you were right, the main menu music is really really good! (just like the rest of the soundtrack). The gameplay and controls are really solid and the only suggestion i would give is being able to skip dialogue bc i died a lot before being able to finish the first level and it would be nice to be able to start again a little faster. Great game i'm sorry about the bug but still 10/10!
This game is SO GOOD. I loved the combat so much, and I wish you had been able to fix the crash before the jam ended because I would LOVE to play more of this. AMAZING work!!
First Of All the Art and Music is great, you did a great job on that. I do feel like the controls are a bit weird but i think thats just me cus i play with mouse and keybord more. Other than that you did great.
Amazing art and presentation I could see getting this if I saw it on Steam. I did manage to finish the first level but I immediately crashed a few lines of dialogue into the next cutscene.
Thanks! Yeah that crash is a problem, an issue with the way I handled planets in my scripts I think.
I'm no good with bullet hell games. The first stage was too difficult to clear, so I unfortunately can't corroborate the bug Travotavo is describing. That's a skill issue, though and the gameplay itself seemed solid without any glaring flaws. The aesthetic, on the other hand, is peak. The art deco theming was really neat, and both of the songs I got to hear were complete bangers. I'd be interested to see credits for those.
Thanks so much! As for credits, everything in the game was done by me, including both of those songs! If you want to listen to them again (without bullets flying at you) ive got them linked on the main game page.
My game crashed on loading into the first shop (or at least that's what I presume it was). Otherwise, it's a classic bullet hell with cute art! Great work!
Also I would be remiss to neglect to mention the awesome music, sad I couldn't play more
Thanks so much, the music was one of my favorite parts of working on it. That crash, however, is due to my weak spots in programming. Wish I could have more content, but that skill needs improvement and hindered my development.
