I kind of wish I didn’t have to restart all the way to the beginning of the game when I die. Maybe take me back to the start of a couple previous phases?

Having said that, this game has a simple concept but it executes it perfectly. I love the different phases, it keeps the gameplay pretty fresh. Good amount of polish too, great work!

A real example of easy-to-understand but hard-to-master. I really had fun enjoying it

This was a good challenge for me, I like all the different phases the boss had. I somehow managed to pull of a no damage taken run, which made me happy :)

Dang that squiggle has a lot of health. Must be drawn in permanent marker. Good job!

Straight-forward interpretation of the theme, great presentation and very responsive controls. Love me a good bullet-hell! Did get a bit tense at times and I especially liked the phase hints you got, more games should have that feature honestly! 

Fantastic work ! :)

I love the game, the idea of changing phases while counting down it health was nice. I love the music you choose and how the game feels. Great work!

The game feels really tight and having just one enemy during the entire game but having it get harder was cool. I never felt like the game pulled something out of its ass to kill me. Deaths were always fair. 
I never beat the boss even tho I got him under 1/4 health every time since I wasn't gonna whittle at its health again. 

Great job!

Good challenge, not too hard and not too easy, nice variety of boss phases and different attacks!

This was an amazing rendition of the challenge. I liked the artwork style. Best score was 500 hits left. Those shotguns keep getting me.

Honestly, the shotguns almost always hit me as well.

The pattern changed as the countdown went on, so it was less boring. Still, I can’t help thinking that the boss health is just too much.

Well designed boss and nice ramp up of difficulty! Well done!

Like the art and how the whole game is just one boss fight with a bunch of different faces. Could have been a bit more fun if the player also gets some powerups.

lol it was like boss game since begining :D but nice movement and shootings feel great!

Super fun game that had me fully locked in!

I absolutely love this game! I love the little detail of the camera moving slightly in the direction you are! It adds a little bit of extra movement its really nice!

Submitted(+1)

I really enjoyed the simplicity: no power-ups, no abilities, just a squiggly health bar and a crazy-fast shooting gun facing off in an arena. I don't see this needing any big additions, it just works. The start does get a bit repetitive after a few tries, I think the first half of the fight could have its health reduced.

Interesting take on the theme! I found myself having a lot of fun, and I LOVE the music, really made it feel more energetic. Also, the shooting patterns were fun and interesting to try and work around!

Nice art style and sound effects, the bullet shooting sound was very satisfying! I really liked how the different phases happened, it kept the game interesting! Good work!
