Jam
I only joined in the last 5 days of the jam, but the restriction was really interesting and I might make some low rez games outside of this jam.
I'd prefer fewer themes with more possible interpretations.

Incredible game! I love the art and the catchy music.
But I was always bad at bullet hell so I couldn't get past phase 3(

Really nice bite sized bullet hell! The music fit great. I found the last phase challenging, and agree that the player hitbox could be a little more forgiving. I did appreciate respawning at the current phase rather than from the beginning.

Awesome a bullet hell game :) It was pretty good nice job on big attacks and bullet patterns ! It has a very cute mood with these fun dialogues between witches ! Very nice job!

Awesome, always love a good bullet hell!

I don't enjoy my comically large witch hat being a part of my hitbox and certain attack transitions being unavoidable (like black crescent moon exiting upwards right into black bullet streams), but other than that, I enjoyed every second of it!

I did manage to beat it in one life with enough tries, but I still feel the need to no-hit the whole thing...

That works so well, and only with 5 days of jam, congrats ! This is super nice

Veeeery nice, you spent your devving time very well and efficiently! I didn’t think having a pact with a time traveling god would work though…

Nice bullet hell, I got wrecked by the last phase!

This one is pretty insane. Phase 3 was way too difficult for me though. I feel this fight would serve as a crazy final boss type of enemy for a full game.

Awwwwesome! Love the graphics and the nice snappy combat.

And our witches kind of look alike! Maybe they are sisters :D

Developer

That's a cool coincidence how similar they look. Also I played your game and I enjoyed it.

Really neat little bullet hell game, as a fellow witch shmup dev I approve. Sadly my skills were not great enough to get through phase 3, the ha being a hitbox is rough with all the diagonal cross bombs and crescents. Cool job in 5 days.

Graphics were nice, sadly audio levels are way to loud.

It is really cool, really liked intro dialog. The gameplay is really smooth for something done in 5 days. Good job!

I like the music, sprites, and sounds, they all work really well! The controls could feel a bit tighter though, especially the delay between two consecutive dashes

Developer

Thanks for the feedback :) another person commented about the dash being too short and it might be because you have to hold the button down, so I'll add that to the controls on the page

Submitted(+1)

I liked the aesthetics, although I think the dash should be faster. Good job.

Really nice art style, and just challenging enough. I loved the character portraits, and punchy effects. But honestly the cloud background was so beautiful it was probably my favourite part! Nice work.
