Pretty fun gameplay with a cool gimmick. Definitely felt a lot like Touhou. The art was nice to. My only complaint is that the difficulty ramped up really fast. Although I guess that's understandable since it's a short jam game.

Super hard but super cool! really traditional style! i wish games like this would explain what power is exactly or how much of it i need to upgrade my gun, but  i know that's not the style so it shouldn't really reflect in the review. I originally thought "why would i ever get out of blue form if i can break the big bullets" only to realize in a later run that the spread shot is great for enemies i can't get directly behind, though i wish that the red form also had a bit to show me what my actual hitbox was, as that gets a bit confusing.

But that's emergent gameplay! as a player i'm learning and developing strategies while playing! which is an incredibly good sign, i think this is belongs as a top pick honestly.

very cool game. i beat it like 3 times just from how cool it is. and the art was so good and well made. the background was so cool and clever. the bullets pattern was so fun to dodge. and the shrinking ray was really cool idea. also thanks for making the player kinda invincible so you dont restart from the beginning especially for bullet hell nobies like me lmao. great work, the game was so much fun :D

I don't think I've come a cross a submission thus far that has stayed as true to the bullet hell genre. I am extremely impressed by this, especially the visual component. Everything else is peak too, honestly. I don't have any critiques. Masterful entry.

I loved this. The art is beautiful and the game system is interesting. Very generous with resources but the final spell was no joke (at least going in blind) so I needed that.

Is there a way to see your high score? I believe I got a high 2XXXXX.

Stage clear with 369566, no lives or bombs remaining LOL

Basically my favorite submission of the jam

Very touhou-ular but the slurping up of point items felt really appealing and the spritework was awesome

both bombs felt good to use and I liked hoovering up score extends from them

I got Touhou vives from this, and damn I liked it a lot, the art is also very nice, the shrinking mechanic was really fun to use, I didn't expect it to work so well, the difficulty between pattern felt a bit hard to me, some were very easy and some were very very hard.

STAGE CLEARED! I scored 356148 points.

The game is plain fantastic, my favourite so far, 6 stars in every category. Dodging is great, shrinking bullet mechanics is great, bombing the hell out of everything is great. The game is specially tense as (unless you're good but I'm not ;) ) you're constantly in need of an extra bomb or an extra life, the game was super satisfying to beat, the difficulty was perfect for the jam for me.

Thanks for sharing!

Fantastic bullet hell game!

Your idea of theme interpretation with enemy projectiles shrinking under fire is neat, it's kinda like those flaming suns in the second stage of Gradius V lol.

The 3D transitions in the background look really cool.

I liked this a lot, feels very polished!

Excellent art and style. Feels great to play. Good use of the theme with the shrinking of large bullets to get bomb juice.
