It's super polished, well done! The dash is cool, but it'd be nice if it conserved your momentum, and shooting in all directions would be helpful in a top-down perspective. Also it can be easy to get yourself softlocked with no ammo, as powerups aren't regenerated on death. The art is great, excellent submission

the story of the game, the game's about the main charachter who's being bullied at work and having a hard life, then he goes into a dream where he gets revenge from his co workers who bully him (who are the robot enemies), and have fun even though he knows it's just a dream and tries not to die so he doesn't wake up from the dream, and the suspension of disbelief is the intentional avoidance of critical thinking or logic in examining something unreal or impossible in reality

also about the theme, I don't know if everyone understands it but I meant that the character is having fun getting revenge from his co workers (who are the enemy robots), even though that's just a dream and not real, and that's what's called "the suspension of disbelief"
holy fricking shit dude thank you so much lmao when I read the first sentences I was like "oh shit I fricked up" but then you went like "this is extremely good" and I felt so uncomfortable seeing that lmao
thank you I really appreciate it and yeah the reason for the difficulty is that I tested it so much that It became so easy for me, if I had more time I would've got some playtesters, thanks so much for the review and I'm waiting for your rating tomorrow ;)

thank you very much this was really helpful, for the enemies shooting at you that's an issue that shouldn't happen most of the time and I'm sorry that it happened to you in the first time, for the movement this is my first 2d movement that I made completely by myself so I'm still learning, it was worse and I tried my best to improve it, for the enemies and the boss that is because I tested the game so much that I became so good at it so I wasn't really a good measure for difficulty and if I had more time I would've found some play testers, for the sounds I assume you forgot to make it a bit lower in the settings lmao, and since I'm working with speakers instead of heaphones I can't really do much with sounds, so I'm sorry about that, but the most important part is, what makes my game so close to dani's style? and which one of his games in particular? I took a lot of things from dani mostly polishing like the UI particles, the screen shake, the juicy sound effects, which I'm really proud of, and even the low pass filter when you pause the games, just bits of polish.
You're welcome! About what you said here: "for the enemies and the boss that is because I tested the game so much that I became so good at it so I wasn't really a good measure for difficulty and if I had more time I would've found some play testers", yeah I know how it is, I do that with my games too :).
Well the sound wasn't an issue really it was like 1 second of earrape, then I went on the settings menu and lower it down. About the movement, good job! I'm Really impressed that you made it yourself. :D Oh yeah, one thing that I didn't mention in my first comment was the settings menu, you need to go in the main menu and then in the settings menu, it's a little bit annoying, because you need to restart the game, but it's not that problematic.
You said this: "I took a lot of things from dani mostly polishing like the UI particles, the screen shake, the juicy sound effects", that was kinda what I was saying about the "It looks like Dani's game", and maybe the maybe the post processing, but that's just my opinion and it's not a bad thing, it's great to take things from other games and make them in your style. I don't know, when I saw the game I was like, that looks like a Dani game, but maybe that's just me. :D
Oh yeah another thing that I forgot, try to make the hit's when you hit a enemy more juicy, because sometime I didn't even know if I hit the enemy or not.

I have fixed the main tutorial issue, and nerfed the boss as it was so hard, and I may work on more updates if I have time, the update will be up soon, feel free to try it, and thank you so much again for giving me all this feedback
this game is meant to be expanded and to become a full release after the winner of the jam is announced so this is really helpful so thank you very very much

thanks, and I consider this a win (since you didn't finish the game so fast so that means it has a bit of playtime at least and it's no longer impossible), don't forget to rate the game tomorrow when the rating starts, I like yours too and I'll rate it tomorrow ;)
thank you so much again lmao
