This gets pretty crazy really fast 😭 I like that every area changes the obstacle patterns though. It stops the game from feeling like youre just dodging the same thing again and again.
The difficulty is probably the main thing Id change. Some of the later sections get REALLY hard and I think a lot of people might never see the second half because of that. Maybe giving the bird 2 or 3 hits before dying or adding an easier mode would help a lot. You could still keep the current difficulty for people who want the challenge.
The dash could also be a bit easier to use. Id make it go instantly in the direction youre holding instead of making it feel like another thing you have to think about while the screen is already full of projectiles.
Visually I really like the backgrounds. The only thing is the pixel bird and some of the smoother backgrounds/effects feel a little different from each other. Maybe making the effects more pixelated too or giving everything a more similar style would make it feel more consistent.
Music is probably my favorite part though. It fits the chaos really well and makes retrying much less annoying 😂
Really good game and the different patterns are easily the strongest part for me. Id mostly work on making the difficulty curve a little nicer so more people can actually see everything you made.
If you have some time please check out my game too! Id really appreciate a rating and some feedback :)
