Hehe, I enjoyed bruteforcing my way through the end picking extra life in the process, but I still always changed the colour to the right one because it felt like the right thing to do although I didn't really take the time to shoot the enemies. The controls and speeds feel good.
Cool game!
Thanks!
Simple and well-structured for its genre. I really liked the idea with the cloud and the player's color.
I found it a bit difficult and faster than I expected, but of course, that’s just my personal opinion. I also felt like the colliders were a bit too large compared to the space you have to dodge enemy bullets.
That said, well done , good effort!
Thanks! I will change the game
Awesome visuals, really cool looking. Difficulty was pretty high though but the controls felt smooth and fair.
Thanks!
Straightforward and fun :) The colour switching is a cool concept for a bullet hell game. The only thing that is kinda irritating is that when you hit an enemy, you have no feedback that you actually hit it. It would be better if there was some kind of particle effect or sound effect, so you know that you actually hit something. But other than that, very cool game :)
Thanks! I will upgrade the game in the future and add effects.
Very nice idea for a bullet hell, slightly tedius to switch between colors.
It's a cool concept though, well done!
Thanks!
Cool Concept with the color changing, but like takokiko said cycling through the colors was a bit of a pain, still cool idea ! and nice game :D
Thanks!
I found it a bit annoying to cycle through the colors until finding the matching one, perhaps having a button for each would’ve been nice, especially considering how often the cloud changes color!
Otherwise it’s a nice little game, good job!
Thanks! I agree that the color switch is now bad, and I will add buttons in the future for every color)
I love the music and overall vibe of the game! The color changing mechanic is pretty smart too! Nice job :)
Thanks!
Really appreciate the haste you went through to code in different bullets and art for each of the colors :D Feel like the game needed a weee bit more juice, though. Good work!
Thanks!
A cool concept once you grasp it !
I like how this is sort of a new twist on the Ikaruga style where you have to color match but here it’s to shoot rather than to avoid bullets.
The music is also quite good in this and i like Ultramato’s design, the character somehow gave me some Katamari Damaci vibes XD
if i had to nitpick i’d say that while the color switch mechanic is really cool and what makes the game, the controls to change it kinda hinder the experience a bit. Cause you’ve gotta quickly tap the spacebar to find the right color and sometimes can overshoot it and have to cycle everything again :/
one way to improve this could be to have the color switch on some sort of wheel selection (mechanically i was thinking kinda like weapon wheels in some FPS) so the player could quickswitch directly to the color they need instead of having to cycle through it all every time. Then again just a suggestion ^^
Other than that its pretty fun to play, well done :)
Thank you so much for the long review! I also liked my character and the mechanics with the colors. I agree, switching through the space bar was clumsy, so in the future I want to improve the controls to a more convenient one. Thanks again!
No problem, like i said just a suggestion and my opinion. Your game your vision, but i felt this could be an improvement to avoid panic switching all over the place :p
I didn't quite get this one, I don't understand why the colours were changing and all the weapons of each colour where the same? The bullets are very fast and patterns quite direct so only back and forth dodging seemed to work. Don't see the use of the theme very much, but a good looking title :)
Thanks!
