I ran this on Linux through Wine, so I wasn't expecting it to work - I was able to use the 2nd window to control the 1st, but it was blank and I kept dying - still 5/5 for creativity, I'm assuming there's more outside the box stuff hidden :)

Developer

Thanks for giving it a shot anyways. I also appreciate the 5/5 rating!

Its a fun bullet hell. I kind of wish that it didnt reset after a loop is finished. But maybe its part of the design that its difficult and requires more precision. Either way good job!

Developer

Thanks! But what do you mean by "reset after a loop is finished"? Did you make it to phase 2?

no, but I tried again now, and 20 deaths later Im still stuck on loop 3 (: I think Im just not very good at this game hahaha

Developer

Sorry if the way forward wasn’t obvious, that’s on me. If you're stuck, maybe take the window captions a bit more literally... they’re not just for flair. ( hint: you dont actually have to survive the waves to progress . try to find a way to break out )

Creativity: Expected, but I give extra points to the change of the window's name
Enjoyment: I very much liked the game, still, it's a little too hard for me
Narrative: Fantastic work
Art: effective
Audio: I believe there's none
I look forward to the post jam version!

Developer
