Good job on it! The gameplay is smooth and the design of each enemy is well made. I Liked the sound design on it too.

Was really looking forward to trying this one out, and you did not disappoint. For a first game this is amazing. Controls feel precise even with the keyboard and only took me 2 tries to take out the top cat and get the cup. Graphics are spot on. You also did a great job making the bullets stand out.

Now for some constructive feedback:

I think your firing point and hitbox are a bit to the right of the sprite. Not an issue in itself, it just triggered my OCD :).

It's a shmup, it needs some kind of score for bragging rights.

Since there's no variation in shooting, and no energy limit, ammo or speed change, you could just remove the fire button and have it fire automatically, or have an auto-fire toggle button.

The music is a bit too mellow. It needs to be a bit faster and more aggressive, to match the chaos on screen.

Overall I really like it and will be following you with great interest.

Thanks for the feedback. While voting is still happening I won't update the game file on Itch, but I have already added a score, boss healthbar, fixed the offset on the x,y, spawn of the bullets and will build a second version with more levels and updates once the jam voting is complete, thanks for the feedback I appreciate it.

I like simplicity. Art and music is nice. But how did you implement theme in your game. As art?

Really great aesthetic/style, the rhythm of the music and enemy patterns also felt really good. You did a great job of making interactions feel satisfying from destroying multiple enemies at once with the spreadshot and bobbing and weaving through the bullethell. Very replayable!

Lovely game, I like the art style. Felt like it was styled after Space Invaders. At least the gameplay felt that way. Loved the game though. Keep Up The Brilliant Work!

This is a very fun game, quite challenging and i love the graphics!! If you take this concept further adding scores would be great!

Noice game, I feel like the controller controls would’ve made it easier but I didn’t have a controller on hand.
