Awesome game! Cool execution of the loop mechanic - works really well with the bullet hell style game. Got pretty hectic after a few loops haha. Would love to see some more weapons/upgrades for the player! Great job!
amazing game loved the visuals and the mechanic it really was nothing like the rest of the game other games where more of die and come back stronger but your take on the theme and having to follow and the circle and dodge was really amazing and can you try and rate my game like i did to yours i would really appreciate that thx
Wow, having a bullet hell where you are forced to dodge all the bullets a second time, even your own, is evil genius! I really enjoyed your game. Great work.
really enjoyed the gameplay of this. The visuals are also very nice! great work
Game is a bit loud, (audio options would be nice), and the ability to fullscreen would be nice. That said, concept is awesome, gameplay is really enjoyable. Really good entry.
Amazing execution of the loop theme, I really enjoyed this game. Well done!
What a great core gameplay loop. I really enjoyed the challenge of having to avoid the projectiles twice and needing to remember where I had been. Super enjoyable, great stuff :) Would be great if you gave our game a go and gave us a rate, we really wanna know what you think.
I quite enjoy this game, short fast and to the point, pretty cool game. The bullet hell phase is so hard XD, would be nice to have some kinda thing you can do in the bullet hell phase (shield? parry? maybe?).
Very polished, and I liked the looping mechanic a lot.
Very satisfying little game! The graphics and audio seem really professional. Having to survive the level in reverse after completion is a fun concept that was implemented really well here. Some pickups or upgrades would be my most wished for thing in this project.
Pretty creative to have our past self as the protector, I love the art too!
Its an interesting idea for sure and well executed, I think u were too generous with the hearth drops unless I missed something beacuse it felt like it would just keep going forever
YOO this idea is so good, like a reverse matrix, I got hooked, i got to wave 9 (hope there wasn't some big boss on wave 10 TwT), the background music is cool too, but really the reverse movement idea is peak. I'd make the cirlce bigger but it's alr. Also - why no fullscreen grr
