I got sucked into this one and played a bunch of runs.  I still haven't beaten wave 10, but not for lack of trying!

It definitely took me a while to get used to the ship's inertia, as well as the fact that I didn't actually want to be dodging bullets much of the time.  I hit a bit of a wall in my first few runs, but once I started using dash as my primary attack, things really opened up.  I feel like the timers for spinning and dashing are perfectly calibrated for the waves of enemies, and you can kind of settle into a rhythm with them.

Super-fun, addictive game, and a really cool twist on the standard bullet-hell formula.  I had a blast with it.  Awesome job!

i loved the mechanic of spinning to collect bullets and sending it back at enemies 

took me a while for my lack of bullethell skill to go away but this is a great lil game. dash meta OP.  i also particularly enjoyed needing to spin to enter the game hahah, good way to have the tutorial embedded in the gameplay!

This is a great twist on your average bullet hell, really interesting!
A small tweak that would improve player feedback a bit would be if the dash invulnerability didn't look like a hit invulnerability blink? I wasn't always sure if I had been hit or it was just dash invulnerability. Otherwise great stuff!

Really fun game! I love the spinning mechanic and the fact that I have to get the bullet back from the enemies are so interesting. Though I do find the movement a bit challenging especially when I am spinning. I'm assuming its direction based maybe making it not direction based when spinning would make it better(?) The visuals are cleann and the audio is pretty fitting! Overall, its a really good game! Great work!

Really cool game! I like that you have to steal bullets to shoot. I really like the overall feel to it and the gameplay is fun as well! Awesome job!

A fun little arcade shooter! We've already discussed what would've been my main complaint in Discord, so all I really have to say is that I like the music and SFX and think the game could use a bit more VFX (engine trails definitely). Overall solid game!

Interesting take on the classic shooter!  Reloading by grabbing the enemy's bullets was a good take!

Fun spin (eheh) on this kind of game. Gobbling up enemy bullets and shooting back was very satisfying. I completely forgot the dash existed first attempt, and it made the second run a lot easier once I had gotten used to playing without it lol.

Art did the job, but the flat spaceships didn't really feel cohesive with the background, some cool designs on the ships would've been welcome - the few that had something extra looked better, but the player ship especially could have used some fanciness. Not a huge deal really.

I did run into a bit of a nasty bug where some ships and bullets both just stopped moving and stayed stuck in place. The bullets acted like they were still "active" and could do damage, and I could even absorb them, but they would just turn blue and stay on the level, they wouldn't orbit me and I couldn't shoot them (although it would still play the shooting SFX as if I was). Obviously hard to tell from a static screenshot but everything here (enemies and bullets) is just still. Can see from the yellow ones on the left just stacking up like that and that blue one in the bottom left hasn't been fired by me.

Overall it's a solid entry and pretty fun, definitely a very good first game.

I can’t steer for the life of me lol. Is really fun though. Needing to manage the spin meter was great, prevented you from just avoiding all the damage. The dash attack/move was also a nice addition, helped a lot in later waves with the i-frames.

Love the gameplay! 

At first I thought, okay, I catch bullets like Neo in the Matrix, how hard could this be? Turns out: pretty hard. But that's more a skill based issue than I can blame the game design here, you've got a full moveset and the waves increase in challenge at a steady rate. You're generous with health without trivializing the game either. I thought the crucial  forward dot was maybe a little difficult to see at times, and some polish with particle effects and trail renderers would have really taken this up another level. That being said, I did achieve flow state here, and enjoyed playing it.

Damn I'm not very good at this haha. Really cool concept, I like games that make you work for your ammo, and the spin is a cool use of that! The dodging mixed with the tank controls took a lot of getting used to, and I ended up standing still a lot of the time, but it kind of made sense after a bit. Still not super good at the movement but it does work :) The background changes with fake lights or similar in the grid cells is very nice too :) It would be nice if you could get a shield of some kind too, maybe one that reflects bullets, that could be cool.

GOD! I'm so bad at it, yet it was so much fun! Great use of the theme, spinning to collect enemies bullets is a really cool idea of stop action and reload. It was really hard for me (I'm bad at timing stuff), but it really was fun! Great job!

The programming really stands out in this game; it's a brilliant concept, a great game!

I really tried - but sadly I couldn't get beyond Wave 5 ┏༼ ◉ ╭╮ ◉༽┓ Nevertheless, the gameplay is really moreish, although the controls are a tad difficult to come to terms with - this might be simply a failing on my behalf though, to me W always means go "up", so having to press W to go forward when actually facing down was often too much for my simple brain, and I ended up careening into enemies more times than I'd like to admit ^^;;
