Really like this entry, nicely challenging, with a bunch of cool little additions to the genre (bonus pickups and dashes were neat).

Absolutely loved those chromatic aberration and fisheye effects, it gave a really solid retro arcade feel. 

My only suggestion would be to give the dash a small little invulnerability frame, as I found myself getting a little swarmed with bullets, hoping to dash out the way only to get smacked in the face by a bullet I thought I was dashing past (oops!).

Good fun, lots of replayability, nice entry!

I can tell this game has a lot of love put into it. There's a lot of little details that really come together to make it a really fun package... Minus a few gamefeel issues that I felt brought things down a tad; but it's still probably one of the best games I've played this Jam. Primarily, I just thought your shots were way too slow, even after multiple firerate upgrades, which doesn't help when later enemies just have so much HP; and combined with this, I thought that waves were way too long and the fact that they were a static timer instead of being affected by how many enemies the player kills takes away some of the agency from the player; plus I think in general waves being shorter would make it feel more appropriately "unstable",  since you'd have the "random effects" happening a lot more frequently! But I mention these issues because they are to me noticeable spots on an otherwise very impressive solid package. Great work here!

Cool game!

Level 3 felt like such a huge difficulty spike, wow! I think adding some i-frames after getting hit would be nice, otherwise you can easily lose 5+ health at once if you happen to be in a bad position when the enemies fire.

The visuals are really cool and the game is fun to play. Good job!

I WIN (after around 5 big runs).

I had a lot of fun playing, The game feels super good and there's plenty of unique content : the enemies, the passives to buy, the special events. I like the shop because you want many things but not all will appear and you won't be able to buy everything either, you might have to abandon a cool passive to buy your first damage or your first increased bullet rate upgrades you've been craving for instead because you've been shooting 5 bullets which deal no damage, that's super cool. In the same vein when you're doing big damage it might mean your health is not very well protected, the game is frantic, tense and all the more fun in these cases. The set of enemies is really good, they're all quite unique and the boss fight are fun especially when you're making at least some damage.

Great one!

Wow, this game looks so dope and it feels really nice and juicy too :)

Terrific game! had fun playing it. visuals were great, simple but effective. Also there was enough variety to keep you guessing. Good job!

I absolutely love the art! A few bits of text were too small to read, but that's not a big problem. Other than that it's a really fun game! Great work :D

I died on level 3 a couple times like others mentioned (suffering from skill issues), but otherwise has a lot of fun! I really like the roguelike elements and how well all the art fits together, super pretty! 

I just dove into this one and had a blast from start to finish. The moment it kicked off, I was totally sold on that retro, CRT-filtered look—enemy icons and pixel art really pop, even if that filter sometimes makes tiny shop text a bit fuzzy. Gameplay is super responsive, and I love the upgrade system letting you stack multiple tiers at once—it feels way more flexible than those “one upgrade per level” roguelikes.

The soundtrack is an absolute hype machine, perfect for those insanity ramps at higher stages. Speaking of which, level 3 smacked me with a big difficulty jump—some extra healing or a checkpoint between stages would have been sweet. A few folks mentioned life-steal or more heart drops would help, and I agree. The UI hiccups (buttons not lining up perfectly under the post-processing) are minor but worth ironing out.

Instant action and quite fun !

I really digged this one, i love the very retro style and the enemy icons designs, gameplay wise everything is nice and responsive, the upgrade system is also pretty cool, and i like how you’ve let players buy multiple tiers at once since the only limit is the price and not “1 upgrade per level end” like in many rogue likes.

The tune is incredible as well and really hypes you up for the insanity that comes especially on the harder levels.

I’m just a bit on the fence about the CRT filter, while i think it looks great and really adds to the character of the game, sometimes in the shop where there’s smaller text it makes it a bit hard to read i.m.o

So i don’t think you should get rid of it, but the readability of text could be a problem :/

Other than that Great entry ! ^^

Incredibly fun! I kinda wish there were more opportunities to heal, but otherwise it felt great to play.

The crt/chromatic aberration filter is great, but it kinda messes with the UI a bit too much. The hud near the top of the screen is a tad difficult to read, and some buttons don't completely match where they appear on the screen. These are easily solved though, just make the hud bigger for the first, and give the game a custom mouse that's rendered before any post processing takes place for the second (buttons will still be displaced, but the mouse will be displaced with them).
