Fan of the SFX and art style
Fun little concept. I kind of wish I had more health, as getting one shot and instantly losing kind of sucks. Overall cool idea.
The game is pretty slow paced, but I think it's fine because it forces you to think about every shot. I do wonder if there could be less downtime in between spawns. Either way, great game, I had fun.
Really Fun. Good balance of difficulty and i think the enemy design was really cool
Thanks alot for the feedback :D. Glad you liked the enemy design
Neat idea :)
I think the gameplay could be improved: the fact that enemies spawn at random places introduces too much stress if they end up too close, and at the same time it incurs long waiting times when nothing happens. I think just having the enemies move from outside the screen towards some location inside would fix that.
Still, very nice submission!
I'm glad you like my idea! Regarding the enemy spawns, I do agree that the randomness can feel stressful in this game. At first, I wanted to have a spawn animation for the enemies, so that the player can notice their positions before spawn, but I ran out of time. But having enemies approach from outside the screen also sounds interesting. I'll be sure to look into that when I update this game.
Again, thank you a lot for the feedback :D
Nice idea for theme
Fun concept, makes you think before shooting. With some more polish I could see this become a pretty good bullet hell game
Thank you so much for playing! I'll be sure to update this game after the voting ends. Very glad you like my game idea.
Great idea !
Great idea !
simple and enjoyable. movements feel smooth and the limited ammo keeps u engaged without being overwhelming. rough edges aside the core idea is genuinely solid. great work.
Nice game.. very smooth movements, bit more of the game and ading music will really complete the game.

Great application of the theme, I could see this concept becoming really satisfying if there was a bit more fodder enemies so you could stack up some bullets/make the challenge lining up multiple enemies to stack up more bullets. Good work overall!
Neat idea! I think there is just a little bit too much time spent waiting for the next wave, but it was satisfying gaining bullets with careful shots. Some more sound effects and music would definitely help. The enemies probably shouldn't spawn on top of you either. That happened once.
Overall it's simple but I enjoyed it.
Thanks for reply :D
yeh I think creating the waves system gave me the most headaches out of everything, and it's still bugged. I was planning on spawing a new wave of enemies only if the player kills all the other enemies from the current wave (you know... like a normal enemy wave system). But after completing the first wave, no new enemies were spawing and still idk why. So I just made it time based instead.
Glad you liked it though
Nice little game, Keep up the good work!
Nice to see a bullet hell here! it's one of my favourite genres! : )
I really like the limited amount of bullets, adds a unique level of challenge!
Though I think i encountered a bug sometimes, when an enemy spawned on top of me and so died instantly. I think some music could also lend to the tension of the puzzle solving!
Good Effort! : )
Thank you so much for the feedback :D
Glad you like the idea of a bullet hell with limited bullets. I was gonna make music for the game, but ran out of time unfortunately,
I also procrastinated somewhat in this jam but anyway.Still not sure if ill update this game in the near future. But IF I do, the music and the enemy spawn bug would definitely be the first things im fixing.
I'll be sure to check out your game too. Seems interesting :D
Wish there was a bit more feedback when you get hit and when you hit an enemy. I quite like the idea of having a limited amount of bullets in a genre when you normally have unlimited.
Unfortunately, I think there is a bug when you click continue it automatically shoots a bullet.
Overall, pretty cool idea, good game, nice job :)
I like the controls. Good Job.
