How does the game fit the theme?
"The longer you risk, the sweeter the cookie becomes."
In the game, players face a boss and a variety of bullet patterns. Players must remain still to charge up a devastating attack. The longer you remain stationary, the more exponentially the damage growth rate skyrockets. The ultimate goal of the game is to defeat the boss and achieve a high score by dealing as much damage as possible in a single hit (the boss's health is limited, but the damage dealt in one hit is virtually uncapped. Therefore, to achieve a score higher than the boss's health, players must continuously charge energy to deal a sufficiently high amount of damage in one go. However, this also means that every second carries the risk of death and losing all accumulated energy).
Players only have 1-3 chances to get hit (depending on the difficulty), meaning every second is a risk. Will you choose to unleash the energy you've already accumulated, or will you risk losing it all to continue building up even more? This is a test for the player.

Really nice game! The visuals are very charming, the audio is also very nice, and the game reminds me a bit of Deltarune and JSAB with all the dodging :D
I found the game to be a bit difficult at first, but once I got used to it, it wasn't so bad :)
There was a problem with entering your name for the leaderboard though. Because the R key is linked to retrying, you can't put an R in your name, and since I use the name Yoru everywhere, I retried like 8 times or something before finally discovering the problem and using a 3 instead of and R. Now I don't really mind this, because the game was fun to play anyways, but I think other people could get annoyed at this :)
I think this was also the problem with the other guy, since he also had an R in his username.
I believe currently I'm first on the easy leaderboards. I really enjoyed the game, and probably one of the most addictive and polished games I've played so far :D
Thanks so much for the feedback! I’m pretty sure that’s the problem. I’ll need to update the description on the submission page. Thanks again! (o゜▽゜)o☆
awesome game! I like the art, its vibrant and catchy. The controls are smooth and responsive, I'm playing against a tough boss , the projectiles are challenging . This has good replay value, Overall, I enjoyed playing this ! congratulations! keep it up!
