Really fun game! Reminds me a lot of Geometry Wars. Your colors and minimalist graphics were both on theme and just awesome! Movement was also great. Feels very polished, especially for a game jam.
Only thing I would recommend is making the power-ups have a halo glow or pulse or something to draw my eye more towards them. Maybe even just having all power-ups as pure white since everything else is a neon color? Not sure of the best solution, but it took me a while to notice them. I actually enjoyed the game even before seeing the power-ups. When I knew what to look for, the game jumped from fun to one of my top favorite games in this jam yet! Overall, amazing job!
Would appreciate it if you checked out my game too!
Thanks for playing! For the post game jam version, one of my goals will be making power-ups stand out more by adding animations to them so hopefully that will help them stand out! I took a break yesterday from rating games but I'm back on to rate some more so I'll be sure to rate yours!
nice art and take on the theme!
Thanks for playing!
Nice game!
I loved this neon style at the background that changes with the time, really nice ^^
Thanks!
Very fun experience
Thanks for playing!
Nice neon presentation with very tight and engaging controls and enemy combinations, tied together with a use of the theme that doubles as difficulty customization. A fun time.
- My favorite part was the enemies chosen and how they combined, with the soldier not being a 'threat' but then getting in the way when you were trying to defeat the threats behind it.
I really liked how the the use of the theme ended up creating a difficulty option, letting you have more health etc but accepting you wouldn't get the highest score, but still have fun if you're not great at these bullet hell-y games.
And I liked the skins to give an easy more permanent reward for multiple runs.
The sounds are great, especially stuff like the recognizable explosion of the enemy that shoots out bullets to help give you a heads up if you didn't see it.
A good selection of powerups too that feel good to have available.
- I think the fields grid would have benefited from being a darker color. Unless intentional it made the enemies and projectiles occasionally more difficult to see which affected the flow of the game and distracted me.
Often powerups were hard to see/got missed amongst the particles of the enemy itself dying. It would be nice if they were darker colors on a white glow backdrop instead to easily standout.
Thanks for playing! I really appreciate the in-depth review as well, it goes a long way to improving the game! The arena colours were one of the last thing I added so I didn't have much time to playtest the game with fresh eyes but I definitely agree it can be hard to see some enemies and projectiles. As for the powerups, I think I'll add an animation for them to either spin or bob up and down so they are easier to see. Thanks for the feedback
No worries :) ! Happy to hear the feedback helped.
Yeah, an animation like spinning plus scaling up/down would be perfect as that would stand out motion wise to the rest of the game.
I loved everything about this game! Risk/Reward well balanced, visuals, input feedback, etc! Good job!
Thanks for playing!
I LOVED THE MUSIC, it matched the gameplay perfectly and the visuals were bomb. I had fun with how fast paced it seemed, just dodging and running around while trying to shoot em. 10/10
Thanks for playing!
Really loved the music and the powerups.
Didn't like the background changing to colors similar to the enemies/projectiles.
Thanks for playing! Yeah I agree with the background thing. It was one of the last things I added so I didn't have much time to test how it looked with the different enemies so in the post game jam version, I will probably tone down the colours a bit.
Good game! But is so tough. Nice idea you can balance you game by yourself. GJ
Thanks!
Nice game. Feels very polished!
Thanks for playing!
Five stars in everything! Such a polished game in such a short time! Excellent idea, and the visuals are awesome! Maybe you could randomise the color theme while playing instead of just red, in the future! This game has a lot of potential!
Wow thanks!

Loved it! The visuals are nice, the sounds are great and the music is excellent! Very polished game, had a fun time playing it. Quite clever use of the theme too.
Thanks for playing!
this feel like it's a fully developed game and i enjoyed every moment of it. if you keep developing, i'd definitely want to see more of what you can add.
I'll definitely be developing it further! Thanks for playing!
The game is good but the time between shots is making me nervous !!!!!!!!
Everything fit together perfectly. well done!
Thanks for playing!
This game is a lot of fun and the use of the theme is pretty good. The enemy variety was efficient with the varieties I saw all complimenting each other quite nicely. Really good job here.
Thanks for the feedback!
Cool game, simple but entertaining, I relly liked the visuals and music, Good Job!
I love this game's variety, and I am not kidding. From all the unique powerups, stat changes, and enemy types there really was a lot of replay value. The sound and the graphics were very appealing and kept me engaged. Good work on the game!
Thanks for playing! Your game was great too!
Excellent shooter game that correlates to the jam's theme really well. It's fast paced, great music to complement it and it's greed mechanic allows players to play with varying difficulties and different play styles. I've seen some reviews on this game where people say it'd be impossible to survive with just 2 second fire rate and 50% chance of items but personally I disagree. I play with that 2 second fire rate and it allows me to think more strategically about my movements and my whole style revolves around retrieving items to take down enemies in different ways. Overall great game!
Thanks for playing!
