I did it! The animation at the end is very cool. I think I spent a little less time on the bosses than I spent on the combined previous levels, which feels right. I appreciate that the game ends with a satisfying final boss fight of the kind that you think you'll never be able to beat at first yet it's doable. However note that I also appreciate that final boss aside the difficulty is not too progressive along the game, it's not exactly constant but it's quickly hard and never gets insane, it's more fun that way, sometimes replaying a level a couple of times all the game long.

The presentation is stellar, I love the tunes, I love the enemies' animation and the transition between two screens is cool. The game controls perfectly, there are plenty of different enemies proposing a different threat through the game and the overall levels are fun, diverse, with the right length and difficulty. One thing I liked is that due to several reasons trying to bruteforce rarely worked as well as dodging, I tend to be quickly tempted to bruteforce but I didn't in this game, I mostly dodged, even in the levels that I eventually won only because the energy bars appeared in the right places.

Amazing game!

Really challenging. Good difficulty. I love how he drills! The transition is very smooth and feels so good!

One of my favourite so far! This is really well made! The ragdoll physics after getting hit is hilarious, I don't think I've seen anything like it in a game like this. The game also looks insane, and the commitment to pixel-perfect visuals didn't go unnoticed (I really hope you used a shader for that, since some of those animations must have been nightmarish otherwise).

It was definitely a bit on the harder side though, it's already been mentioned, but some extra i-frames would be great. Also I feel like the batteries should either have fixed spawn locations, or choose from a list of spawn locations, since the fully random system was a bit unfair at times (there were batteries that spawned in walls and enemies).

And while the game's visuals were stellar overall, the first few areas were a bit bland. Still competently made, definitely not bad by any stretch of the imagination, but the game only really started to pop in the last few areas, and I'm a bit worried that a good chunk of people will quit due to the difficulty before seeing that.

Nice game,  specially liked the level transitions. The thing I would change is to give the player some i-frames after getting hit, otherwise its really unforgiving if you are already in a bad spot

Very fun and addictive! Something about the game structure and level layouts felt very retro in a cool way, and controls are responsive and satisfying.

Also props for the visuals and the music, good work!

That Drilling sequence was gold! lol very satisfying, it has that awesome Retro Feel, the gameplay was solid, the FX were great, only lacks that competitive "let me try this one more time to beat this score thing" for example, also I was expecting that if u jump on top of the enemies it would kill them LOL (to many Mario games I guess lol), but you have the basis for a very cool platformer/ bullet dodge hell game here :)

Love the retro arcade style and the art is really nice! The knockback is a good mechanic it's a bit too easy to find yourself getting knocked about multiple times with no way to control yourself and lose all your health, so it ends up feeling like a cheap death. Perhaps the invincibility window could reset when you get hit during it, or the knockback time/amount could reduce with each subsequent hit?

Great polished entry!

Level transitions are so satisfying! I understand the unstable platforms but I don't feel like they play a big role in the gameplay

Drilling sequence to get to the next level was so cool hahaha!

For the things you are meant to collect in order to clear the stage, I do think their color is too similar to enemy bullets. When they did the spawn effect I often thought it was a different type of attack

Overall fun game well made!

The room-based structure of this game immediately reminds me of Taito arcade games like Bubble Bobble, which is a huge plus! And man, for ten days the production here is crazy, all of the sprites are beautiful, the music and sound design are good, the effects are great, lots of good gamefeel all around. Extremely impressive!

As for the actual game design, you tried to go for something really unique here-- Trying to merge precisely dodging bullets with a kind of "loose" jetpack control and... It doesn't entirely work , but the game tries really hard to make it work to the point it does for a good chunk of it. Bullet hitboxes are lenient and the quick respawns and a lot of level setups are such that it's never _too_ frustrating when you overshoot due to your jetpack and slam into a bullet (getting flung all over when you get hit mitigates frustration by being hilarious too). I think the issue only really rears its head in the last rooms with the eyeball "boss" (especially since if you miss the drill, more batteries DON'T spawn, so you're forced to kill yourself which is awkward), where it just gets TOO overwhelming to the point where it starts to become tiring.

I think the biggest thing this game could've used is just some score or a time limit, or something to really push you to want to replay it and try different strategies in each room-- I think that would've really added some good depth-- But it's still impressive that this game has so much and that so much of it is quality. Great job!

At first I was like, "where bullet?" But You delivered on the second level. Very well designed game I liked it a lot

Bullet hell is one of the genres that doesn't quite mix with 2D platformers. Still, the unstable platforms are a pretty neat implementation of the theme with nice visuals. Good work.

Fantastic. Loved the art, sound effects and the cute monsters. Tough challenge. The music was very good but I felt it didn’t fit the vibe perfectly.
