Definitely one of my favorites creatively I like my initial review 4/5 

Hey there, I am trying to get other to re-submit their reviews for my game if possible...it was deleted and removed from the Jam on accident based on a technicality which was solved between the Jam Host and a particular asset used in the game...please if you have time, energy, and/or generosity to re-saved your ratings/reviews for the game. I am going through and re-saving yours given my browser kept your rating saved data on my end...but it looks like I lost all 73 reviews and ratings from my end....  :( best of luck to you in the Jam

Cool game, some polish like screen shake and sfx would create a better experience. Good job though!

its an interesting game with nice combat mechanics but bosses's attack pattern and movement is quite erratic first boss can stack two word line attack creating unescapable death wall,second boss moves a bit too much to get a consistant hit and third boss side lazer attack's randomized position is quite annoying when paired with narrowed cam view

Developer

Thank you for the feedback!

Pretty great, but there are a few things I would of change.

First of, I liked your use of the theme, but I would of gone a bit further and do something similar to Ikaruga (Shooting white bullets protects you from white attack, shooting black bullets protects you from black attack)

Second, I think the bosses had nice patterns but sometimes felt impossible to dodge with how fast they could go or their sizes.

Third, (and this is more of a personal preference) it felt weird to me that the player HP was to the right.

Otherwise, I think the music bugged when played since I could hear two boss theme at the same time. But never the less, you made a really interesting game.

Really interesting take on the shooter genre. Agree that the text should be skippable.

Thanks for playing!

The music and the general concept are really great. But having to read through all that text every time can be tedious. Zooming out could also help because I lost the boss a few times while trying to attack from far away. Great work.

Developer

Thanks for playing and for the feedback!

Love the music, controls feel great, atmosphere is well made, The only critique I will give is to remove or shorten the text reading in the start.

Developer

Thanks for the advice ❤

Great game, This game had some of the best feeling controls and shooting that I have seen so far.  I think the game could benefit if the camera was zoomed out more making it easier to dodge, but other than that everything else was good.

I love this game, i played way longer than i thought. Atmosphere and the story is on point and straight in my alley. My only complain is that i couldn't defeat Grammar, but that is very accurate with my skillset irl. I couldn't quite deal damage quick enough, but i honestly had a blast playing and will try it again later.

Thank you!
