Really unique visual style, and completely reasonable setting and plot.

It was a bit hard to tell what was going on at first though.

i was vibing with this game hard. love it! things to polish here and there but i was digging the aesthetic a lot, and the shield was honestly a cool mechanic for this kind of game that i haven't seen much at all. it makes it approachable for people like me who suck at bullet hell games.

i started laughing when the song ended and it was just silence occasionally broken by two guitar notes ad infinitum.

This game has a super charming aesthetic! And it has a lot of really well executed details such as the bullets vanishing when you get hit or beat a boss phase. The effect when you get hit is a little disorienting and a bit jarring, but I also kinda loved it. The two main issues polish-wise I found were the fact the (kinda confusing) menu disappears completely when you return from beating a boss, and the game lagging a lot on the web build when a bunch of bullets are cleared. I found the reflect mechanic pretty fun to use and I found the bullet patterns quite engaging with the first two bosses, but the last boss had a very bizarre difficulty curve where the first phase felt near impossible until I realized you could just ignore the bees and move up to the creature itself and hit it. I don't even know if you can kill the bees or if they're just decoys, so some more clarity there would also have been good. Overall, I think this is a solid starting point for a good shmup!

Better than I expected! Reflect really helped to deal with the projectiles and allowed the enemies be more aggressive with how much they send my way.

Oh man, badass music, neat style and good bullet patterns. I think the lack of bullet feedback sounds makes things less impactful, but overall I think this is polished and a good jam project :)
Good job!

The art is interesting, and the gameplay is so good. The bullet patterns are amazing and I really like that you can see the hitbox :) Quality bullethell for sure

Cool idea! I liked all the enemies and their patterns. Though the movement speed felt a bit slow and I could easily reflect all the attacks by spamming K. Otherwise, great effort :D

I like the concept! The reflection mechanic is very interesting. I will say I did find it hard to understand what was happening at first, even after reading the game page. Other than that, however, it's a great concept and I'm excited to see where this game goes from here! Good work :)

When enemies give you lemons, return to sender envelope and all :p

Jokes aside it is pretty fun and the artstyle is pretty good as well, it has that oldschool flash game vibe to it which i like ^^

Main issue here is the slowdown with the smoke effect, every time i died the game slowed to a crawl O_o so this needs a bit of optimization.

Other than this its a cool shooter :)

The art was cool the concept is fun, gameplay wise froze a bit for me at times, maybe it was my potato pc, but overall a cool experience, the reflective shield was also a nice touch!

I like it! Loved the art, and trippy feel to.

Starting the level and death seemed a bit inconsistent (I had -2 lives at one point?)

Great submission, I really liked the bullet patterns!

The hand draw style is nice! The reflect shot was unpredictable so I didn't find it very useful, and I think after beating all the enemies the game locked up. Cool idea!
