Really clever idea to have the bullets come back! It was implemented nicely, too, with good movement. Nice job!

Clever concept! Like how the game transitions from a traditional shooter to a bullet hell type game

Developer

Thanks!!, 

Btw liked the dark ending of your game

A very cool idea, but the bullets should probably be slower and loop around in a way that can be predicted by the player so that because it is very difficult not to hit yourself, but also it adds strategy for when the player shoots.

Perhaps instead of the player having infinite bullets, they have a small amount of bullets and can only collect them after they go around the map a few times and slow down.

But besides that, this is a very cool idea that could be incorporated into a full game with a few tweaks.

Yes that was the initial plan of limiting bullets , but time was the issue. Thanks for suggestions well think on them and implement.

Wanted to make shooting a strategic decision.

Really dug the survival loop—you nailed that “just one more run” feeling! The pacing and threat escalation had me fully engaged. Solid work!

Developer

Thanks!!!

A very cool idea! I especially loved when I unlocked the movement module (I was terrified that I wouldn't be able to dodge until that point) and it's especially awesome to see your bullets come back and kill more enemies the second time around. That said, I should definitely learn NOT to shoot at myself like a madman.

Thanks!!!!

Really clever take on the looping theme! I loved how the bullets coming back to you force you to think carefully about every shot. The tutorial was well done and helped me get into the flow quickly. It took me a moment to realize how the bullets teleport across the circle instead of wrapping around the edges, but once I understood that, it felt really satisfying. Great job overall!

Nice take on the looping concept, I loved the way you set up the tutorial!

Developer

Thanks!!!!

Such a cool idea! The dynamic between wanting to shoot more bullets to take out enemies and knowing they'll come back to you is really interesting and fun to play around with. My only complaint is that it wasn't obvious to me how the bullets loop back around. I expected them to travel in a straight line to the edge of the map and reappear at the other side

Developer

Yeah the bullets can feel like that. So what really happens is that the bullets direct doesn't change rather onces that they hit the circles circumference they teleport to the diametercal opposite side. So in the end how ever you shoot the bullets do end up coming back to you

Fun game i like the concept of the bullets coming back to hurt u. art was cool i like the "Movement module added" XD great work

i like the infinite bullets =D it goes crazy

Clever concept, funny use of the theme. Excellent way to introduce it, too. However, the bullets seem to spawn almost sporadically since it's actually inside of the arena.

Developer

Yeah that can happen, so what the idea was that you must be careful about the how you shoot around and be mindful that the bullets do come back to you

Good game, it's doesn't really fit the theme but overall great concept👌

Developer(+1)

The concept is that it is a planet and the bullets loop back to you. So you are not safe from yourself
