Congrats on the win!

Had a lot of fun playing your game! The gameplay idea is very smart and innovative in my opinion

Well done on the 1st place. So simple and clean and addictive. Very replayable.

Developer

Thank you so much! This jam was so much fun :) looking forward to doing another one soon!

I was so happy when I read that you made the art yourself, as the player character's walk cycle is one of my favourite animations from any recent game I've played - I can't quite put into words why, but I love it!

Really fun game great simple concept to grasp and lots of great visual + audio flavour in there (honourable mention to the acid trail that slowly fades out and stops dripping when you haven't stood in the acid pool for some time!)

Developer

Thanks so much! This means a lot, I was really happy with the animation and the acid trail so absolutely delighted someone picked up on both :)

You might already be familiar with them, but the sprite took a lot of inspiration from BNDT's animations - not sure where you can find them other than twitter, but their work is amazing!

I like the idea and I like how bullets deplete your max life, I just wish there was a way to fight back. I find myself getting very overwhelmed even for a bullet hell. Other than that though very solid game and good job!

Developer

Thank you for playing! Currently making a tiny follow up to this with a parry mechanic, which should address this :)

Really fun (and addictive haha) game, and I really love how you did all the assets by yourself!

Developer

Thank you! Was a lot of fun to make everything :)

Hey awesome! Gameplay is really addictive. Tough at first, but once I understood you could confidently leave the zone for a decent duration my score got higher. The zone control and reduced max health is a great combo for a bullet hell. Nice job!


Developer

That's a great score! Thank you for playing :)

I am absolutely amazed at this idea. the Gameplay itself is amazing.

In addition, except for some visual problems(Like how everything is by a black background instead of transparent), this is extremely well polished! Very addictive and fun:)

Developer

Thank you - glad you enjoyed it! :)

For now, my best score: 71 seconds.

Oh, this is really fantastic. Retrostyle, bullet-hell with a strategic point, fit well the theme, cool palete… No sfx I think, but the gameplay is addictive and challenging. The idea of the recharge point, the life bar suffering the impacts, the visuals… All together work smoothly and clear. One of my favorites of this jam.

Thank you! 71 seconds is a little higher than my current score, nicely done :)
