How does your game fit the theme?
Each "pilot" that gets dispatched is getting started in the Pit Testing Corps. First day on the job, baby. And if you stretch it then technically the whole game is 'just getting started' with the boss fight.

Really loved the game loved the intro loved the art it really looks so good loved the sound effects really well done also loved the boss fight and the respawn animation you made with the helicopter it gives broforce vibes really great game, also you can give my game a shot if you dont mind :).
the vibes of the game are really cool. I only got to about half health, skill issue on my part cause I suck at bullethell games, even more if on keyboard. I do like that each pilot has a chance of having a different weapon, I like the way that upgrades are given after a certain number of deaths (makes it easier for the folks, like me, that are not very good at bullethells) and it is all done in a humorous way. very good little game! ^-^
This game is pretty fun! The dash was a little weird but the art and music were good and it was pretty challenging!
Really sick, my Enter the Gungeon muscle memory kicked in and I STILL LOST haha. Great game, not much else to say.
If you could play and rate my game, I'd be super grateful.
I LOOOVE THIS GAME, but i suck at it...
Okay I will try to tell why, but it's a bit hard to explain... Like... The fact that there is a max count of lives to beat the boss gives such a tension, I was stressed all the time but also curious of what would come up next, when I saw that the character also changes weapon with time hyped me so much !
And I haven't even talked about the art and the MUSIC ! What a banger of a track !
Thank you for joining my stream. Here's a written review for you.
This is a very cool bullet hell game. It's very creative to use the number of pilots as health remaining. The music is cool, it really fits the game. The attack patterns are also really nice, I think it's the right difficulty for me, I just need to play a few more times to master dodging the projectiles. The dialogue was also really good.
I really enjoyed playing, good job!

absolutely amazing stream, fantastic
It was so much fun, but I have to admit I died a lot... and fast. Good thing I had plenty of soldiers to keep trying. I would’ve loved a smoother progression, especially for those of us who aren’t great at bullet hells. I couldn’t get past half the health bar, so I’m sure I missed a lot of what the game had to offer. I really liked the style, the variety of attack patterns, and even the tone of the dialogue.
Very difficult indeed! 🔥
The art direction and overall premise is good, the different types of attacks really keeps you on your toes, there were times when I feel like the character is too slippery to control, and the gaps in attack patterns are really tight, which means average player experience is just dying a lot, I'd suggest a slower pace, ease the player in and ramp up the difficulty slower.
I enjoyed the game quite a lot, good job guys!✨
the player actually used to be even slipperyier, and the difficulty only goes up as the boss health goes down so perhaps ease up on the gas, thank you absolutely fantastic
This game is quite good! Watching people do no hit runs in bullet hells always blows my mind. Crazy stuff.
I am not even remotely good enough at bullet hells to get close to beating the monster. I really want to keep trying but the fact that I spend more time in the spawning a new character animation than I do actually playing the game is killing my motivation. This is the kind of game where quickly getting back into the action is key.
That's not to say that the story presented and the dialogue of the in-betweens is bad, because I quite like those. I might try again at some point but not at this moment. Overall fun concept!
fair enough
I raged, got pretty angry with this game, but that's because i'm bad at bullet hells. The art style of the game is great, and it was pretty fun to play, enjoyed it in some way. I would like the tutorial not to repeat when you play again but nice work!
Hello fellow offline chatters! I really enjoyed this game, and I am so determined to beat it haha! I can get down to around 3 pips left in the life bar, but haven't beat it just yet. Maybe I need to do more dodging, but it's really fun game! I love Enter the Gungeon and other bullet hell style games so right up my ally with this one! Only thing I wish was a little more telegraphing or maybe slightly more time between move transitions as you get to the lower life bar moves. I know the abilities are named but... my brain seems to forget the names as I am playing and just goes into react mode haha! Great game, practice makes perfect so I'll definitely be trying it more to get it down!
the time between attacks starts at 1 second and in fact goes down the lower you get the boss' health
Really cool game! I like that there is a little variety in the way you shoot each life, though the dash could be buffed a little bit.
REALLLLLYYY good, honestly really nice :3
gotta be honest... i was originally going to write a review that was like "amazing game! It was unreasonably hard in some parts... but thats really just a skill issue on my part!" and then i realized.... i forgot there was a dash in the game.....
overall! great art and music! really nice attacks that keep you on your toes :3. I especially like the dodecahedron that spins around if you stay still for too long.
the onee thing i think would be useful would be if either: the dash lasted longer, there was some greater indication of the duration and activation of the dash, or if the dash made you faster than it does currently!
overall! great game, great concept, very cool :3333
the dash is already overpowered, i repeat, the dash makes the game so ez!!1!!11! though an indicator for when you dash would have made a fantastic addition, thank you kindly
Nice theming and art. Good job on a bullet hell for your first game.
I love the dark magenta and light yellow palette and the flavor text is nice. Maybe a meter that shows how long until your dash is ready would be nice?
Great bullet hell! I think dashing could be a bit more powerful, but other than that, it’s a great challenge
it was considered but most of the attacks are actually quite trivial if you have the dodge timing down, as you can just dodge through bullets, then walk back with them and repeat
I like how the website version kind of merges with the site seamlessly. Only nitpick for the gameplay is that maybe respawning could be a bit faster? Other than that great work.
Peak gameplay except(I don't play games a whole lot so take this with the tiniest grain of salt) for having to wait each time you die. Having to go through the dialogue each time kinda took me out of the immersion. Other than that, this was a fantastic game!
Neat bullet hell game! Artstyle looks clean and gameplay is fun and i like that there are different kind of pilots with different weapons. Good work!
I really like the graphics, and fun to play too, good job!
