is to spin the wheels to either choose a boss or an upgrade. Additionally, all of the boss attacks were interesting and balanced. Good job on this entry!

This exactly what it says on the tin and by all accounts that is great. It's not trying to be anything crazy or revolutionary, it's an arcade-style bullet hell with a loose upgrade system and a boss gauntlet that varies slightly between runs. Music fits the vibe, though it is a little repetitive, and combat doesn't feel punishing. Some bosses (Wrath and Envy) were harder than others (Greed and Lust), but all in all pretty solid, if a little bare in terms of attack variety for a given boss. Gonna be honest, plot twist did get me. I had already been asking "Wait, aren't there seven?" on the fifth boss, and the reveal was done tastefully without unnecessary flourish, the absence and quick transition spoke louder than a screaming in your face "BWAHAHA I'M GONNA PRIDE ALL OVER THE PLACE" lmao
A shame I never got a gold capsule. Great job and great game!

Quite nice, very well polished, and great presentation. Always nice to see solo devs, especially when it's a really competent game all around like this, lol.

I feel like the controls and actual combat still feel a little bare, though. Not everything needs to have four different resource gauges and complex mechanics, but it starts off quite slow and the bosses are fairly limited in what they can do. Some differentiation in the upgrades besides "walking and attacking faster", and possibly evolving patterns for the bosses, would really do wonders here!

Fun, and I did like the boss designs and the 8bit art/music styles!

Would have liked a different take on the theme, and don't take me wrong, its just that this is like the fifth game of the genre I played for this jam with almost the same use of the theme and its getting a bit old..

then again, solo dev? really nice job!

Take care :)

Lot of bosses and different upgrades and a fun vibe! 

Cute, '1 bit?!' game?

Those Earthbound looking backgrounds behind the main game frame look dope! Those really add onto the already good looking and expressive visuals and catchy soundtrack. The gameplay is also balanced with the bosses and the random upgrades, which makes the game feel fair yet intense. Overall, I had a lot of fun with this game.

Well done! :)
