If this doesn't win the polish category im going bald.

really really well done on every front, this is a complete package! I usually suck at bullet hell games (and I admittedly didn't get very far) but this was really fun! Like I said previously, this has some serious polish, amazing game feel and some crazy sfx, I love it.

I will say the connection to the theme is a littleeeee loose though.

Overall though, super well done!!

Very slick UI, nice music, cool mechanics.

I will say the bosses not generating ecstasy was a bummer so that I couldn't use any skills on those. Also, the bosses were really tough to track while dodging; idk what other bullet hells do for this, but I'd lose track of where the boss is, trying to keep away from the bullets.  One other thing was the chain reaction part; it wasn't core to the game. You could blow up those dudes if they were there, but they were just a little bit. Maybe I missed more chain reaction elements.

But I had fun, and it was very nicely polished! Good work!

Oooh a shooter game, with grazing mechanic? Interesting concept. Unfortunately I suck at bullet hells so I didn't get very far xD

I really like the art and aesthetic of the game. Even though the player and enemies are simple shapes, with the added post processing and other VFX, they really do pop out more.

The music is kinda too sharp for my ears. I'm not sure if it's intentional or not, given the name and theme of the game. Though the SFX are really good and punchy.

Incredible aesthetic here, would love to see more of the UI's amazing visual ideas brought into the gameplay side, though clarity is always a challenge when making fast-paced gameplay more interesting looking. Audio is all A+. Very difficult, too!

The game was very polished. The movement is super good. However it don't really fit the theme of chain reaction to me. Maybe if i try to use my brain ... Having multiple enemies count as chain, maybe...? 

A problem i had with the game is the difficulty. You could try making the boss indicator more visible on screen, or, by making the walls cover you from bullets.

Amazing game, both in terms of art and gameplay! I love how many content there are for a game created in three days.

Great game. The combat and the movement is very satisfying.

Extremely impressive game! The visuals are so dang clean. The UI looks incredible, and the main menu just felt so alive, I liked the small detail of the character's eyes having a trail on them.

Gameplay is pretty fun too. I'll be honest, I cannot get past the stage 3 boss, feels like a major leap in difficulty, but either way it was fun with how far I could get. It was cool each run seeing that the enemies were more interesting than I thought at first, especially the purple enemy that runs away and summons the explosive enemies. I do wish abilities were more useful, blink felt like the best, but mostly with boss fights (helped me survive the longest with the stage 3 boss). Deflect had it's moments but it wasn't crazy good, I think being hit and losing the entire meter was a bit much maybe, in the stage 3 boss once I had lost my meter from being hit once, it just felt like I lost any hope of winning, so maybe the abilities are fine it's just the rate at which you use them feels a little slow. But despite that, man, this really slaps. It's hard to believe you made this in only 3 days, it feels really polished and full of charm. I'm guessing the music is not made in the jam, but either way it was very good and fit the game very well. Movement and shooting felt very satisfying too. I'm not great at bullet hell games but this was really fun! Excellent work, you can really see the effort you put into this.
