Use of the limitation
I interpreted the theme as every action you take has a cost. not only do shooting, dodging, and upgrading your forge cost you your sparks, but they also come at the cost of each other since they are all using the same limited resurce.

I like it! The game is pretty fun and balanced. Art is cool. Limitation is very well used as well. I think it's pretty impressive for a jam game. Great work!!
I liked that you have to choose between charging the forge and killing eye things!
Amazing game! Very fun and well polished. It's really easy to understand what you are supposed to do, while still being a well balanced and challenging experience. I love the fact that it offers two difficulty modes. Now I have to get a decent score on hard.
Liked that it's minimalistic, simple but very high skill ceiling. Nice completed self contained idea, great job!
I feel seen
From the looks alone, this looks great! The gameplay is also solid. Great entry
1200 on hard, really great game, just everything seems good to me
you are better then me at my own game
Cool game! Love the art and many enemies.
The greatest game I've ever played. How long have I been playing? Time is an illusion.
Honestly such a great, compact and polished game. Beautiful work!
that's so cool to hear. what was your top score?
1528 in hard, but I'm gunning for that 2100+. I fear the monster that accomplished that
I would love a full version of this. I had a great time trying to optimize the game, i missed some music tho.
thank you so much. unfortunately, I can't make music, not yet at least. this is the task I plan to work on.
The game is great either way, i just wanted to play more and a catchy tune could help the grind.
Awesome game!
Great job :) super fun and felt polished
Very fun and I'm surprised how good this game is good job!
I am looking for feedback. so if you have any thoughts about the game leave them in the comments

I'm a sucker for challenging games . and I keep making my games too hard from the start
