There's something really climactic about this game, intensified as it is by the ticking/countdown in the background...it feels like I just reached the final boss after a ton of foreshadowing. Amazing sound design, music, and sprite work 🤩
nice game! soundtrack was fitting choice/banger. Parrying was a little hard to grasp in the start, but once I got it felt pretty good! Overall super enjoyable game :]
Thanks so much! Glad to hear about the soundtrack because I had quite some trouble with my usual software and had to improvise half the process in the end
enjoyable! took a little bit to figure out the boss health bar but this is otherwise a fun, well-presented experience and parrying feels very good to do
Yep, I'm realizing now I should've came up with something for more impact while attacking the boss, even if most people figured it out. Thanks for the feedback!
I like the concept of a bullet hell when you can only parry. It took me a bit to understand that the parry is on a cooldown and the blue flash means you can parry. what was the shooting for? overall a fun game
You can shoot the boss and win the game. I should have done something to make that more clear, I suppose... it's been a common thread across the feedback I've gotten. There is a healthbar, but maybe people just haven't been noticing it.
Loved the vibes, but didn't do very well. Couldn't get the hang of the parry mechanic :( Stylish game though!!
I adore the style of this game. Enjoyed my time with this a lot :)
I liked the 8-bit vibe a lot! Specially the text animations, such a cool effect. Cute game!
Nice and fun game, one feedback would be background art could be cleaner. Not saying it is bad, it is good, but there are so many elements in background, it was confusing which to pay attention and which not. But I had fun playing it.
Thank you for the feedback!
Sans Undertale, is it you?
I will say, the only bullet hells I've played for a long duration are Star of Providence and UT/DR, so it's certainly derived from that yeah lol
very good, not many bad to say
great graphics and overall, pretty addicting!
