Good bullet hell, traditional patterns and a somewaht original take on rotating the game rather than the player… kind of an inversion on tempest approach. I am not a big fan of rotated pixel-art, at this resolutions it kills crispness, but considering it’s not too detailled sprites here it works quite well. Overall a good entry.

Waaaaa very fun game!
One of the best games of the jam. Simple but catchy idea and crispy realization. Not had a rest until finished ))
For some reason hardest boss-planet was Skataar. Latest was not so hard.

RUNEDUCK!!!Solid entry! It was a lot of fun and quite challenging too, the difficulty curve was well defined. I've yet to beat The Sun tho.

DracohengeA really interesting mashup of mechanics, I had a lot of fun! Figuring out the right trick to avoid a particular bullet pattern is super satisfying, as is getting some good hits in when you finally get through defenses. I felt like the music didn't quite fit the hectic gameplay as well as it could have, but that didn't take away much from the gameplay experience. A solid game overall, well done!

Madness in Square GardenSimple and fun this was really cool.
I loved the concept and the circular movement was novel, and the various defences were interesting and challenging.
No real complaints I can think of besides for being a shame there weren't more levels.
