i 'm a simple guy. i see a looping grid background, i like what i see. this felt really good to play. like kyle below i also hit the point where the difficulty leveled off and i had to get myself killed on purpose, but i really enjoyed locking in and dodging between the different counter bullets. it reminded me of the higher difficulties in Ikaruga. Great work!
hahaha thank you! I'm pretty unfamiliar with shmups so I had to do a lot of research for this game, but if it reminded you of a shmup then my goal is achieved, so great to hear :) thanks for playing!
Great-feeling shmup! I think I reached a kill screen after about 5 and a half minutes though lol - if you get rainbow bullets and upgrade past that it crashes the game, it looks like.
I really like the onion attack vs the asteroid attack forcing you to deal with them differently, it creates a great dynamic even very early on. Though, I think momentum is super important, since killing enemies early on and getting as many attack upgrades as possible is really what lets you stay ahead of the curve. At a certain point, the difficulty levels off since your attack power is high enough to almost instantly shred anything onscreen, and once you're shredding all those enemies, you get enough shield and health upgrades to not need to worry about taking damage nearly as much either. Oh, and at that point, the sound effects get a little overwhelming and crunchy as so many damage sounds stack up on top of one another at the same tiem.
Good patterns, hitboxes felt very fair, definitely hit that flow state! The music also fits the vibe great and helps ease into the flow effectively for me.
The shooting mechanisms are very smooth! I love the different attack patterns that you need to defend. Definitely makes me want to play again to see if you can best my previous round.
Fun little game! Ended up surviving till 2:02. The attack patterns kept me on my toes the whole time. Gonna echo the comment that the controls are nice and snappy. Great work!
Fun gameplay loop! Controls feel very tight and snappy. I love that there are sound effects as you type. I think I discovered a hidden keybinding where pressing Space restarts the song lol.
Very fun! You get in a real flow state playing the game. I do think I ended up getting a "kill" screen when I upgraded my weapon enough (had rainbow and game crashed on next upgrade lol).

I'm glad you enjoyed :) thanks fot the in depth feedback, super glad to hear that you went into flow state!
Good stuff! The onion's attack seems so easy to dodge, and yet it gets me every time.
