This game rules!
Saved it for around the end 'cause I knew it'd be good, sorry for leaving it 'til last minute.
Really fun gameplay, and the bosses were great with very nice tells, (some'd get ya if you hadn't seen it already, but that's to be expected in this kind of game, knowledge is king. Made it up to the serpent boss, but only had 2 hearts on my last life, so not enough hp in reserve to learn the pattern. Fire took one, dodged the second, got lunged ^^;;
I think I could get it next time, I'll definitely share it around though, there's a few people in my friend group that'd really appreciate this I think.
Started out rough, lost 2 lives in the intro, but had better luck in the boss fights.
Also finding my groove and quick tapping up and right helped a ton with fights.
Awesome game, graphics were a bit much for the system but outside of that pretty flawless, amazing work
Thanks for playing, I'm glad it clicked! Making it to the serpent is farther than most (and he is the end boss!)
Fun bullet hell, I just legged it.
I beat an early mini boss, eventually, but it is a hard game and the lead-in felt drawn out. Possibly a skill issue, but no one imagines losing when its their own game.
The audio was loud! VOD here (skip to 1hr) https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2801841931
Thank you very much for taking a vod, with lots of thoughts expressed! Just legging it is what you're supposed to do in this genre!
Good to know about the sound, I haven't gotten any feedback about the volume. Most people just turn down their computer I suppose.
The intro should have been skippable by pressing start, by the way.
Quite possibly the best art of any game I have ever seen in a gamejam! Fabulous work; may the jam gods smile upon Dasia.
Wow that's some high praise, thank you!
Fun game !
Tried multiple times but the game froze around the boat / medusa on the web version.
Note that on a controller you can press B repeatedly making it a machine gun.
Thanks for playing!
Yeah the freezing is frustrating. I really need to nail down what's going on with web stuff.
Also you should be able to hold down B and have it rapid fire, like in shmups and later contra games, so machine gun is not a problem!
