This is something so well polished, I didn't expect this at all from the thumbnail - I agree with the other commenters that it could be affecting how much people missed the game at their loss!

The visuals are fun too, everything is consistent but simple, enemies are fun, particle and shooting effects make this better.

Finally, lots of attention to detail!

Thanks for the gem!

This is a really really solid entry. I didn't expect to have so much fun testing this. Im really impressed by the projectiles. They seem visually kinda ephemeral but the colision are crisp as can be. 

What a GEM! I think there's like 2-3 games that are absolute top at this JAM and this is one of them.
Before you even start the game, you can notice a few basic options and details, like hovering the quit button, such an elegant detail (same when you die but at different speed). And then the transitions too... 

Everything audio related was amazing, but the soundtrack was really impressing. I would have posted this reply ~ 30' ago, but I keep jumping from video to video on Ansimuz's youtube channel, went to check out the audio, stayed for the dozens of cyberpunk city timelapses. So thank you for that, putting light on some amazing creators. 

Back to your game, everything looks so good and it's so clean. You know what you have to do at any point, what stage are you on etc. The units, splashes, shakes, effects - style and executions are very good. 

At start I thought the SHRINK mechanic wasn't enough, till I had better survive rate with last life in 2 consecutive rounds. Oh, I guess size do matter! as in easier to dodge them bullets. 

And yes, I can do better. Thanks for believing in me <3

Very nice and pretty fun! The action is rather fast-paced, and the bullet-hell aspect is really well done!

The only 2 problems I found are that 1. the base movement speed is so slow that 3-4 sneaker upgrades are basically a necessity; 2. Enemy can spawn ON you, and their types seem completely random from the available pool. I've had waves 1-2 harder than 8-9 spawn.

Overall, very good work, has a lot of potential!

(Sorry to hear you got ill, I hope you're better now!)

you're right! i am disappointed! that was really fun and i was having a great time! i wanted more!! c:

Your visual design is great, audio is minimal but it works in your favour, enemies are interesting and varried, you put a lot of effort into this and it shows! you should be really proud of what you made c:

I'm so happy that I beat the Hard difficulty without restarting on my First try. The game was well challenging and fun. The visual was fine, but the color codes were a bit too similar. Projectiles, pickups, and I do understand why there was an option to disable particles.

"congrats!!!" (on normal difficulty)

I had a lot of fun! The game looks great and the edge shaking, the small lag when killing an enemy, the catchy sound feedbacks and the perfect controls and speeds of everything make it feel notably good to play. The different enemies all have their own threat to propose (the last ones which launch a pattern representing a picture are specially cool) and the difficulty is perfect for the jam, it took me a couple of tries and the game was satisfying to beat.

Thanks for sharing!

One of the most fun games I've played in the jam so far, but holy cow is it hard lol. Wasn't ever able to make it to the second boss unfortunately. Character was really slow and looking at your screenshots it looks like you are moving way faster then I was ever able to even with the speed upgrades. Not sure why
