The game was phenomenal, played through twice and while I had a hard time on my first run, the second went a lot better, solid game, solid art, and good use of theme, definitely hope you add more in the future!
Love the art work and music. Never really play shoot 'em ups/bullet hells but this is pretty neat. I think that the bullets/projectiles themselves should be allot smaller though, or make the play area allot bigger so more manoeuvrability options, maybe? Boss was a little tedious in the end too, but as previously stated I'm not familiar with this genre so could just be standard design. Overall though really liked this submission, well done! Looking forward to playing more stuff in the future!!
I had easy mode turned off but I still had unlimited continues? Not complaining, but possible bug?
Thanks for the feedback! I'll definitely think about bullet size and the boss hp some more. Turning on the player hitbox indicator might help avoid bullets if you haven't tried that yet.
EDIT: I should also mention in case you aren't using it much, the "focus" mode of firing is really important for damage output as well as maneuverability.
As for the infinite continues, that was on purpose for this submission. I wanted it to be accessible for anyone that isn't as skilled at these types of games but wants to get to the end. And you can always restart when you die instead of continuing if you want a little more challenge. A full game version will probably have a limit of some kind, but I haven't thought that through yet.
A solid game overall. You should definitely make this a full experience.
Thanks! I probably will keep working on it in the future to make it a full game. Already starting to think about what I want to add next haha.
I'm impressed by how well polished this game feels for 2 weeks of work! The images were fantastic, the controls were very intuitive, overall it was a great game!
Thank you! I really appreciate it! Luckily I had quite a bit of free time during this game jam (although more time certainly would have been nice, haha) so I wanted it to be as polished as I could make it. I'm glad that effort came through.
Cool game, for some reasons it reminds my one flash game which I used to play.
Fun bullet hell game. Good job!
It would have been nice to see more of the story in game, but time constraints happen. There were a lot of little things we wish we had gotten to as well.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, I wish I had the time to make a proper intro/outro and flesh out a story, but I ended up spending way too much time trying to get some decent art haha. Might add something to it in the near future.

I don't have much to say about it except what PapaGarv already said: check out the game page for story and controls, which is kind of important. It sure looks nice though.
Story and controls are detailed on the game's page, so be sure to click that before downloading.
