dang it is a hard game, fun though to beat your own levels! Hoping for a leaderboard in the future 🔥
A leaderboard sounds like a sick idea mate! Thanks for the suggestion, also congrats for the highscore :)
Very nice bullet hell
thanks! :D
Cool Idea very well executed for such a short time span. I really liked the music, the patterns were very cool to look but it got really hard really quickly. The art and the sound effects were minimalistic but effective and enjoyable. I think a smoother difficultly curve might have been better but maybe bullet hell pros prefer this.
Would absolutely love it if you could check out my game as well and let me know what you thought!
Hey thanks for taking the time to check it out!!
You're right, a smoother difficulty curve at the start would work better for a wider audience. I'll make sure to add easier stages/settings in future releases!
Hey, we kinda had a similar idea! I love the music in this game, and it totally fits. Relaxing music + the most insane challenge is kinda perfect to me. The game gets really hard really fast and I could only get 33900 points. But I still like it a lot. (our game is leaning more on SHMUP than bullet hells). I also like the theme around a music box with a little dancer.
Thanks!! Happy you enjoyed the theme. Also, that's a very good score congrats :D
i took some time for me to understand i am actually shooting myself in the back. i enjoyed it, quite dense for my taste.
- Music does not fit, game is already very dense. an upbeat music distracted me.
-in bullethells you usually hold attack always. in that sense it was a great paradigm shift.
Really glad you caught the little twist on the genre I was trying to pull.
(also, didn't mention this in the game page, you can also hit the boss with your "looped"bullets!)
I'm sorry the music distracted you, I'll try and choose more fitting tunes for future versions.
Thanks for taking the time to play it! <3
Cool concept, although very difficult. Is it a high-score type of game? The patterns and the audio took me into a trance, very nice job on those :)
yes! It's a high-score type of game (especially because I've put so much time in the bullet engine that I had the time to do just one boss, so it has to last! haha)
For future releases, I'll work on singular stages with different bosses, and there will be score-based ranks.
Thanks for playing!!
Game is a bit too difficult for me personally, but I like the way the bullets are laid out. Music is enjoyable too.
Thanks for cheking it out!!
The game is indeed really difficult, taking note I need to add a difficulty setting.
